Hi @Ronit Gieske

Good question. When a user's account is deactivated in Confluence, their documentation will remain. (This happens so the admin can reactivate them at any time if needed)

However, keep in mind that this is not the same as when a user is deleted. If a user is deleted, then you'll see "Former User" instead of their name.

You can read more about this here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-happens-when-an-account-is-deactivated-vs-deleted/
