How to link to specific page version using URL parameter pageVersion

[Elisa Blaga]

Hi

I'm running your Confluence cloud solution, but I can't get the pageVersion linking to work. It just gives me the newest version of the document no matter what version I write:
https://XXXX.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XXXX/pages/XXXX/Release+changes?pageVersion=2

I even tried with your own template project but also to no avail:

https://templates.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RD/overview?pageVersion=2

Hope you can help me out on this!

Best regards

Hi Jens,

What happens when you link to the page version?  It might have worked in the past, as I see a bug for it here:

• CONFCLOUD-60068

However, Confluence Cloud has changed a lot since then. Can you let us know what behavior you experience? It may be that this feature is no longer intended for Confluence Cloud.

Hi Shannon

It gives me the newest version of the document no matter what version I put in the URL.

Jens,

Your behavior is a little bit different than the one mentioned there, but it may have changed since the bug was written.

At any rate, could you try the workaround and see if that fixes things for you?

Hi Shannon

I was already able to get a link to an old version by browsing the old versions of the page, selecting one and copying the URL with the format:

https://XXXX.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=XXXX

However, I wanted an URL to an older version of document from which you could actually read the page version directly - simply because I find it smarter and more convenient. Doing the workaround described in the bug report is neither smart nor convenient.

Thank you, Jens.

I was able to get a test Cloud instance set up and I'm able to confirm this behavior. It seems that due to the fact that we changed the URL formatting this no longer works the same.

I was able to find a feature request below for it:

• CONFCLOUD-57408

I've recorded my findings there in an Atlassian-facing comment. Please feel free to comment there as well with your experience and vote on it to help show your support for recovering the feature.

Thanks for your help, Shannon. I really hope this broken feature will be fixed soon :)
