Bookmarklets are JavaScript scripts stored in a bookmark of a user's browser. When users select this bookmark then – instead of opening the page at the end of the URL – the JavaScript code is executed.

Users of the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence can easily extend their browser with bookmarklets to run actions including

1. Alter Page Content
2. Show Metadata
3. Create based on projectdoc Document
4. Create based on Web Page

This short tip gives an example one or two examples for each of these use cases.

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

• The projectdoc Toolbox
• Web API Extension
  (only for if bookmarklets that need to access projectdoc documents)
• Bookmarklets Extension
  (provides a JacaScript 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.

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.
