Use Confluence as product documentation for web application

alekbless

Hello!

I'am currently looking for the best solution for our company to provide product documentation for our web application to our users.

We will write all documentation in Confluence "Documentation Space" and use Embedder for confluence to embed all pages into our web application. 

Is this a good way to solve this? Is it possible to include the menu for all pages as well?

I was looking at sharing my "cloud" space as well, but it seems that I can only share this with registered users @ Atlassian. This is not a good solution for me as we already have user credentials stored in our database and do not want the customer to have additional credentials. 

Thank you!

HI @alekbless

Within Confluence you can set up a page so that it has an index or "menu" for all the other pages.  As long as that plugin doesn't block that feature somehow, it should be possible.

For the second part of your question have you considered giving anonymous access to your "cloud" space?

If it is ok for everyone to see your documentation this route will allow your users to not log in and still see what they need.

Hope this helps!
