    • 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.

      As mentinoned in CONF-5414, "the current version of a page always has the same URL, no matter how many versions have been created".

      Therefore, it is currently impossible to link to the current version of a page, so that when the page is changed in the future, the link will point to the old version.

      A workaround is to edit the page without modifying its contents, and then link to the previous version. Ugly!

      Ideally, it would be possible to link to the versions of a page using a descriptive URL, like http://example.com/display/spc/Home?version=6
