Retrieving list of headers of a spesific topic into one page

[Thorbjørn Kirkeleit]

Hello!

We are new to Confluence and are just starting to add documentation into it.

Currently we are adding pages describing applications and services we are providing to our users, and in these pages we are describing standard changes to each application and service. This is all good but now I am looking to create a summary page that retrieves all headings from all the pages in the space regarding standard changes that are documented.

Any ideas on how to archieve this? :)

Each page has multiple headers (header 1, header 2 etc) and these are used to generate table of contents. And on each page some of these headers are naming standard changes our IT dept is able to do, and how to do them.

These are the headers I want to automatically list in a separate page describing all standard changes documented.

I am using page properties already to create simple metadata used in page property reports but I cannot see how this can be used to archieve what I am looking for.

Hopefully someone could help :)

Hello @Thorbjørn Kirkeleit and welcome to Community!

I think there are some different macros that could help. If you are looking to display information from child pages (for example, you add it to the top of a hierarchy of pages), the children display macro can display selected headers from the child pages.

Another macro that could help would be the excerpt and excerpt-include. You put the excerpt macro around the content you want to display elsewhere (so you put it around the TOC) and then use the excerpt-include on your summary page to display the the TOC. You could use multiple excerpt-include macros on one page to pull content from several different parent pages.
