Prerequisites

To run bookmarklets on Confluence in the context of the projectdoc Toolbox, the following apps need to be installed:

• Web API Extension
  (if bookmarklets need to access projectdoc documents)
• Bookmarklets Extension
  (if bookmarklets need access to the projectdoc JavaScript API for common tasks)

The Bookmarklets Extension also provides an editor to create bookmarks from JavaScript scripts.

Dependent on the bookmarklet the Information Systems Extension or doctype add-ons are required.

Alter Page Content

Bookmarklets easily alter content that is rendered in the browser. This is not a special use case for the projectdoc Toolbox. They would work without any projectdoc tools installed.

Show Metadata

Authors or readers may want to have access to metadata or related information to the page they are currently working with.

This information is typically shown in a separate window that could be kept open next to the main projectdoc document.

Create based on projectdoc Document

Working with projectdoc documents often results in creating new documents that are related to the current document. The context may provide information that is relevant as metadata for a new document.

Create based on Web Page

When working on a project, information from the web may be relevant to store in the project's library for further reference. There may be certain reports or entities on remote information systems that require a representation in your documentation. Bookmarklets make it easy to scap relevant information form the page currently rendered in the browser and create a new projectdoc document of a certain doctype.
