The SoftComply Static Snapshots app was released in September to enable you to capture and freeze the dynamic data and macros on your Confluence pages.

We have made significant improvements to the app since then and you can read more about all of them in this newsletter.

One of the improvements we have made in the latest release is about simplifying the process of taking snapshots and using these snapshots to create static Confluence pages, i.e. making your Confluence page content static and dynamic, something we call locking and unlocking of the page content.

The byline menu item of the SoftComply Static Snapshots app now illustrates whether the Confluence page that you are on has dynamic content (is unlocked) or static content (is locked).

You can easily take a snapshot of the page, which stores the static content as a snapshot. You will also be able to use that snapshot to create a new page – “Lock Page with Latest Snap”, making the new version of the page static/locked. Once the page is locked and you go to the edit mode of the page, the page will be unlocked (made dynamic) again.

One of the new features of the Static Snapshots app is the ability to compare two snapshots between each other.

There are different places where you can access page comparison (diff viewer) to select the pages and snapshots that you wish to compare:

Once you have chosen to compare two pages, you will have a similar comparison view that is native to Confluence’s page comparison. On top of the content comparison, you will be able to see the information about the snapshots that are being compared - ID of the snapshot, author and timestamp.

Exporting snapshots to pdf format is important when you want to store the static page content from a certain point of time in your development lifecycle to add to the records about your product development.

Each pdf export of a snapshot will have the following information in its header: Timestamp (both of the pdf exporting as well as the snapshot creation), Author (both of the pdf export as well as the snapshot creator), and the title of the Confluence page the snapshot was taken of.

Similarly to exporting snapshots to pdf format, you may want to keep the static content of your work as attachments of your product development pages to illustrate the progress of work done over time.

Once the snapshot is exported as attachment, you will be able to access it from your page Actions menu → Attachments
