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
- 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.
- Select the option to 'Copy the Link Location' the pop-up menu in your browser.
- Paste the link into a temporary location and copy only the numerals at the very end of the link.
- Click the 'Edit' tab of the page from which you want to link to the comment.
- 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.
Examples
Link to… |
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
- Right-click on the 'Permalink' icon located at the lower right of the comments box.
- 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.
- Use this URL to link to the comment from your web page.
