Classify overview

Classify helps Confluence teams visually classify pages and guide users around permissions and information sensitivity.

It is designed for Confluence admins, space admins, compliance teams, knowledge managers and teams that handle sensitive internal documentation.

Why visual classification matters

A Confluence page can contain sensitive information, but the page itself may not make that sensitivity obvious.

Classify helps by showing the selected classification level directly in the page experience. The visual banner and page header style make classification visible where page readers naturally look first.
