Project summary/background
In preparation for system migration, we would like to do a full scan of all of our documentation pages in Confluence. This project involves checking each page in the TS documentation site and recording some basic info about that page in a spreadsheet.
Project instructions
Open this spreadsheet in Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10YHRfCi5UPFRn_-1BHUp3pdg9vJmYJmMJbHzUtwWB8o/edit#gid=0
Open the TS Documentation site
Note any entries already in the spreadsheet.
In the TS site, begin at the next page in sequence, moving from the top down in the navigation menu.
Include top-level pages like “Authorities,” “Cataloging,” “Database quality,” etc. Even though these pages gather lists of procedures and are more navigational than instructional, we still want their info.
Briefly look over the page and fill out the columns as indicated.
The Status column has a dropdown list of values for you to choose from:
current (info looks accurate, no former staff mentioned, has a recent updated date in the column on the right side, etc.)
needs work (may have “needs work” tag, has clearly outdated content, has warning boxes about incomplete info, etc.)
placeholder (will be a blank or stub page, often with “placeholder” in the title)
Rinse and repeat!
Appropriate for any TS staff.
