Issue Summary

After the rollout of the new version history / "View Changes" experience, it incorrectly marks unchanged page elements as modified. Static content that was not edited is reported as changed on every version comparison, producing a large volume of false change entries. This  forces users to click through each flagged item to identify actual changes.

Elements incorrectly flagged as changed (even when unedited):

•  Table of Contents macro
•  Included/embedded images
•  draw.io diagrams
•  Excerpt macros / Page Include macros

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Confluence page that contains a TOC macro, images, a http://draw.io diagram, and/or an excerpt/include macro.

1. Make a single, small unrelated edit and publish a new version (or wait for a Daily Digest cycle).

1. Open "View Changes" from the Daily Digest email, or compare the two versions in page Version History.

1. Observe the change highlights.

Expected Results

Only the elements actually edited are highlighted as changed. Unedited static macros/images are not flagged.

Actual Results

Static macros (TOC, image includes, draw.io, excerpt/include) are highlighted as changed on every comparison even though their content did not change.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
