Why Do I Need a Prefix When Creating, Copying, or Saving a Version of a Document?

In Confluence, it’s not possible to have multiple pages with the same title in the same space. This can cause conflicts when creating, copying, or versioning a document.

We recommend you add a prefix in the following cases:

• Creating a new page tree

• Saving a version of a document

The 'prefix' is added to the titles of all the pages that are created by Scroll Documents, and will be visible in the space sidebar.

To better understand why a prefix alleviates this issue, learn more about how new pages are created and added to your page tree in the background while using Scroll Documents.

Creating a Blank/On-boarding document

When you create a blank document or a new on-boarding document, new pages are created in the page tree. 

Copying a document

When you create a copy of a document, in the background, Scroll Documents creates a replica of all the pages in the document, including their hierarchy.

Saving a version

When you save a version of a document, in the background, Scroll Documents creates a replica of all the pages in the document, including their hierarchy, and place the copied page tree in the following location: Versions of [Name of your document].
