Access to different versions of the documentation

[Andrea L_ LOZANO]

Hi everyone! We are building our documentation from scratch and we would like to have a selector to access the documentation of each version of our product, just as Confluence does in its Data Center docs. You can see here the example 

Do you know how this can be configured? I've been taking a look at the Change History Macro documentation but I'm not sure if that's exactly the solution. We are using Confluence Cloud

Thanks!

@Andrea L_ LOZANO hello and welcome to the community

What you see is Scroll Documents app working with Scroll Viewport. All apps made by K15t and used by Atlassian in their documentation.

The way how Scroll Docs works is that you have a single Confluence space designated as a 'scroll document'. Once your content is ready, you create a snapshot of that document and which becomes your version 1.0 (for example). Then you continue working in your space, once all's ready, create another snapshot...

Then, in Viewport, you simply designate which versions you want to display.

Viewport is a tool that creates a documentation center for you from your Confluence content (your Confluene space may remain private) and docs public. It's incredibly easy to set up.

Disclaimer: I don't work for K15t, I just use their products.

Hi Kristian, thank you very much for the information!

Do you know if, in this case, previous versions can be edited? That is, once a version/snapshot has been created, can it be edited later?

@Andrea L_ LOZANO 

Yes, it can be edited.

In one of our sites, we are occasionally editing the Production version which serves as the 'latest' and is created via a snapshot.

Perfect, thank you very much for your help!

Hi @Andrea L_ LOZANO , the way to achieve this within Confluence (natively) is to have a Parent page and the add a page tree macro such that the parent displays the various version via a link; sort of a TOC for your versions. There isn't a drop-down solution AFAIK. You might check the Marketplace if that is an option.

[Andrea L_ LOZANO]

Great, we'll try this option first. Thank you so much!
