Versioning | Create and manage different versions of your documentation in Confluence. | | | Although both apps provide functionality to create and manage versions of your documentation, there are still some fundamental differences between them that you should be aware of. |
| Variants (and Conditional Content) | Create and manage different variants of your documentation. | | | Conditional Content and variants will be implemented in Scroll Documents in the near-term future.
|
Publish in Confluence | Publish the documentation from your private authoring space to a public space. | | | Scroll Versions supports three different mechanisms to publish content within Confluence: Publish to a new space, Publish to an existing space, and Publish within the same space. Although, Scroll Documents does not support all these mechanisms yet, it provides a workaround that can help you with basic publishing use cases. |
| Publish to the Web | Publish your documentation and its versions to a publicly available Help Center using Scroll Viewport |
(Server Only) |
(Cloud Only) | Scroll Versions integrates with Scroll Viewport on Confluence Server only, while Scroll Documents integrates with Scroll Viewport on Confluence Cloud only. |
| Publish to a Document | Publish your documentation and its versions into different file formats with Scroll Exporters. | | | Scroll Versions integrates with all of our Scroll Exporters. Scroll Documents currently integrates with Scroll PDF Exporter and Scroll Word Exporter. |
| Publish to a different Confluence Instance (Remote Publishing) | Publish your content to a different Confluence instance. | | | As an alternative, you can use Scroll Viewport for Confluence Cloud to publish your documents created with Scroll Documents to a publicly available site. |

| Duplicate Page Titles | Unlike in a standard Confluence installation, you can use the same title for multiple pages in a space. | | | With Scroll Versions, this is achieved with the help of the Scroll Page Title which replaces the "actual" title in page view. In Scroll Documents, this is achieved with the help of Document Prefixes. |
| Page Keys & Context Sensitive Help | Assign page keys to specific pages that can be used to link to that page. | | | Page keys will be made available for Scroll Documents soon. |
