Single Sourcing

[Ben]

I want to use single sourcing in confluence pages. For example, I have content on one page, which I want to use, in another.

I know of the Excerpt Include macro, but this is limited to one per page. and we will need more than one use on a page.

Does a solution exist?

Hi @Ben Posnasky 

It does work if you include multiple excerpt macros

Please find the reference here

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

This is great thank you!

One question. It seems to only work within the same space. Is there an update, to work across multiple spaces within an organization?

Also it would be great if a list of available Exceprt names were displayed.

The Format to include the excerpts from other Spaces is

SpaceKey:PageName

For Example - JS:Page 1

Excerpts names need to be manually tracked as of now, but there are add-ons that track this data

Hi @Ben Posnasky ,

The thread given by @Pramodh M concerns our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and its Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include macros.

These macros allow you to search for excerpts within multiple spaces as well.

Hey @Ben Posnasky

The Page Include macro also has some benefits, as you can organize your content into an Inclusion Library. This can be nice for content that will be updated frequently.
