Repository Management of documentation in confluence

Question

Can anyone point me in the right direction - I am part of a development team and we are currently having issues with maintaining our documentation.  We are looking for a repository management tool/plugin that will allow us to work on different versions of technical documentation at the same time and merge into the base documents when complete. Kind of like working on 2 branches of code and then merging into the trunk.

We would like something that would highlight conflicts in the documents and allow us to merge the conflicts.

Hi @donna edwards,

As Stephen mentioned you could give a try of Scroll Versions, which allows you to version the whole space. You can track changes between the content if different versions, publish to other spaces (or even other Confluences) and compare the content between those spaces.

It's possible to reschedule and merge pages for different versions, but it's not yet possible to resolve conflicts on a paragraph level. We are tracking this feature request here.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Roman.

Well, one option would be to use the Scroll Versions Marketplace app in Confluence. Give it a try and it might work for your needs.

Another option would be to store your technical documentation in your git repository and simply use a tool like Git4C to display it in Confluence.
