An aspect is a document attached to another document to supply properties and sections. Aspects support modular documentation while the information can be still accessed in one document.

A context controlled macro uses properties from its context to control the content being rendered. This includes document and space properties.

A delegate document references one document to inherit properties and sections.

Delegate spaces help to organize information that is used by more than one space. Resources may be delegated to other spaces. This includes the definition of space properties and providing homepages for documents of a given type.

Doctype add-ons provide blueprints for the projectdoc Toolbox. All doctype add-ons are available in source code on Bitbucket. This way teams may download them and adapt them to their specific requirements.

A projectdoc document instance is based on a document type. Documents are created using page wizards provided by blueprints.

A property is metadata for a document. It has name, a value, and a control (such as hide).

A document type defines property and sections. A section is part of a document with a title and a body. Sections may be nested.

A document type (doctype) defines the properties and section for document instances. It also provides home and index pages. In Confluence these doctypes are implemented as page blueprints, usually with one template. This template is used to create new pages in Confluence.

Instances of this type provide information on an entity of the domain.

Delegate space that provides space properties and organizing doctype homepages for other spaces.

A reference to a document or fragment of an existing document that does not exist.

Features we assume are not relevant to all users of the projectdoc Toolbox are available as extensions. Extensions are add-ons for Confluence that require the projectdoc Toolbox Add-on to be installed, but can be installed separately on demand.

A member of a set of document instances of a common doctype. Used to be imported into wiki instances since they provided information to be used in different projects. Examples are topic types, resource types, and module types.

A remote controlled document uses macros that enable to control the content being rendered by request parameters.

Remote controls are sequences that allow to configure macros in transcluded content. This reconfiguration alters the rendering result of the macro. Only macros supporting the remote control feature can be remote controlled.

A property defined on the space homepage that takes effect on the space and delegating spaces.

Designed to keep information that is relevant for a given domain and is mandated to be up-to-date.

Designed to aggregate information that is relevant for a given spike or iteration.
