## Overview

Confluence **Page Properties** can be accessed using [Value References](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649694302).

## Where can they be used?

They can be used in any macro that supports [Value References](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649694302) or [conditions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649694110).

> ℹ️ See [Conditions, Content, and Value References](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649957347) for a list.

## How to use them

First, [define your page properties](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html).

For example, here we've defined a property named "**Reviewer**" with a [user ](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/mentions-251725350.html)**[@mention](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/mentions-251725350.html)** as its value:

You can then refer to that property, by name, in a value reference: `@Reviewer@`

Here's an example workflow using the reference.

```plaintext
{workflow:Page property}
   {state:Review|approved=Published}
      {approval:Review|user=&@Reviewer@}
   {state}
   {state:Published}
   {state}
{workflow}
```

Only the user defined by the "Reviewer" page property is able to approve that review, and, due to the `&`, they are automatically assigned to the review.

> ℹ️ You can use other types of value as well, such as text, [expiry dates](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649890606) and so on.

## Referencing properties on other pages

You can reference properties on other pages by adding the page title, like so: `@Some Page:Reviewer@`

If you want to reference a page in another space, add the [space key](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-keys-829076188.html) too, like so: `@SOMEKEY:Some Page:Reviewer@`
