Confluence Docs 3.0 : Recording Change Comments This page last changed on Jul 07, 2009 by ggaskell. A change comment is a short description that details the changes made to a page during an edit. Change comments are a useful way of keeping track of the history of a page. A 'change comment' is not the same as a comment added to a page. Refer to Commenting on a Page for information about that type of comment.
| Cannot update or remove a change comment Once a change comment has been added and the page has been saved, it is not possible to update or remove the change comment.
## Entering a Change Comment You can enter change comments in the field located below the edit screen: Screenshot: Entering change comments ## Viewing a Change Comment Once a comment has been added, it becomes visible in the view mode of the page, so that users are aware of the most recent changes made to a page. If a comment has been recorded, you will see a 'show comment' link below the page title. Click the link to view the comment. Screenshot: The 'show comment' link The 'hide comment' link allows you to hide the comment again, so that it does not distract you from the content of the page. Screenshot: The 'hide comment' link ## Viewing a History of Change Comments The change comments for a page are recorded under the 'Recent Changes' section of the page's 'Info' view and in the page's 'History' view.
