Compliance Glossary for Confluence

How do I find deprecated terms?

Run Compliance Scanner for the governed space. Production v6 compares page terminology with the effective glossary and creates page-linked findings when deprecated records are used. Review the affected page, current governed term, and replacement guidance. Correct the page or governance record, record the disposition, and run a new scan.

How it works

  1. Open Compliance Scanner.
  2. Use Select Space to Scan.
  3. Select Scan Space.
  4. Filter for deprecated-term findings.
  5. Correct each affected page or governance record.
  6. Record the reason and rescan.

Example

A procedure still uses “data owner” after that term was deprecated in favor of “information owner.” The scan links the finding to the page and governed term. The content owner updates the procedure, then a later scan records the corrected state.

What this does not mean

The scanner reports supported matches. It does not decide whether an exception is valid, edit pages, or prove that every indirect reference was found. Reviewers own the disposition.
