Overview

1. Only published version of page can be sent to Collaborator with Confluence plugin.
2. Only opened page can be exported to MS Word file, nested pages are not exported. It’s consistent with common Confluence approach, where such actions are applied to the current page.
3. If user uploads confluence pages in NOT chronological order of versions AND with changed title Collaborator will display such version as new file. Example: Title1, v.2 and Title1.2, v.4, user uploads version 2 first, then v4.
4. It's recommended to use Collaborator server v.14.1 or higher to enable diffs calculation for cases, where there were changes in title of document (renaming) and such versions with different titles should be compared (older versions of Collaborator server are considered such versions with the different names as different documents).
5. Confluence plugin 1.0 can work with Confluence on-prem versions 6.x, 7.x ad 8.x, Confluence plugin 1.1 and higher are compatible with Confluence 7.x and 8.x only.
