Cloud & Server Differences

Features

Scroll Macros 

When installing Scroll PDF Exporter on Confluence Server/Data Center, the Scroll Exporter macros come bundled automatically and will be available after the installation. This differs to Confluence Cloud, where, to gain access to the Scroll Macros you would need to separately install the free Scroll Exporter Extensions app (after installing the macros will become available after a few minutes).

Legend:  – Available |  – Unavailable |  – Partially available

Macro	Description	Server / Data Center	Cloud	Details
Scroll Page title	Makes Scroll overwrite the page title on export.			On Cloud, this macro is not available. Instead, use the Scroll Page Title dialog by going to the Page tools menu (•••)  > Set Scroll Page Title. You can read more about this here.
Scroll app specific macros	For users of Scroll PDF Exporter 4.1 (and older), you may have used macros specific to individual exporters on your Confluence pages (eg. Scroll-PDF-Ignore). Since EXP-32 we have made changes to these Scroll macros so they are not app-specific.			On Cloud, these macro are not yet available.
