Monitor changes in confluence page hierarchy

Question

Hi all,

we want to move all our interface contracts to confluence now, but some colleagues have some points they´re complaining about.

One of them is, that they can´t monitor the changes in the whole hierarchy now, but only the changes of a single page.

Is there some functionality which gives you a hint when somebody created a new version of a page within a hierarchy ?

Thanks in advance and greetings,

Julian

Hi, almost ... :-) (many thanks for your reply nonetheless! :-) ),

what I want to know is, when somebody added, deleted or edited a page within the hirarchy.

The comparission to word is the best way to explain it.

In Word you have a big document with many many chaptors, but when you activate the monitor changes option you see all changes when you scroll through and can even move through the different changes with a next-previous system.

In confluence you have many sub pages and you don´t at a glance, if someone did any changes in a sub-page of your "document"

That´s one point my users have problems with when they have to move from word to confluence .....

Hi @Julian Prentl,

Just to clarify, you'd like to know when someone moves a page within the hierarchy or when they add a page to a hierarchy?

You are correct that they can monitor the changes of a single page in the version history.

To see when a new page is added you could use the Recently Updated Macro.

Unfortunately you can't see when a page was moved but there is a ticket still in consideration here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-5231

If I'm understanding your question correctly this should help.
