Is there a way to put TODO marker in Confluence pages, then find all pages with this marker?

Question

I'm looking for a way to put TODO markers on Confluence pages. SO I could then see TODO items in all documents. Just the way it's done in Visual Studio and other IDEs.

Answer 1

You could use a page label for this, but it applies to the page as a whole.

Answer 2

I have a user macro called TODO which I add to pages where I need to add/update content later.

It's simple to search for instances of this user macro on pages by searching for macroName:todo in Confluence search.

Here's the TODO user macro:

## Usage: {todo}
##
## Macro name: todo
## Macro title: TODO
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: No macro body
## Output: Selected output option
