Personal space Content tree Smart links not working for other Confluence pages

[Mark Mac Donnell]

I have a series of Smart links in the content tree of my personal space which link to my company's Confluence pages. I use this as a sort of index, and also use it to create Quick Fix tools that collocate related materials that are dispersed across Confluence Spaces.

Until recently, this all worked fine. Now, however, when I click the Content Tree Smart Links I am presented with the iFramely "not logged in" page, not the content. Kind of funny since, by being in my personal space I must be logged into the company space.

Other smart links and iframes are not affected. This is only the content tree. Is there a setting or work-around I'm missing?

Hi @Mark Mac Donnell ,

This looks like a recent change in how Smart Links inside the Content Tree handle authentication. The “not logged in” message usually means the link is being treated as an embed (via iFramely), not as a direct Confluence link.

One quick check: if you paste the same link directly on a page (outside the Content Tree), does it open normally? If yes, then it’s specific to how the Content Tree macro renders Smart Links, and not something you can fix with a setting.

At this point it may be a bug or a limitation that appeared recently — I’d suggest raising a ticket with Atlassian Support so they can confirm if it’s expected behavior or an issue.
