Creating an Export Scheme

After you've created your template you have to create an export scheme. In the export schemes you can define which template should be used and set the general export settings. The export schemes can later be used to export your Confluence content to the wanted output format. You can either upload a global export scheme, or upload a space export scheme.

Creating a Global Export Scheme 

Before you begin: To upload a global Export Scheme, you must log in with Confluence Admin permissions and a template must exist.

To upload a global template:

1. Click the cog icon at top right of the screen and select Confluence Admin.
   The Administration Console is displayed.

2. In the  Scroll CHM Exporter section, click Export Schemes.
   The screen Global Export Schemes is displayed.
   

3. Click Create.
   The screen Create New Export Scheme is displayed.
4. Enter a name, an optional description, and configure the wanted settings. For more information about the available settings, see Explanation of the Export Settings.
5. Click Create.

The Export Scheme is created, listed in the available Export Schemes, and can be used to export your Confluence content globally.

Creating a Space Export Scheme 

Before you begin: To upload a space Export Scheme, you must log in with Space Admin permissions and a template must exist. 

To upload a space template:

1. Click Browse > Space Admin.
   The Administration Console is displayed.

2. In the  Scroll CHM Exporter section, click Export Schemes.
   The screen Available Export Schemes is displayed.
   

3. Click Create.
   The screen Create New Export Scheme is displayed.
4. Enter a name, an optional description, and configure the wanted settings. For more information about the available settings, see Explanation of the Export Settings.
5. Click Create.

The Export Scheme is created, listed in the available Export Schemes, and can be used to export your Confluence content in the specific space.

Explanation of the Export Settings

General		Choose a template	Select the template you want to use.
	Export	This page and its children	Activate this option, if you want to export the page you have clicked the button Export to CHM in, and all the children of this page.
		Only this page	Activate this option, if you just want to export the page you have clicked the button Export to CHM in.
		This page and all children with label ...	Activate this option, if you want to export the page you have clicked the button Export to CHM in, and all children with (a) certain label(s). Enter a space separated list of labels in the opened field. To exclude certain labels, prepend the ^ character to the label. For example 'admin_guide ^draft' will include pages with label 'admin_guide' but not draft. If a page is not included in the export due to its labels, none of its children pages is included even if having the respective label(s).
