(info) You need to edit in Wiki Markup mode to create a link to a comment.

On this page:

To link to a comment from within Confluence

  1. Right-click on the 'Permalink' icon located at the lower right of the comments box. You will notice that the URL ends in a series of numbers.

  2. Select the option to 'Copy the Link Location' the pop-up menu in your browser.

  3. Paste the link into a temporary location and copy only the numerals at the very end of the link.

  4. Click the 'Edit' tab of the page from which you want to link to the comment.

  5. Paste the numerals between square brackets (as you would when you create any link in Confluence), and then include the dollar sign '$' in front of the numbers.

What you need to type

What you will get

Comment in the same space

[$81167140]

81167140 (current space)

Comment in another space

[$81167141]

81167141 (CONF14 space)

Because you are linking to the actual database ID of the comment, you do not need to specify a space or a page id explicitly as that's calculated automatically from the database ID.

To link to a comment from outside Confluence

  1. Right-click on the 'Permalink' icon located at the lower right of the comments box.

  2. Copy the link location of the comment. Alternately, click on 'Permalink' or the date and copy the URL displayed in the address bar of your browser.

  3. Use this URL to link to the comment from your web page.
