Display content from include page and insert excerpt macros and synced blocks in your Scroll site even if the source pages are not part of your site’s content sources.
Confluence's Include Page, Insert Excerpt (formerly Excerpt Include), and Synced Block macros let you reuse content from other pages. They're a smart way to manage help content — you write something once and maintain it in one place instead of keeping copies in sync.
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). You can extend this to include content pulled in from outside those sources via the Include Page, Insert Excerpt, or Synced Block 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:
-
From the My Sites screen, click the card that has your site’s name.
-
From the left sidebar, click Site Settings > Content.
-
From the Site settings screen, click the toggle next to Display all included content.
-
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).
Want to prevent content from beeing published to you site?
