Locating a page when page
based on created dates despiteversion
beinghas reindexed or been deleted
When you linked your confluence pages with your Jira issues, what will happen when these pages are edited or even deleted? When a page version is deleted, the version numbers are reassigned and the versions of your documents are updated.
Here is how we could help you to better inform and advice your viewers:
When you've linking to v.2 (published in Feb 14, 2018 11.11) in Jira which has been deleted.

Similar to the example of re-indexing of version number and deletion, you can also search for page version via a hyperlink with the following format
| Info |
|---|
The url for the link would be as such (Base URL)/pages/showpage.action?version=(Version Number)&pageId=(Page Id)&date=(Modified Date in yyyyMMddHHmmss) |
| Component | Description | e.g. |
|---|---|---|
| Version | Page's version number referenced | 2 |
| Page ID | The page id of the latest version | 2851239 |
| Date | Date and time when the page was last modified | 20180214153010 (14th February 2018, 15:30:10pm) |
| Warning |
|---|
Please indicate a valid version number, page number and date format (which is after v.1 date) or no suggestions will be provided |
Referencing your comments to page's version
All comments are displayed on the page's latest version (e.g. v.6). To track the state of a document when a comment was added, you would need to look at the timestamp of the comment and navigate to the page history and locate their respective version.
You could now add the version's url to inform others the state of the page when the comment was made.
