Is there a way to identify milestone page versions in addition to change comments?

The ability to add a comment when publishing a page is Conflulence is a great feature but it has one significant, dare I say fatal flaw - it is not possible to modify the comment in any way after publishing. 

The problem is it is very easy to publish or update a page with no comment or the wrong comment, which makes using page publish comments not really the best option for identifying milestone versions.

Also, what happens if you're at version 12 and want to consider version 10 a milestone version? There's no way to retroactively do so.

The other thing is there seems to be no way to capture the page version of the current page for inclusion as a link.  (maybe I'm not doing this the right way?)

Currently using DC, looking forward to cloud, so I'll take whatever answer works.

Hi @Rob Horan 

On Cloud...

You can use Confluence's native feature Page Status (Verified) to denote the GOOD version.

Or there are workflow apps that denote the specific version as the GOOD/Milestone one (I think Workflows by Appfox and Breeze by B1nary can do that).

On DC - I'm pretty sure there are workflow apps that do provide that functinality
