Where can I use it?

- Use Case #1 Related Projects
Let’s assume you have created a Content Category named Project. You can now add a Metadata field as a Page link and name it Related Projects. Finally, you can link one or more Confluence pages (Related Projects) related to your main Project by adding them as Metadata values in the Page link field type.
- Use Case #2 Documentation and catalogue

With the help of the new field type addition – Page link you can link server pages with its applications and vice versa. What comes with IT documentation is an IT service catalogue, aka a list of technology resources available from the service provider within your organization.
