Preview and Check Content
Check and preview how your content will be displayed in your Scroll site and fix any possible problems with the content in your site early.
Scroll Sites offers you a series of tools to help you preview and check your content to ensure and improve its quality. These include:
a content byline item which tells you how many sites a Confluence page is part of and which exactly.
a page preview which shows you (from the comfort of your Confluence page) how a Confluence page will appear in the Scroll site,
a site updates screen which tells you all the pages in your site that were recently edited, added or deleted.
a site issue report which tells you all the issues that were found with your content in your live site.
This article will explain in detail how to use each of these tools.
Review Which Site(s) a Confluence Page Belongs to
You can identify which of your Confluence pages are part of a Scroll site by checking the Confluence page content byline. You can find the content byline on every Confluence page right under the page title.
If a page is part of a Scroll site, the byline under the Confluence page title will read 'Scroll Sites' and include a small Scroll Sites icon. Clicking that icon will show you a list of the Scroll site(s) that the page belongs to. For each site, you can:
click the site name to quickly access the Site settings screen for the site.
see whether the site uses a live update or manual update strategy.
click the eye icon to
open up a preview of that page to see how it will display in your Scroll site - this is for sites set to manual updates
open up the corresponding page in your live Scroll site- this is for sites set to live updates
For Manual Updates: Preview the Page Before Going Live
Clicking the eye icon in the content byline of a Confluence page will open a preview of the page in Scroll Sites. Please note, this preview is only available for sites set to manual updates as sites with live updates will always let you see the live page right away.
When using manual updates, the preview will give you an idea of how your Confluence page will look like in your Scroll site, even if the page and its changes aren’t part of the last site update yet. This helps you avoid going back to Confluence to fix your already published content and having to publish the changes again.
Use the preview to see if you need to fix or adjust your content in any way. Once adjusted, you can go to the Site updates screen to update the site and bring the changes live.
Detect Page Updates Using the Site Updates Screen
Once your content is reviewed and corrected, you can go to the Site updates screen to identify all content changes at a glance.
If needed, you can use the page links to navigate to the corresponding Confluence pages and review content again. Using Confluence’s page history, you can track what exactly on the page was modified since your last site update.
Fix Problems on Pages Using the Site Issue Report
With each site update, Scroll Sites detects issues in your content and summarizes them in the Site issue report. The report helps you identify problems like broken images or unsupported macros in your pages.
Use the links to the Confluence pages included in the report to make the necessary changes in the Confluence editor.
