How to link to specific page version using URL parameter pageVersion

Question

Hi

I'm running your Confluence cloud solution, but I can't get the pageVersion linking to work. It just gives me the newest version of the document no matter what version I write:
https://XXXX.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XXXX/pages/XXXX/Release+changes?pageVersion=2

I even tried with your own template project but also to no avail:

https://templates.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RD/overview?pageVersion=2

Hope you can help me out on this!

Best regards

Jens

Thanks for your help, Shannon. I really hope this broken feature will be fixed soon :)

Thank you, Jens.

I was able to get a test Cloud instance set up and I'm able to confirm this behavior. It seems that due to the fact that we changed the URL formatting this no longer works the same.

I was able to find a feature request below for it:

* CONFCLOUD-57408

I've recorded my findings there in an Atlassian-facing comment. Please feel free to comment there as well with your experience and vote on it to help show your support for recovering the feature.

Hi Shannon

I was already able to get a link to an old version by browsing the old versions of the page, selecting one and copying the URL with the format:

https://XXXX.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=XXXX

However, I wanted an URL to an older version of document from which you could actually read the page version directly - simply because I find it smarter and more convenient. Doing the workaround described in the bug report is neither smart nor convenient.
