The settings icon is not visible. Help!

[stephany.brenda]

I'm a novice and was playing around with page styles.

It's a server. and it's the settings cog wheel which was at the bottom left.  There isn't one ont he top right. 

 I'm struggling to try and upload a screenshot.  Will try and find someone to help me.

Hi Stephany,

To upload a screen shot you can edit the page and then just drag and drop the file from the file system. That will attach it to the page.

Thanks,

Ann

Oh, you wanted to upload a screen shot to the forum - I thought you meant to the  Confluence page. If your page looks like that because you made changes to the layout, go back to a page where you can access the spaces menu.

Access the spaces menu and choose the affected space.

The space key will be revealed in the URL, on this URL the space key is "ds":

• <Base_URL>/display/ds/Welcome+back+to+Confluence

Then you can get back to the space tools without the cog wheel by going to the URL:

• <Base_URL>/spaces/viewstylesheet.action?key=ds (use your space key instead)

After you access the space tools you can reverse the changes that obscured the cog wheel

Thanks, was able to fix it!

Oh good! Did you have to use the direct URL to the stylesheet or did you come up with a different workaround?

[stephany.brenda]

Used the direct URL (actually my IT co-worker did!)  I shared your instructions.

Hi Stephany,

Was this server or Cloud Confluence? Also, is it the space settings in Cloud that cannot be found or the admin cog wheel at the top right on a Server installation? Please upload a screenshot of the missing settings icon.

What did you do to the page style to hide the settings button?

Thanks,

Ann
