    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Some organisations want to be able to keep comments indefinitely, even when deleted.

      As such, we should allow keeping a per-page trashcan for comments. When a comment is deleted, it's placed in this trash, and a "view deleted comments" link appears in the page operations bar. Space admins can view/purge/restore these comments per page.

      Trashed comments do not show up in the space-level trashcan (too much clutter), except as a count at the top (also 1234 deleted comments), and an option for additional purging (Purge all... (Including comments)).

      The existence of a comment trash should be optional (and default to off), as it imposes an unnecessary manual management burden on the general use-case, which is that comments are ephemeral and their deletion not really much of an issue.
