Describe the feature you'd like

Drawing inspiration from the current template feature, is it possible to develop a new function that functions as a variable feature? This would enable user to create specific pages as variables and insert them into other pages as needed. For instance, I could create a template for Terms & Conditions or document flow, ensuring that any changes made to these variables are automatically synchronized across all pages. Consequently, whenever I update the variable template, all pages utilizing the variable will be automatically updated with the latest version of its content.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

more convenient, time-saving

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

@racson
Good afternoon. Why was the topic closed? Did you find such functionality? or someone before you created such a request to add this functionality?
I really need this functionality. I read about it, but under a different name, macros in confluence are really what you need when a large knowledge base is planned.
