Integration with Scroll Viewport

Capable Publishing integrates seamlessly with Scroll Viewport to provide a robust, controlled workflow for publishing Confluence content to the internet. By combining Capable’s approval and publishing capabilities with Scroll Viewport’s static site generation, you can ensure only vetted, up-to-date content appears on your public documentation site.

This guide walks you through how to set up and manage a publishing workflow using Capable Publishing and Scroll Viewport.

Overview of Workflow

1. Content Creation and Review
   Authors create and edit content in a working space in Confluence.

2. Approval with Capable Publishing
   Articles are submitted for review using Capable Approval, where stakeholders review and approve updates.

3. Publishing to a Target Space
   Approved content is published by Capable to a dedicated Scroll Viewport space.

4. Scroll Viewport Publishing
   Scroll Viewport picks up the published content from the target space and generates the public site.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Prepare Your Spaces

• Source (Draft) Space
  Use this as the working space for internal documentation authors. This is where Capable Publishing's approval process will be configured.

• Target (Published) Space
  This space will receive approved content from Capable Publishing. Configure Scroll Viewport to use this space as the content source for your public site.

2. Configure Capable Approval and Publishing

Capable allows you to create approval workflows for individual pages or entire spaces. Here’s how to configure it:

• Enable Capable in your Draft Space: Ensure Capable Publishing is active in the space.

• Define an Approval Workflow:

  • Set up reviewers and approval rules.

• Set the Target Space:

  • In Capable Publishing, specify the target space as the Scroll Viewport space.

  • This tells Capable where to publish once a page is approved.

3. Publishing Approved Content

Once a page or group of pages is approved:

• Use the Publish button in Capable to publish the content to the target space.

• Capable will copy over the page hierarchy, attachments, and metadata as needed.

4. Configure Scroll Viewport

• In Scroll Viewport, configure the target space (from Step 2) as the content source.

• Customize the theme, domain, and other settings as required.

• When ready, deploy the site. Scroll Viewport will publish the content that Capable has delivered.

Benefits of This Integration

• Separation of Draft and Published Content
  Keep internal collaboration and editing separate from public content.

• Controlled Publishing
  Ensure content is reviewed and approved before it goes live.

• Repeatable, Scalable Workflow
  Ideal for teams managing product docs, release notes, or support knowledge bases.

• Public-Ready Output
  Scroll Viewport provides a polished, branded web presence powered by your approved Confluence content.
