Overview

A collection is a curated group of snapshots documents.

A collection is created by a space administrator in a space - the collection manager who created the collection. The collection manager configures the collection permissions to manage the Confluence users and user groups who

Once a collection is created

The collection manager must be a space administrator and be a member of the user group added to Snapshot Publishers in the app global configuration.

Create a collection

Collections can be created by a space administrator in any space that is enabled for snapshot publishing using the space tools snapshot publishing dashboard.

A space enabled for snapshot publishing creates a default collection for the space. This collection name is the spacekey for the space.

Choose the Add Collection button option.

In the New Collection dialog box add a name for the collection. You can also add a description.

The collection permissions for Viewers and Contributors can be added now or amended later. To add user permissions for the collection

  • choose Viewers/Contributors dropdown Groups menu

  • select Groups or Users

  • use the Unset drop down menu to add one or more Confluence user groups or users

Choose Save to create the collection and add to the current space.

On a Confluence document in the space, the added collection will be available as a collection option in the snapshot publishing popup to add a snapshot document.

If a user is not added as a contributor, the collection will not be available to add a snapshot document in the snapshot publishing popup for that user.

Managing a collection in a space

A space administrator can manage a collection in a space using the space snapshot publishing dashboard using the ellipsis menu option for each collection.

The Edit and Remove options will only be accessible if the current space administrator is also the collection manager for the collection.

Managing a snapshot in a collection

A snapshot in a collection in the space can be managed by the space administrator using the snapshot ellipsis menu for each snapshot.

A space administrator can

  • link the snapshot to another collection in the space

  • move the snapshot to another collection in the space

  • remove the snapshot from the current collection

Linking a collection to a space

Collections created in other spaces can be linked to a space that is enabled for snapshot publishing using the space tools snapshot publishing dashboard.

Linking a collection created in another space allows users in the current space to add snapshots from the space to that collection.
