I want to create a dynamic list of words or phrases which are in multiple pages. When you change a word, it should automatically update my list.

I tried to create a few excerpt macros in multiple pages, but can not show them all, only from one page.

Maybe there are easier aproach without using paid addons?

Example:

 

my words or phrases in pages

page1: test

page2: testing

page3: testing something

 

my dynamic list

page4: 

test

testing

testing something

Hi @Paulius Ragauskas ,

The standard Excerpt/Excerpt Include macros have several limitations, so we can suggest looking for some apps on the Atlassian Marketplace.

For example, one of our apps (that is Table Filter and Charts for Confluence) provides the Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

The macros allows you to collect

  • several (not one!) excerpts from one page
  • multi-excerpts within multiple pages and spaces searched by:
    • page names
    • page trees
    • labels

Seems that these options will fulfil your case.

Hi @Paulius Ragauskas Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I tried to replicate this by adding "Excerpt" macro in 3 pages and creating one page by adding "Excerpt Include" macro and it worked as expected, see below example page where i have added "Excerpt Include" macro -

Thanks for advice, but i need something different. I need a list which can automatically add content. I this case, every time i need to add new excerpt include macro, but i do not want to do it. Or maybe i do something wrong, because in one excerpt include macro i can only choose one page.

That is the only option if you want to do it natively. You can explore the plugin mentioned by Katerina in the other response.
