Overview
The Page Linker plugin allows users to specify directional links between Confluence pages. This feature helps to provide traceability between related pages, and keeping things organised.
It can also be used to categorise the type of pages implicitly, without having to associate a label to the page.
Possible Use Cases
There are many possible ways the plugin can be used.
Requirements Management
It will be possible to display all the related pages to the current page based on the type of links. E.g. The design specs and test specs for this requirement specs.
Release Planning
You can link all the required pages for a release. E.g.
-
Version Release PageUser Guide PageRelease Notes PageTest Results PageDeveloper Notes PageRequirement PagesDesign Pages
Dependency Tracking
You can link all the discussions/decisions related to requirements/design page by defining a "topic-discussion" link between the pages.
Duplicate Tracking
Sometimes, users want to create a new page for new versions instead of using Confluence's page versioning feature. Users can define "older-newer" relationship linking so that users can always navigate to the previous/newer versions
Page Navigation
It is possible to guide users to navigate a series of pages by using the "previous-next" relationship linking,
If you have other use cases to share, do let us know.
