With the recent Confluence version history change, how do I get the version number back?

[Keiran Craft]

We have a ISO 27001 ISMS Confluence system that uses the version number for version control of all policy, procedures and the like. How do I get that back easily? A hover over the date and time stamp change showing the version number would work

Hi @Keiran Craft -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Several people are running into challenges with the Confluence version history changes rolling out this week.  You may want to give Atlassian feedback, or submit a defect if needed.  Here is a related question describing how to do those actions:

As a workaround, you can use the three dot menu for the entry in the new version history on the right side to copy a version specific link. Paste this into the address bar or any text editor, the very last digit is your page version. 

That being said, I think the re-design is a catastrophy and should be reverted immediately.

Hi everyone,

David from the Confluence Cloud product team here. Thank you so much for your feedback.

I wanted to share that we are working on re-introducing version numbers to the new version history experience!

Thank you,

David
