Overview
A snapshot collection is a curated group of snapshots documents. A snapshot document can be added to one or more collections. Collections can include snapshots included in other collections. Snapshots can be added from spaces across an instance.
Use
A collection can be used to organize and share snapshots of Confluence pages with the right people, while maintaining control over who can access and edit the information.
A collection can have
multiple different snapshot documents created from the same or different spaces
snapshot documents that have also be added to other collections
A snapshot document can be added to multiple collections if the same information needs to be distributed to several different groups of users. Likewise, teams can contribute their content to a collection from their own spaces.
Collection users
The collection manager is the user who created the collection. The collection manager can configure the collection permissions to manage the Confluence users and user groups who
can view the collection (collection viewers)
contribute to the collection (collection contributors)
Creating and managing a collection
A collection can be created in the space tools snapshot publishing dashboard by a space administrator.
The space administrator must also be a member of the user group added to Snapshot Publishers in the app global configuration.
Viewing collections
The Collections global viewer is accessed from the Confluence header menu bar.
For the current user, the viewer will display collections
that were created by the user (user is the collection manager)
user has view permission (the user has been added as a collection viewer)
user has contributor permission (the user has been added as a collection contributor)
