How Does Scroll Documents Handle Different Content Types?
When creating a space in Confluence, you can add different types of content. These are called "content types" and can be found when you click + Create. The available content types are:
Page (standard Confluence page or Live-edit page)
Whiteboard
Database

Smart Link
What is important to note is that Scroll Documents is designed for use with standard Confluence pages. Using Scroll Documents with other content types may cause issues. The table below shows the different Confluence content types and explains what happens when you try to use them with Scroll Documents:
