'Include Page' across spaces and links

Jana Volencova June 11, 2018

Hello, 

I need to come up with a solution to this scenario:

We have a space with the application help which covers all the application modules (let's say Module A, Module B, Module C and Common Settings). We sell not only the application as is, but also "packages" which include various modules. So I need to prepare three more documentation sets (something like Module A + B + Common Settings / Module B + C + Common Settings etc.). 

Since I don't want to end up updating documentation at three or four different places, I thought of using the Include Page macro. I would copy the space structure and use just those modules which are part of the package and simply pull their descriptions from the "main" documentation space. 

This way I could re-create a full space, which would display the correct content but would be updated at just one place. 

But then I run into an issue with links. Since the pages are just the content as is in another space, then the links point to other pages within that original space. 

Does anyone have experience with similar solution? Could I somehow redirect the links? Disable them all? Recreate the three extra doc sets in another way? Have I overlooked some other cool Confluence functionality?

We use the Confluence Cloud version, so the macro options are rather limited. 

Any advice is most appreciated. Thank you.

I am not sure of your scenario completely but may be Anchors can help you. Have you looked at them ?

Thank you, Prakhar, for the tip. Anchors don't help, unfortunately. I am still stuck with the fact that an anchor-defined link will lead me back to the original space from which I included the page.
