Confidential Label
The confidential label lets page editors mark a table as containing confidential content. When enabled, a red label appears above the table so readers can immediately see that the information should be handled carefully.
Quick guide
- Edit the table macro or import dialog.
- Open the Display tab in the table setup panel.
- Enable the Confidential label option.
- Save or publish the page.
Tip: Use this label when the table is visible to the right audience, but the content needs a clear handling warning.
How it works
The label is shown above the table in red. It acts as a visual notice that the table content is confidential and should not be shared or handled casually.
This setting affects the table presentation only. It does not change table data, column settings, sorting, grouping, exports, or formatting.
What to expect
- The confidential label is configured from the Display tab.
- The label appears above the table when enabled.
- The label is intended to warn readers about the sensitivity of the content.
- The underlying table remains unchanged.
The confidential label is not an access control feature. It does not hide, encrypt, redact, or restrict the table content. Use Confluence permissions and the appropriate data governance controls when access must be limited.
When to use it
- Tables with internal financial, customer, operational, or planning information.
- Reports that are shared with authorized teams but should not be redistributed.
- Working tables that include non-public business context.
- Pages where readers need an immediate reminder that the table content is sensitive.
Strategy Operations
Acme Co - Planning Team
Context and challenge:
A planning team maintains a table with upcoming initiatives, budget ranges, and internal notes.
The page is already restricted to the right team, but readers still need a clear reminder that the table is confidential.
Solution - Confidential label:
The editor enables the confidential label from the Display tab. A red label appears above the table,
making the sensitivity of the content visible before users read the data.
Impact:
Readers can recognize sensitive content immediately and handle the table with the expected level of care.
