Confluence page Version Control

[Lena Sargsyan]

Hi Community,

We create and keep our IP documentation in Confluence. I would like to know if there is any solution for version control i Confluence. Like in GitLab we have different versions -  we would like to have that versions aligned with the GitLab versions. So as we know that this concrete version of documentation is related with the exact separate IP version. And we would like to do this automatically - if the code is updated in the GitLab repo then the respective documentation version is created and if we want to make respective changes we do, otherwise we just publish the same content of documentation for that version as well.

Thank you!

Lena

Scroll Documents app by K15t allows you to do just that. 

Work on you content's update, once ready, create a snapshot - that becomes your new version.

You always have one Working Version - and create snapshots of it as you need.

Your content can be defined as a full Confluence space, or you can create multiple 'documents' with that app and version them differently. It's really extremely pliable.

Scroll Docs pair well with Scroll Viewport that allows you to create a doc site with any version combination you want. For example, here https://agent-docs.emplifi.io/home/Production/ we're using it to create a pre-production (Training) and the Production version. Production is always the latest snapshot of Training. Which would be, I guess, your case. 

Disclaimer: I'm just a user of Scroll apps, I'm not working for K15t.

Alternative:

Once you have a new version of your content ready, create a copy of your tree (there are apps for that) and create a new space. The downside is, obviously, that you'll have a new space for each new version.

Thanks @Kristian Klima for your answer.

I would rather like to have any built-in, free of charge solution to this. But, anyway thank you for the response.

@Lena Sargsyan There might be a free app in the marketplace, it's worth the search :)
