    • 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.

      Problem Definition

      Confluence allows us to add as many pinned comments to attachments like PDFs as we want.

      However, the UI will only load the first 100 of these (as it only ever loads the first page of results from the REST API), so adding more than 100 will cause these to not be loaded the next time the attachment is opened, even though they are present in the database.

      Suggested Solution

      Two changes:

      1. Officially document this limitation here
      2. Update the UI to enable loading the next page(s) of comments when available

            h3. Problem Definition

            Confluence allows us to add as many pinned comments to attachments like PDFs as we want.

            However, due to a limitation in REST API, it can only load 100 of these, so adding more than 100 will cause these to not be loaded the next time the attachment is opened, even though they are present in the database.

            Hi All,

            We also had this problem since everyone is using Confluence intensely to review document file and made Confluence as centralize documents.
