In our series of screencasts to introduce our new projectdoc plugin for Confluence, we added another screencast. This time we show the concept of autolists.
Autolists allow to update the list of relevant documents at the instance of a reader viewing the document. The document showing the list is referred to as the collecting document. The list in the existing document gets updated automatically without any actions required by the author of a new document. This technique helps to keep changes locally to one document, the new document that is created. The author adds properties to the new document so that it will be matched and displayed in the autolists of existing documents.
Having changes locally makes it easier for teams to collaborate on document work. This is especially important for agile teams, where all team member are helping to create and maintain the project documentation.
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.
