Page banner & save flow
Every classified page displays a banner at the top — the overall (rollup) classification. Saving a page is when banner and permissions are committed.
The Classifier button
On page view, the Classifier control in the page metadata area shows:
- Current banner (if saved)
- Option to open the Page Classifier dialog
- Rollup details when an update is needed
Save / publish flow
When you save or publish a page that contains classifications:
- Classifier scans editor content for macros and converted typed markers.
- It calculates the rollup (strictest level, compartment, release).
- A confirmation dialog shows the proposed page banner.
- You accept (or adjust via page-level classification if offered).
- Classifier updates page permissions to match the banner group.
- Classifier stores banner and classification properties on the page.
- Confluence completes the page save.
If step 5 or 6 fails (for example missing group), save is blocked and you see an error — try again after the group is created.
Create vs edit
| Situation | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Editing existing page | Rollup confirmed at save; permissions update immediately |
| Creating new page | Rollup may be queued until the page is published; properties flush when the page is first viewed with an ID |
Page-level classification
You can set or change classification at page level through the Page Classifier dialog. That value participates in rollup together with inline macros — the strictest marking wins for the banner.
What gets stored
After a successful save, the page retains:
- Banner text (for example
Secret//SCI//REL TO USA, CAN) - Component fields (level, compartment, release)
- List of individual classifications found on the page
- Audit metadata (author, source of save)
