Examples
I have some software which is updated semi-regularly. To make it easy to link, I want a single 'Release Notes' page which is updated to have the latest notes in it. However, I also want to keep an archive of previous release notes too.
- Create a release notes page called 'Release Notes 1.1'
- Create another page called 'Release Notes' with the following contents:
{redirect:Release Notes 1.1}
When a new version is released, do the following:
- Create a page called 'Release Notes 1.2' with the new notes.
- Edit the original 'Release Notes' page by adding '?redirect=false' to the URL. Eg:
http://www.foo.com/confluence/display/MYSPACE/Release+Notes?redirect=false
- Change the contents to:
{redirect:Release Notes 1.2}
Notes
- This macro does not keep track of whether the page being redirected to has had its name changed.
- To edit a page which redirects instantly, add '?redirect=false' to the URL manually.
- This macro uses JavaScript to redirect, so browsers with JavaScript turned off will have to click through manually.
