      The 'Configuring a WebDAV client for Confluence' documentation should mention within the 'Using a WebDAV Client to Work with Pages' section the following bug, which prevents a WebDAV directory to be mapped as a network drive on Windows Explorer: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AOD-5858

      Because, due to this bug, this method of connection (as currently described on the documentation) no longer works.
      Also, the documentation should mention other methods of connection within Windows that work, like using third-party programs such as Cyberduck and BitKinex.
