Nils, no. We use them in versioned pages, and multiexcerpt includes render the correct content based on the selected version.

Hi Nazar,
I assume you're storing the multiexcerpts on unversioned pages?
Best,
Nils

Jack, we are using Scroll Versions with multiexcerpts, and they work together just fine.

Hi Jack,
This improvement is about a compatible version for the excerpt-include macro, which we'll most likely ship in one of the next releases.
If you need a "multi-excerpt" functionality, please vote and watch https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-3052 and https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-251.
We're planning to work on the content reuse functionality of Scroll Versions in the next releases. Currently I can't give you an ETA, as we're focusing on Confluence 6.0 compatibility right now.
As soon as there are any news, we'll update the improvements.
Right now every include needs to be stored on a separate page. Further information about reusing content with Scroll Versions can be found in our documentation: https://help.k15t.com/scroll-versions/latest/intro-to-content-re-use-117903896.html
I hope that helps. If you have any further questions regarding missing functionality or want to discuss your use case, please feel free to reach out to us via support@k15t.com.
We'll be happy to help.
Best,
Nils

Are there any updates on this issue?
We are currently trialing Scroll Versions and the ability to utilize multi-excerpt functionality in relation to scroll versions is a key driver of whether we will decide to move forward with the plugin.
A bit more information: The excerpt include works, if you have unmanaged pages on both ends. If you have different page versions, this works if the excerpt include references the "currently published" page, and if itself has been published too.
Original content:
When you place an Excerpt-Include macro on a page, the source Excerpt is not displayed.
If you do not select "Remove panel", the panel displays the source Page Title.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Highlight any content on any page and insert the Excerpt macro.
2. Open a different page and insert the Excerpt-include macro pointing to the source page.
3. Click Save.
Note that the Excerpt source content is missing.
