It is often useful to send links to confluence pages via e-mail. It is tempting to copy the page's URL from your browser's address bar, but this has two disadvantages:
- The URL's are often long and will get wrapped and/or corrupted in e-mail messages.
- If you change the title of the page, or move it to a different space, the URL will change.
Much better is to select Tools, Info from the menu bar near the top of the page, and from the info page select the "Tiny Link" which is not subject to either of the problems cited above. For example the "Tiny Link" for this news item is:
| No Format |
