Sometimes you may want to link to a Confluence page from outside of Confluence, such as from another website or from within an email. In this case, you should consider using a link to a 'permanent' URL (also called a 'permalink'), in case the name of the Confluence page changes.

(info) If you are linking to a page from another page in the same Confluence site, it is better to use an internal wiki link rather than a permalink. Confluence can keep track of internal links and will let you know if the link is broken, such as when someone removes the linked page. See Linking to Pages Within the Same Space or Linking to Pages in Another Space. Internal wiki links are automatically updated if the page is renamed.

To link to a page's permanent URL:

  1. Choose 'Tools' > 'Link to this Page'.
  2. Copy the 'Tiny Link' and paste it into your email or external web page. This will create a link to the latest version of your Confluence page.
