    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

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

      When using the [change-history} macro it will display all the changes for the page. Ref: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Change-History+Macro

      However, clients tend to modify the pages frequently which result in quite a lengthy change history list.

      Suggestion:
      1) allow the change-history macro to support more parameters

      eg

      {change-history:max=1}

            Just had a user request to limit the macro to showing the last four revisions in this macro.

            @Simon Tan,
            Should we add additional description to this issue or create a new one ?
            In my case, we have several people updating constantly a page, and we would like to show recent changes that contain comments. The workaround we have to use is to manually write down in a table the changes performed each time.

            @Patrick, Roxy
            There is a workaround. You can add a DIV outside the Macro and add the following properties height:300px; Overflow-y:hidden
            Here is a preview

            Hello - thank you for sending in this suggestion! Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to implement this in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations correctly, we're closing this request now. If you'd like to describe more how this would help in your own use of Confluence, we may be able to provide better guidance.
            Thanks again for your idea, and please feel free to submit more!

            Regards,
            Confluence Product Management

            We also really need this, and judging by the comments on http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Change-History+Macro so do a lot of other people.
