Confluence is a team collaboration platform. The projectdoc Toolbox support teams to write documentation in a modular style. Having separate documents for topics makes it even easier to work on a subject collaboratively. Team members edit different documents concurrently and assemble them by using transclusion or reference.

To create a discussion or positioning paper a team starts by defining the fundamental structure of the document in a new space. For each topic to be covered the team adds a section document as child to the root document. Information fragments that are included at different locations of the document are defined as modules. The individual documents (or parts of these documents) are assembled into a single document by transclusion. The team works collaboratively and concurrently on the separate documents. The current state of the compiled document is available instantly for everyone on the team and stakeholders with the appropriate access privileges.

Once the document is finished, it is printed to Microsoft Word format with ScrollOffice and exported to PDF. Both document formats are attached to the root document. If the team wants to provide a document that shows the changes to the external readers, the changes document is created on the current Word version and its predecessor.

The PDF version of the document is then sent to the external recipients. The team may want to track which stakeholders have received a copy of the document.
