You can add a link to a comment by making use of the permalink (permanent link) associated with each comment. Alternatively, using wiki markup you can link directly to the ID of a comment.

To link to a comment from within Confluence:

  1. Right-click the date/time at the lower right of the comment box.
  2. Use your browser's 'copy link location' function to copy the link on the date/time text. That link is the URL of the comment.
  3. Edit the page from which you want to link to the comment.
  4. Choose Insert > Link in the editor toolbar.
  5. Choose the Web Link tab.
  6. Paste the comment's URL into the address field.

  7. Provide link text if required.

  8. Choose Insert.
  9. Save the page.

To link to a comment from outside Confluence:

  1. Right-click the date/time at the lower right of the comment box.
  2. Use your browser's 'copy link location' function to copy the link on the date/time text. That link is the URL of the comment.
  3. Use this URL to link to the comment from your web page.

Linking to a comment via the comment ID

You can enter wiki markup into the Confluence editor, either via Insert > Wiki Markup, or by typing the full wiki markup into the editor and allowing Confluence to autoconvert it.

Here is the wiki markup syntax for linking to a comment, where the comment ID is '12345'.

Without an alias:

[$12345]

With an alias:

[alias text|$12345]

To find the ID of a comment, right-click the date/time at the lower right of the comment box and examine the URL of the comment.

  • The comment URL looks something like this:

    https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Linking+to+Comments?focusedCommentId=302812339#comment-302812339
  • The comment ID is a number, something like this: 302812339.
  • No labels
