Does Confluence have a feature like merge requests?

I am looking for a feature in Confluence that will prevent updates from being merged without admin permission.

You can achieve that by workflow control, or if you want a more granular control, by applying a two-space setup.

With a workflow app you can control stages of individual pages. For example: Draft, Review, Approved. You can assign permissions to advance the article to another stage to individuals or groups.

Appfire have a series of apps with various degrees of control granularity and sophistication Comala Document Approval, Document Control and Document Management.

Those apps work well with Comala Publishing app. And here's where we're entering the 'merge' realm.

Here's how it works:

You establish two spaces. The Source space and the Target space and link them with the app. All editing takes place in the Source space, your Target space is where users consume the content. Once changes are done in Source, you push to content to the Target space.

If you combine this with the aformentined approval apps, you can automate the process.

Once an admin approves a page, it is automatically published (merged :) ) into the Target space.

We're using this approach at Emplifi (https://docs.emplifi.io/ - the backend is Confluence, the site is built with K15t's Scroll Viewport) so we can work on multiple projects with multiple release dates at the same time. It's pretty much like Docs as code but without the burden of git :) We call it DocOps.

There's also Space Sync for Confluence - works with two spaces and you can assign permissions to push content from Source to Target (or the other way 'round if need be) to individual users. So no matter what edits are made, until the designated person doesn't sync the content to the target space, they're no published.

Thank you for your response. I will try it.
