    Description

      Hello

      I am maintaining company internal FAQs about deployed Atlassian products we run, and it often contains references to official documentation for the specific version we run.

      The problem is that URL to Atlassian products differs if version is latest or a previous one.

      For instance "Permissions and Restrictions" page for Confluence 7.3 is today:
      https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/permissions-and-restrictions-139557.html
      and will probably become:
      https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf73/permissions-and-restrictions-139557.html
      when another version will appear,
      according to pattern seen for previous Confluence 7.2:
      https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf72/permissions-and-restrictions-982323365.html

      Would it be possible to normalize documentation structure and create "/conf73/" even for latest product version, so that links copied as reference do not break with newer version?

      I propose that today's "/doc/" path becomes a simple alias to latest product version documentation.

      That suggestion also applies to documentation of all others Atlassian products.

      Thank you in advance for your understanding
