Is the Live Doc supported with Scroll Viewport?

[Navira Zainab]

We roll out 2-3 releases per quarter. Our main concern is if we switch to Live Doc, does it support the Scroll Viewport or maybe the Scroll Site in the future?

Hi @Navira Zainab 

Scroll Viewport user here. To my best knowledge, live docs is not supported now. Scroll Sites - I don't know.

But, if you're looking at live docs as a some form of page-level workflow control, there are ways to achieve that even without live docs.

We release every two weeks (and publish docs many times in between) and have built a comprehensive setup that allows us to publish to Viewport any page at any time with next zero dependencies.

Hi @Kristian Klima 
Thanks for addressing the query. Good to know that you can publish your documentation, not the whole version, any page, any time with zero dependency. 
Will you pls guide a bit in detail? How can you do it? With Scroll Documents or any other strategy you guys adopt. 
Please let us know, we want to know how it is possible.

Hi @Navira Zainab 

There's a new page-level workflow feature in Scroll Documents (https://help.k15t.com/scroll-docs/3.27/cloud/manage-page-level-workflows) which, when combined with publishing to another confluence space and Viewport can work.

You can use a two-space strategy - you create your content in space A, then you sync the content to space B, and use space B as a source for Viewport. 

More about 'two-space strategy' in my Community article.

There are proper workflow apps (Workflows for Confluence by Appfox, Capable for Confluence by Capable) that can be configure in such a way that the last approval step syncs content to a different space that ... serves as the source for Viewport.

Personally, I'm using Comala Document Approval and Comala Publishing (legacy reasons).

Hi @Navira Zainab 

It's best to direct your question to the support portal of the vendor of the 3rd party app.

They should have the answers for you.
