In our series of screencasts to introduce our new projectdoc plugin for Confluence, we show today how to use subdocuments and transclusion within your Confluence wiki.
Transclusion is a technique to include parts of a document into another at the time of viewing. This supports content reuse and helps to create and maintain consistent documentation in agile projects. These are the goals of modular documentation design and single sourcing.
The screencast shows how to use transclusion to give your readers the experience of reading one document without the need to click through the individual sections. As we have shown in previous screencast, displaying references in tables is powerful for an overview. But may have limits in presenting a topic concisely, where readers want to access the information on a topic in one go.
If you have missed our introduction to subdocuments, please consider to watch them first. The screencasts for novice users give you a gentle start into the concepts of the plugin, if you are new to projectdoc.
projectdoc is a plugin for Confluence to help agile teams to create and maintain their project documentation. It will be available soon on Atlassian Marketplace.
