Locating a page when page version has 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.

WarningPlease 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. 


Instead of heading towards the Page history to get their URL, you can achieve this with a click (*rephrase)
