Pulling the Last Modified Date and User of a page in another page
Asked by Jasmeet Sasan:

Is there any way, I can pull the Last Modified Date and User name who edited the page on to another page? Let's say, I have 2 pages, Page-A and Page-B.

Page-A has content and Page-B has a table with tracking information.

When a user changes the content of Page-A, then I would like to track the information such as Username and Last Modified Date (of Page-A) in 2 separate columns of a table on Page-B.

Please share if it is possible through Macro or if there is any other workaround.

You can control the information to be rendered and there is a simple filter. Of course you can specify the page in which changes you are interested in. The changes are rendered in a table.

For more information you may have a look at the documentation page of the [Change Log Macro](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/MQRpAg). There you'll find screenshots of the macro editor and the rendered result.

The add-on is only available for on-premise Confluence.

Confluence came with a Macro called "Recently Updated" which you can utilize. I haven't found a way to form a table yet, but at least it will keep you updated.  

Here's my example:

1. I added PAGE-A and PAGE-B, and inside PAGE-B i added the Recently Updated Macro.

2. I can edit the macro to configure it to my liking, such as only monitoring updates from specific author(s), specific space(s), label(s), and other configurations as well.

3. Page-B will show updates according to your configuration:

4. You can also click the **view change** link to see what actually changed:

5. And when I edit it with another user, it will be shown separately and you can compare them both by clicking the **view change** again

To be able to explore more about this Macro, you can check this page provided by Atlassian:

I hope my explanation can help in some ways, and I wish you a good day!
