Best practices for page title changes?

Open neongreen-sc opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Right now, when page title changes, confluencebuilder removes the old page entirely & creates a new page -- even if the content hasn't changed.

It seems like Confluence Server doesn't handle this situation well -- links to the old page start saying "This page has been deleted". Usually for a broken link Confluence says "maybe you meant X", but not in this case.

Are there any best practices for mitigating this? The following ideas come to mind:

  • An extension that will modify .rst files to include published page IDs after publication?
  • Keeping a local cache with path -> ID mappings?
  • ...smth else?
