Compliance Glossary for Confluence

How do I find unapproved terms?

Run Compliance Scanner for the governed space. Production v6 can flag known governed terms that appear in content before approval. Review the page and the term's lifecycle state. Remove or replace the usage, or complete the required independent review. Then run a new scan to record the current result.

How it works

  1. Open Compliance Scanner.
  2. Select the governed space.
  3. Select Scan Space.
  4. Filter for unapproved-term findings.
  5. Correct the page or complete term review.
  6. Rescan and confirm the new state.

Example

A project page uses “critical service” while its definition is still under review. The scanner creates a finding. The team either removes the premature usage or completes independent approval. A later scan records whether the issue remains.

What this does not mean

A finding does not mean the draft definition should be approved. It shows that governed content and usage state are inconsistent. Review authority remains with the configured reviewers.

Next step

Do not use governed terminology as approved before the review decision exists.
