I really like the idea of #2. Maybe combined with some way to indicate the 'lifespan' of a piece of documentation at the time of creation. We've got bits of docs lying around that were intended to be updated weekly, and regularly fall to the wayside for months at a time. A way to just tag them as 'weekly' and have them pop to the top of a list in yellow/red when they haven't been updated in 7/10 days, would be useful.

Even if it just ends up being a trigger for people to go 'hey, I cbf updating this anymore' and deleting it. It's better than just keeping it around in limbo forever. Our confluence is a graveyard of useless pages and it's only going to get worse over time. I imagine most are the same.

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one experiencing this. When using the Scribe feature I mentioned to mdeeks if anything becomes outdated that was under your purview you will see it at the top of your feed. Didn't want to go down the notification route because I was worried you would get 100 notifications and just learn to ignore them
