1. Introduction

This page contains Editors Tools and Tips. These documentation pages describe how to use some of the features of Confluence along with other tools and tips that are used in maintaining SWEHB.  

Here are the children of this page. 

2. Branch And Merge

This process was developed to facilitate making changes to pages in the Production version of the SWEHB. Small changes like spelling and formatting are done as necessary with little or no announcements. 

Larger changes like the development of a new page (SWE or Topic) may need to have a development page (where the page is put together) in the same space as the existing page with old content. The SWEHBDOC Branch and Merge Process documents how the process works and explains how the old and the new co-exist and how the new content is put into the existing page in a seamless fashion after it is approved for release.

4. Redirect Tools

Redirection in all versions of SWEHB ended in August 2024 when support for the Redirect Macro was ended. 

In order to use the redirection function in SWEHB pages (to get to SPAN and certain Topic pages) it was necessary to come up with an alternative to the Service Rocket Redirection addon to Confluence. The SWEHBDOC Redirect Tools documentation explains the history of the problem and the resolution. 

The resolution has been implemented in several places in SWEHBVD: 

  • SPAN button points to a page containing a redirection taking the user to the SPAN in NEN page. 
  • Many Topics that were numbered in the X.Y format had to have a redirection to point to the new Topic page numbered in the X.YY format. This was done in 2024. 


5. Managing Hyperlinks

The SWEHBDOC Managing Hyperlinks document describes how links are edited and used in Confluence, Word, and PPT. 

In Confluence links can be: 

  • Relative - pointing to another page in the same space or another space in the same Confluence site. 
  • Absolute - pointing to a page or resource on another server either within NASA or out on the internet. 

The first tab of the above documentation describes the Confluence links in detail including shortcuts to adding and editing links in a Confluence space. When a link is included in a Confluence space, and the title of the target page changes, all relative links throughout the space are automatically updated. This reduces the maintenance burden on the SWEHB Maintainer.
