| Input | Action | Output | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Readable page at freeze time | Capture its exact scanned revision and canonical body | Frozen revision with SHA-256 identity | Deletion or source drift before capture blocks the freeze |
| Canonical frozen content | Store it under a content-addressed object key | Retained bytes separate from the live page | Retention policy still controls deletion |
| Revision record | Store hash, byte length, media type, and content object key | Searchable revision evidence | Metadata alone cannot reconstruct missing body bytes |
| Later live-source deletion | Preserve the deposited baseline and report the source state | Frozen evidence plus a distinct deletion gap | The deleted live page does not become available again |
| Verifiable archive | Preserve ordered artifact, usage, link, meaning, and conformance records | Portable evidence records with root and content hashes | It is not a full Confluence backup |
| Retention date or legal hold | Evaluate evidence lifecycle policy | Retain, expire, or hold disposition | Legal hold blocks deletion; elapsed retention can permit it |
How it works
- Before deletion, open Terminology Baseline.
- Use Create enterprise freeze and select Prepare and queue freeze.
- Review Freeze progress and Coverage blockers.
- Select Run verification. Use Export archive for portable records.
- After deletion, use Search deposited evidence or the Artifact filter.
- Select Open evidence for the frozen revision.
- Run verification again. Keep the source-deletion finding with the retained evidence.
Example
A policy page is captured at revision 12. Its canonical body and hash enter a completed baseline. The live page is later deleted. The frozen revision remains available while its retained content object is still present. Verification reports the deleted source separately. If capture never completed, the app cannot reconstruct revision 12 from archive metadata alone.
What this does not mean
Evidence survival is conditional. Capture must finish before source deletion. Required frozen objects must remain under the configured retention policy. Archive validation must pass. The app does not restore a deleted Confluence page. It does not provide a tenancy backup, legal WORM storage, or guaranteed indefinite retention.
