Hi everyone,

We're happy to share that we're working on a more intuitive URL format for pages and blog posts that includes the space key, pageId and page title. Going forward, page URLs will look like this: https://confluence.example.com/spaces/SPACEKEY/pages/pageId/Page+Title.

The pageId is used to retrieve the page or blog post, and the page title serves only to let users easily recognise pages. This means that links won't break when pages are renamed - they simply redirect to the updated URL.

References to URLs in the previous format like bookmarks will continue to work and also redirect the user. Even better, the new URL format also adds support for page titles that contain non-latin or special characters. 

This change will be released soon. Please look out for it in the Confluence Release Notes, and continue to watch this ticket for further updates.

Kind regards,

Jacqueline Bietz
