Pretty names are fairly useless for external links since changing the name of a page breaks the link. Is there a way to force all pages to use ID so it is easier to copy and paste links?
No, there's no way to do this easily. You'd have to turn off the code that makes the "pretty" urls.
I tend to use the short links (in the page properties) which are also invariant.
Well won't the pretty URLs redirect (or at least point the user to the correct page)?
And yeah, tiny URLs is probably the easiest way to go.
Thanks. The short links seem to work. I just wish there was an easier way of getting those links. Having to open each page and then wait while the link is generated is a bit slow.
Maybe update the page layout to display that value? Then it would always be visible,
Docs are here customizing-site-and-space-layouts.
You will have to search on how to get the tinyURL.
