Document restrictions

Scroll documents enables you to apply bulk restrictions to the pages that are part of the document. Additionally, it enables you to add restrictions that prevent users from modifying the document's metadata, e.g. document title, summary, labels etc.

	Can view	Can edit pages	Can edit metadata
Read*		-	-
Edit pages**			-
Edit title		-
Edit summary		-
Add/edit labels		-
Change cover (Additionally, If uploading a new custom cover, you will need Add Attachments space permission. If the document has a custom cover and you want upload a new one, you will need Delete Attachments space permission)		(only on the root page of the document)
Update status		-
Mark as a template		-
Set default exporter template		-

*  Applying view restrictions on the root page of a document using Confluence page restrictions has the same effect.

** Applying edit restrictions on all the pages of the document using Confluence page restrictions has the same effect.

Composer

The document composer enables you to add new and existing pages to your document, edit page titles and delete pages in bulk, and change the document structure. But in order to be able to perform all those actions you need to have the right permissions.

Gotchas

• If you created the request and still don't see it then there is a chance that someone revoked your space admin permission.
• If you were added as a reader and still don't see it then there is a chance that you do not have the permission to view the document.
