Is there a versioning bug?

[Marcel Guthmann]

At the moment, only the latest version of Confluence pages is accessible. While deep links to earlier versions are visible and clickable, they do not function and always redirect to the current version.

Hi @Marcel Guthmann and welcome,

I found your bug on the Atlassian backlog https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-83609 

Hope this helps,

Is this about Linking to a page version? Because I don't think it was ever possible.

Or is it about clicking a link in the page version history and defaulting to the current version?

[Marcel Guthmann]

It is about exactly what is described in the linked bug. Until yesterday it was possible to get to an old version of your page either by deeplink (where you needed to use the correct format) or via the version history. Now both options just show the content of the current version.

"I don't think it was ever possible." – It was, but you needed to use a workaround for it before as well. The deeplink needed to have the format that the links have when you click a version from the version history (that is not the current version). Then it worked.

Hi @Marcel Guthmann and welcome to the Community.

When you say 'Confluence page version', do you mean the page's version history?

If so, then what you're experiencing is a default behavior. Unless I'm very much mistaken, you cannot link to a page version.

Or are you not able to access the actual page version?
