28. Scroll Viewport - A theming add-on on steroids
• Disconnect the authoring from the design
• Have multiple Viewports per space
• URL and permission control over which view is used to display the content
• Style with HTML, CSS or JavaScript
• Use Confluence as a help center
• Display your content beautifully and even responsively styled
31. What is Scroll Versions about?
• Version management
• Manage multiple versions in a single space
• Work in parallel with the software development process
• Keep pace with the development team
• Use Confluence as a documentation platform
• One system fits all, Confluence as the only platform
• Publish content with a few clicks
• Have pages with the same page title within a single space
• Manage different product variants on the space level
32. • They needed a solution that can handle the complexity of the documentation
• The tech writers need to be able to work parallel with the development process
• Better reuse of content between Cloud and Server documentation sets
• Provide a better experience to readers
Why is Atlassian using it?
34. • Each Atlassian product typically has
• a single space for Cloud documentation
• multiple spaces for Server documentation
• one for the latest version
• a single one for each earlier version
Spaces
37. Version concept
• A Version is a collection of page edits that can be published at the same time
• Versions can reflect the actual versions of your product release cycle
• Every version inherits the edits made in previous, dependent versions
• no manual content copy needed, only make actual changes
39. • In Scroll Versions a Doc-
Administrator creates a version
called 5.9 BTF
• The tech writers can select this
version and make page edits
associated with that version

44. Version 5.3
Recap
• Versions are built as they are
organized in the product
development
• Versions are organized in the
order that things will ship to
customers
• Later versions inherit changes
made in earlier versions
45. Version 5.3
But what if …
• Feature branches are supported
• Decide what to name the
versions, and how they depend
on each other
• Merged as soon as they get
included in a major release
