How to add comment in page history

[Filip Stefanov]

How can i add such comment from REST API

can't see it in the GUI too.

[Ran · Accepted solution]

History comment can be added via REST API by sending: 

PUT /wiki/rest/api/content/{content_id}

{
 "id": "content_id",
 "title": "Page title",
 "space": {"key": "SPACEKEY"},
 "type": "page",
 "body": {
 "storage": {
 "value": "Page body",
 "representation": "storage"
 }
 },
 "version": {
 "message": "version comment",
 "number": 2
 }
}

 Or on the UI when saving the page

Once a version comment has been saved, it is not possible to change anymore.

For those trying to find this functionality in Atlassian Cloud circa January 2021 - to the right of  "Publish" while editing the page, choose the three horizontal dots, then "Publish with version comment".

[Poat]

this option doesn't exist for initial publish

Hi,

Is there any way to enforce filling comment whenever we want to update a page version?

This will prevent the need for adding comments for previous versions of a page

[Andre Bal]

I would like to bump this.

[Gord Anderson]

I would also like this ability.

[HuyNK]

How to show it in the GUI? Or what kind of pages would have that "What did you change?" box enabled in GUI?

[Doug Matthews]

Also looking for this functionality!

[Mei Lee Fung]

 Me too!  where did it go?

[Peter Saro]

Seems like it is only in Old editor but not in a new one.

[Maïté Puig]

Do you now when a new release will have the fix so that we can add the comment when publishing a new version ? Having history without the comment is hard to use ! HELP !

Hi, 

is there a possibility to update a page with REST to generate a new version while keeping the whole page content.

I’ve noticed that no new version is created unless the title or content changes.
I want to create a new page version triggered by the click on a checkbox, but keep the complete content. I just want to set a version message.

On the UI, when saving the page, this is possible.

Cheers,
Fabian
