Feature to update across multiple pages?

Chris Collins_r70uhl

Hi

Does Confluence have a feature that allows you to make a change in one place that is updated across multiple pages?

 

As an example, If there were 10 pages, which all had 3 columns in a table. Say:

ROW 1: Elephant

ROW 2: Giraffe

ROW3: Donkey

 

And, i wanted to update "Giraffe" across all 10 pages....

Is there a feature that would allow this?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Chris Collins 

There are three ways how to approach this.

• Use a search and replace app form the Atlassian marketplace.
  The risk is that if you're looking for a more generic word, it will replace things that you don't want to replace, so manual approach will be needed.
  
  
• a Variable app. This allows you to define a variable, for example, the word Elephant would be your variable. Every time you use Elephant, you put it into a Variable macro.
  
  
• Confluence Excerpt / Insert Excerpt macro.
  You put a reusable text on one page into an Excerpt macro. If you want to reuse it, use the Insert Excerpt macro. You can reuse it multiple times. Change the original in the Excerpt, all Inserts will change accordingly.
  Not suitable for a single word but in your case it might be doable.
