Does Atlassian provide any best practices for Housekeeping our tools JIRA & Confluence

Adil Bulsara _ADIL_ March 30, 2023

Does Atlassian provide any best practices / training for Housekeeping our tools JIRA & Confluence.

The size of the tool software has increased a lot over the years. We need to do some clean up from the JIRA database of components which are not used.

Workflows :: Let's begin with W/F's. We have 100's of W/F's in our JIRA database, some used, some unused.

How do we do a cleanup of all unwanted / unused workflows.

Pls guide.

THX,

Adil

To clean up Confluence and prevent turning that into chaos in the future, many use our app.

It won't clean up your configuration (like unused group), but your content (not-viewed or not-updated pages, expired ones, etc.). It works automatically and archives things instead of permanently deleting them.

Thanks.

Is there a way to archive Workflows (unused) ?

There is no such thing as "workflow" in the Confluence core features, so I guess you are talking about Jira here.

For Jira, there is an official guide to delete unused workflows published by Atlassian themselves: https://confluence.atlassian.com/clean/advanced-cleanup-1018789335.html

Have a look at this free course for Jira governance & housekeeping and here is a blog post by Adaptavist on how to clean up your Confluence.
