Release Notes for Page Linker 1.1.0

Referencing to a Specific Page Version

The link of the Confluence page always direct to the latest version of the page. Sometimes users may need the link to a particular version of the page such as

• approved version 

• the version that has been reviewed

• a specific version that is related to a particular release

This feature extends Confluence's automatic page versioning by providing a permalink for the particular page version so that everyone is on the "same page".

It address or improve on the following Jira issues:

• CONFSERVER-3290 - Link comments to page version that was current when comment was made

• CONFSERVER-8614 - Allow linking to historic version of a page, even if version is current at time of linking

• CONFSERVER-21916 -ability to link to absolute version of current version

• CONFSERVER-34886 - Permanent link to a version of a Confluence page when the page is the current page

Quick access to get link of the page version

The permalink to the current version can be easily retrieved from the page. It is also possible to retrieve the permalink of the a particular historical version too.
 

You can use the permalink in

The permalink will redirect to the correct version of the page even if 

• the page title has been changed
