How can I configure Change History macro to show latest version only?

[Sojan Reji Thomas]

Hi,

I am using the Change History macro in Confluence Cloud.

The Atlassian documentation says the macro can be configured as needed, but I do not see any configuration options when I insert or edit the macro.
https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-change-history-macro/

What I would like to do is limit the output to only the latest version information, rather than displaying the full page history. I want to use this in document header, so showing the complete history makes the header look quite messy.

Is there a way to configure the Change History macro in Confluence Cloud to show only the latest version/update information?

Thanks,
Sojan

Hi @Sojan Reji Thomas , the Change History macro can't do that. On Confluence Cloud it has no parameters at all (the "configure as needed" wording in that doc is the Data Center version), so there's no way to trim it to the latest version. For a clean header showing just the last update and who made it, use the Contributors macro instead: set the display to Inline, tick "Show last contribution time", and set the limit to 1.

Hi @Germán Morales _ Hiera Thank you for the response. Thank you for the response. Is there also a free macro, or any other way in Confluence Cloud, to display the current page version number, such as v24, v25, etc.?

No native option for that, @Sojan Reji Thomas  Confluence Cloud has no macro or variable that prints the current version number in the page body; it only lives in the page history and in the Change History macro, which you can't trim. For a free route, a Marketplace app that surfaces page metadata can show it, such as Information About Page. Without an app, the number is only reachable through the REST API as the content's version.number, which isn't something you can drop onto the page as a macro.

Thank you, @Germán Morales _ Hiera 

That clarifies it. I will check whether we can use a suitable Marketplace app instead.

Thank you for your help.

Hey @Sojan Reji Thomas 

It seems that our Page Information Macro is doing exactly what you need (It's free for up to 10 users).
