Approvals for Confluence Cloud - August 2026

Release Date

August 2026

Type of Update

IMPROVEMENTS DEPRECATIONS bug fixes

Improvements 🛠️

  • Users no longer require edit permissions to approve or reject a page (even if the Approvals for Confluence user does not have access to the page)

  • A ‘reason’ column has been added to the Section Approval history table to match the Page Approval implementation. You can now see whether an expiry was due to a page edit or due to a time-based expiry.

Deprecations ❌

  • Section Approvals > “Disable Automatic Comments” - will be removed on

    • Historically, when decisions have been made on Section Approvals, the app has left page comments explaining which approvers made which decision as the default behaviour. This setting allowed you to disable this behaviour. After , the app will no longer leave these page comments because the functionality is better served by Section Approval History.

  • Space Settings > General > “Display Timestamps” - will be removed on

    • This setting allowed you to prevent timestamps from being displayed when actions in Approvals were taken. After , the app will display timestamps regardless.

Bug fixes 🐛

  • Fixed a bug where the search page could incorrectly show fewer results than the number of rows per page when filtering by overall approval status
