    A big part of our documentation is generated from code and pushed to Confluence using the REST API. Documents created over REST, or updated over REST, are not versioned. Although a REST API specifically for Scroll Versions is not officially supported, K15t's support staff replied promptly and elaborately. With their help I've managed to automate the versioning of our documentation and solve a crucial problem for us. I can recommend both the add-on and the service K15t provides to anyone looking to version Confluence pages.

    This is a great tool to improve content management in Confluence. Easy to use and very helpful. Works great with Scroll Translations and Scroll Viewport.

    My company has moved from a DITA-based user guide for our application to authoring it in Confluence. When we first started in Confluence, it became painfully clear that it did not offer the versioning or publishing abilities we needed, which lead to tons of rework when trying to deploy content to a Preview and GA space. We decided to give Scroll Versions a try, and I guess I can't really state just how much it has changed things for us. Our writing team can now just pick the version in which they want content to appear and then start writing. It's a fundamental change for us, and allows us to maintain multiple versions with ease. We can now maintain a version of content for each sprints work, and publish it at the end of each sprint as we release that work. I look like a super star because our writing team can publish new content and fixes with the push a button. It's helped build trust in the team and the process. Though not a specific feature of Scroll Versions, we've used the recommended approach of building an Include Library to hold our reusable content. We've built our Include Library to several hundred pages and it's still growing. Our content is now very organized, and is being reused in multiple ways. We're even considering opening the library to other teams in the company to let use the chunks of content that's already been written for their resources. With the switch from DITA to Confluence + Scroll Versions, we've drastically increased the amount of content written each sprint, shortened review time, and removed the need for technical resources in reviewing and publishing content. This has let us focus on improving our content rather than fighting with the content creation and publishing tools.

    We are using scroll versions+translation for a about two years now. There are important issues that have not been fixed until now: - Include page doesn't work anymore when using scroll translations. So reusing content from other spaces is not possible. Not acceptable workaround: put your content in one space and use variants. - Excerpt include doesn't work anymore. E.g. describing an API and quoting the key functionality from the individual function description in a table (as an overview) can't be automated and has do be done manually. - copy/move pages to other spaces doesn't work anymore. Content has to me moved or copied by cut/copy/paste - The integrated workflow doesn't protect a page from being changed after the page is already in the state "complete". Changing content in this state doesn't switch the page state to "draft" again. So you might publish content that was not reviewed. Not acceptable workaround: buy another plugin for workflow management. - Comments get lost when creating and editing a new version of a space: create a version 1, create a page, comment to this page. Create version 2, edit the page --> The comments are not copied. You don't see the comments. The issue occurs for all kind of comments (inline and bottom). - Documentation still covers version 2.x 6 weeks after the 3.x major release.

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you for giving such detailed feedback and for being a long-time customer.

    In 2015 we had about 19 releases of Scroll Versions related to new features, improvements and bug fixes. I am really sorry that the issues you mentioned were not part of those releases.

    We are aware that your example of content re-use is a key feature required for technical communication and it is currently a high priority in our roadmap.

    I am happy to get in touch with you personally if you like, to discuss/explain issues in more detail and see what we can do to help your situation.

    Cheers, Tobias (Product Manager)

    We found Scroll Versions to be very useful and is a key component in our documentation process. It is easy to use and comes with a lot of powerful features, like variants, permission controls, and more. Thank you for making such a great product!

    The Versions selection is quick and intuitive, feels just right for our users and future customers to grasp. It's a bit troublesome to manage pages in the backend, but simple enough to configure and understand to scale to our requirements in the long run. I was disappointed to see that the versioned publishing approach (Viewport) has some significant downsides in combination with Comala Workflows or other "organizational" Addons that use the page name as base for progress status monitoring. As of now there is currently no possiblity to batch-process, manage and monitor versioned pages or subsets in bulk - only for the whole space and current version. This is the largest downside which keeps me from giving this otherwise very useful Addon a 4stars rating. Once you know about those limitation you can work around them - which the excellent, patient and quick support of K15 managed to clarify for me. With that said: If you keep your content simple and limited to base Confluence capabilities, Scroll Versions does the job nice and efficiently.

    I just love this app. Use it for the products documentation mostly. It allows me to avoid the spaces multiplication and make corrections for all required versions at once – discrepancies are in the past. Also, the bunch of macros is really nice. My favorite Confluence app so far!

    Scroll Versions is hands down one of my favorite apps. If you are versioning in Confluence this app is the only one I would ever recommend. Another awesome feature of this app is the ability to have same name pages within a space. That alone makes this app Amazeballs! K15t knocks another one outta the park!

    Null Sternchen! Die versionierung erzeugt tote Links verhindert die Restruktuierung von Seiten. Zudem werden alte Versionen massenhaft in der in der Übersicht angezeigt. Nachdem ich das Plugin aufgrund der Untauglichkeit deinstalliert habe, sind nun alle versionierten Seiten tote Links, die Redirects in einer Schleife erzeugen. diese können dann nicht gelöscht werden. Ich kann die gesamten Spaces / Bereiche neu aufbauen und vertrödele meine Zeit mit der Reparatur aufgrund einer Schad-Software wie dieser. Made my day! Danke dafür! Alle anderen Produkte der Firma werden ebenfalls gelöscht, da sehr ähnliche Schäden zu erwarten sind! Take care with that Software it creates damages of you spaces!

    Pricing FAQ

    How does server app pricing work?

    Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).

    You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).

    If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

    How do I determine my server pricing?

    Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian product. For example, if you have a Confluence license for 500 users, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Atlassian product license, the two licenses should match exactly.

    Can I install this app in a Data Center product?

    Yes, this app has a Data Center approved version. If you're using a Data Center product, you should install the Data Center version of the app.

    Learn more about Data Center approved apps

    What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?

    Because this app has a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Data Center license for the app.

    If you already own a server license for this app, you can continue using the server license in your Data Center product for a limited period of time.

    Learn more about Data Center licensing

    Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?

    For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.

    Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.

    Can I extend my free trial?

    For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.

    How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?

    If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:

    • Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
    • Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

    Pricing FAQ

    How does Data Center app pricing work?

    Data Center apps are sold as an annual subscription. You are eligible for support and version updates as long as your subscription is active.

    If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

    How do I determine my Data Center pricing?

    Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. The app tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian product. For example, if you have a Confluence license for 500 users, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Atlassian product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
