Allow to Display Content From Any Includes

Display content from include page and insert excerpt macros in your Scroll site even if the source pages are not part of your site’s content sources.

Confluence’s include page and insert excerpt (formally known as excerpt-include) macros enable you to reuse content from another page. They are a smart way to manage help center content, since you avoid writing and maintaining the same piece of content in multiple locations.

By default, Scroll Sites displays content only if it is contained in the content sources you have added to your site (and only if the app has permission to access the specific content). Scroll Sites lets you extend those permissions to include content from outside your content sources if this content is pulled into your content sources via include page and insert excerpt macros.

Opening up your content inclusions in this way enables you to manage reusable content in a dedicated Confluence space or Scroll Document (so-called “reuse libraries”) and serve multiple Scroll Sites content sources from that location, without having to make those libraries a visible part of your help center.

Allow to Display All Included Content

Use your site settings to determine if content from outside content sources should be displayed in your site or not.

To change the content inclusions setting:

1. From the My Sites screen, click the card that has your site’s name.

2. From the left sidebar, click Site Settings > Content.

3. From the Site settings screen, click the toggle next to Display all included content.

4. From the Site settings screen, click Publish changes or Save changes in the top right.

Your change will now automatically trigger a new site update (for sites set to live updates) or be applied with your next site update (for sites set to manual updates).

Keep Source Content From Being Published

If you don’t want to publish the actual source content as a page in your site, you can use the scroll-sites-no-publish label.

The label prevents Scroll Sites to generate a physical representation of the labeled page in your site. The actual content of the page can still be pulled into the site by pages that include this content via include page or excerpt include macros but the source content itself won’t be accessible via a URL.
