Getting Started

This guide explains the basic Classify flow for a page editor or admin reviewing a Confluence page.

Before you start

Make sure classification levels have been configured for the space or inherited from a global template.

TODO: Confirm product behavior. Confirm whether a page can be classified before any space configuration exists.

Basic flow

1. Open a Confluence page.
2. Open the Classify control.
3. Select a classification level.
4. Review the visual banner or page header style.
5. Check permission guidance if it appears.

TODO: Confirm product behavior. Confirm the exact entry point name in the Confluence page UI.

Apply a classification to a page

Choose the classification level that best matches the page content.

For example, a general internal policy page may use Internal, while a salary planning page may use Confidential.

Review the visual banner

After the classification is applied, readers should be able to see the selected level clearly in the page experience.

Check permission guidance

If permission guidance is shown, review whether the page access appears aligned with the selected classification level.

Caution

Do not rely on classification alone to protect sensitive content. Review Confluence permissions when access control is required.
