Overview

Scaffolding provides reusable and editable forms with powerful live templates to simplify managing large Confluence instances.

...

Imagine that you need to create and maintain a similar group of pages, for example, knowledge base articles.

  • apply structure and layout changes in template to all articles at once

Panel

You can't apply further changes to a template to all the previous pages that have already used it (those pages will only display what was on the old template)

  • an easy way for users to contribute and edit content, and guided by predefined sections. In this case, you would have Problems, Troubleshooting Steps, Solution, and so on

Scaffolding made this easy with two key functionalities.

Create versatile forms

Make templates dynamic

By using the Field Group macro, you can define a page structure. This structure guides the end users on what and where to contribute content.

By using the Live Template macro that calls on pages or templates equipped with the Field Group macro, you can turn a static template into a dynamic template.

...

Info

Each Live Template macro is referencing to the same template, which contains a Field Group macro.
