Extracting Confluence content into a hard copy publishable format

[Julie Tholen]

So the project that I have been working on is a "playbook." The client has created a hard copy desktop reference book from that playbook, and included additional content.

I reviewed and updated the playbook. Now I have an opportunity to sync up the playbook with the desktop reference.

Issue: The desktop was had a gaggle of authors, no real editor

I am struggling a little bit with a good review strategy. So far I have putzed around with  the following:

1. hard copy markup
2. electronic markup (word)
3. section by section comparison with playbook

Also keeping the content in sync is a challenge. If I had been involved in the beginning, I would have had the playbook contain the more robust descriptions / explanations and the simply excerpted the procedures into the desktop reference, exported to Word and formatted for print. But I wasn't here. Sooo....

Just wondering if anyone else has been dealing with this dual edged content usage sword.

Are you trying to add content from the hard copy to the Confluence version or from the Confluence version to the hard copy?
