Flowing information and chunks of content to multiple pages
Asked by Jared Colombel:

Greetings All,

I'm attempting to flow up and down information to other pages and spaces and wanted to see if this is possible beyond linking the material. I would prefer to have a source of truth for updating and the information is shared with other departments via a sibling or child page or another space. Any thoughts?

-Jared

The excerpt macro will allow you to create content on a page that can be used on other pages through the excerpt include macro. <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/> The users have to have permission to the page in which the excerpt is coming from. There are also apps that provide this type of functionality as well.

If you have key information in a table on a child page, you can put the 'Page properties' macro around that table, and then fetch the information and display it on another page as a kind of index. If someone changes the information in the child page, the index will automatically be updated.

Otherwise I highly recommend the excerpt include macro. You can even include entire pages with the include page macro.

Adding to [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) working with the [Excerpt Macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/) can help your team do wonders. However, you might notice that some functions, particularly when having a lot of these, might be complicated; thus I would also recommend reviewing other options, for example, the [MultiExcerpt](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/169/multiexcerpt?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app, which brings you more functions than the default macro.

Another possibility is [Scaffolding Forms \& Templates](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/190/scaffolding-forms-templates-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), which allows you to have multiple pages based on one main template.

And a third possibility is by using our app; [Navitabs](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28632/navitabs-tabs-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), which allows you to render and display a Tab Navigation based on multiple criteria, including any [existing page](https://bitvoodoo-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NTCLOUD/pages/12178554890/Tab+Wizard#Select-existing-pages). Thus you could elegantly display any page that you desire and organize them it by Tabs.

Hope some of this information is helpful and have a great day!  
Rodrigo
