Scroll Content Manager enables you to preserve versions of Confluence pages, including those with included pages, synced blocks, or excerpts.
When you save a version and select the Resolve Include Page, Insert Excerpt, MultiExcerpt Include and Sync Block macros option, macros referencing content outside the document are resolved, making their content a permanent part of the page. This ensures that updates to the source content affect only the Working version of the document.
Moreover, you can utilize Scroll Content Manager to version the macros:
-
Insert excerpt (formerly known as “Excerpt Include”),
-
and MultiExcerpt Include (from the third-party app MultiExcerpt by Appfire),
Synced blocks: If a source synced block is created in the source version, both the source block and all its referencing copies are automatically resolved in the new version.
Avoid including pages with page layouts in your document. When content from an external page is included, layouts are removed if the resolve option is enabled, which can cause content to shift around.

-
While saving a version, on the New version dialog, click on the Advanced tab.

Ensure Resolve Include Page, Insert Excerpt, MultiExcerpt Include and Sync Block macros is selected.
