[Pages] ALL links when Page name changes

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Here's a common scenario:

 

An instructor makes a page, let's say a module overview page, and then links to this page from a custom Home page. While developing the course, the instructor changes the name of the module overview page. This breaks the homepage link because the page URL contains the page name.

 

Please create a system to avoid this common problem.

Coming back here after 7 years to thank myself for requesting this. 

Let's start 2023 with this fix!

Never been so excited to see a request "in development". 😊

Hi Everyone - This idea has been moved out of "in development" to better align expectations. The Product Team shared that this issue is going to be addressed, but a combination of other high-priority commitments and the technical complexity of changing how Page links work in Canvas make it difficult to project a completion date. As the scope of work comes into focus the Product Team will be able to add an expected release date to the public roadmap.
