T'was the day before Christmas and the Admins were busy. Inside it was snowing new issues because part of the network was down. The network is down! What could be the matter? Then came the sound of AWS us-east in a clatter. The DevOps Team sprang to life! Move our instance to another region they demanded in strife! 

First of all @Marjorie thank you for your service! I will say that a trip to Alaska is on par with overseas travel, so you can be an honorary member of that club! I'm with you on DST, I think we should just go back to the more predictable ST and be done with it. The purpose it was created for is no longer served. According…

Well presented and a great recap!

Great feature to add to Jira! Cannot wait to see it live in our instance. 

Winner for most sunlight on a Northern Hemisphere’s winter day! I’d love to get to Australia one day too. I imagine it’s only worth the trip if I stay as long as you were there. ✈️ lag!

@Kishore Atlassian University is a great resource. There are some free 100 level modules that are a great introduction to Jira Software. * .Jira Fundamentals * Get Started with Jira * Jira best practices * Basic Jira Navigation * Jira Reporting Basics Each of these take about 30 minutes and have review sections that help…

@Simon Lachapelle have you set the Space and Global Permissions to allow anonymous access? If you have, have you tested the page by logging out of your Confluence instance and trying to navigate to the URL of the page by pasting it into your browser. If you can access it, then it is public and likely just has not had…

You win for closest proximity! Northern Lights! Yes, that would be amazing. About as far north as I would want to ever venture, but on the 🪣 list. 

@Bill Bailey thanks for sharing! The sun shines bright DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!

So far leading for least sunlight today, hope that you had a bright day regardless!

Looking pretty bleak! Hope you can catch some open air time under an awning or umbrella.

Pardon our Dust! I can complete this one before breakfast! @Monique vdB I LOVE the Kudos program. Gamifying the interaction experience has had me coming back daily to answer questions, complete challenges and contribute to the Community - and by way of exposure learn so much more each day about the products that I use and…

What is the word for retroactive FOMO? ROMO (regret on missing out)? Well, reading through this I have serious ROMO for 2021. After becoming more active in Q4, I see now what 2022 can and will look like and I am PUMPED! Thank you to all of the amazing community leaders, content contributors, writers and collaborators that…

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- congrats on getting the booster! Vitamin D is at a premium by you - very little sunlight today!

@Megan Augustyn you can search under People to see if they have user accounts. Since you are on the Free plan I am going to assume that they do not. If they don't, since Confluence content is locked to your site, you cannot grant page or space access to external users, with the exception of a Public space - but that means…

Templates are either space specific or global. If you created the template in your personal space, or any space, you won't be able to access it elsewhere. IN order to create a Global template, you need to access the tool under the settings menu -> Configuration -> Global Templates and Blueprints. You cannot move an already…

@Megan Augustyn do these individuals have user accounts on your Confluence site? If not, you won't be able to share wit them. If yes, there may be a parent page or space permission that is blocking them from seeing nested content. 

That link could use a refresh. Date is now /// (three backslashes)

One more day until the final goodie drop from this thread...

@Jasmine Andrews welcome to the Dream Team. I also have Confluence dreams, so I can understand your anxiety in not being able to locate this announcement. Perhaps you saw it here? Confluence Holiday Workshop: 7 new features to make your new year merry and bright Hope this is what you were looking for!

Navigate to Settings ->Subscriptions and Billing Under the subscription for this add on it should show you the current status and when the trial expires.

@Gadi Katz are you referring to this Marketplace product? External Share for Confluence If so, there is a cost involved after the trial runs out. The good news is that External Collaboration is a feature coming soon to Premium in case you are looking to upgrade from Standard for more features.…

Here is an excerpt form the business case I wrote when bringing Confluence to my current company, I am pasting here since I think this expresses the benefits very well (if I don't say so myself)! There are also some great resources online from Atlassian you can use to understand the benefits of utilizing Confluence. I'll…

@Christine P. Dela Rosa the more dramatic you can make the name of the meeting or calendar invite, the more likely you’ll stick to it! On the gripe I do agree with you it is more of a self imposed guilt than an implied guilt by my team members or CEO. It is more associated with my own out of whack insecurities of wanting…

Exciting news! Keep us updated on your progress, badges and certifications.

Congratulations to all of the well-deserving winners. Thank you for keeping my appetite peaking the last few weeks as the competition submissions rolled in. 

It's cheesy and a cliché, but 'There is no I in TEAM' is a truth that has always helped pull teams together. I had the opportunity to coach Junior High School Hockey from 2004-2011. There are so many lessons that I learned and used as a coach that are just as applicable in a professional setting as they are for 12-14 year…

[hack] Black out periods on my calendar I started using this tactic to ensure I have a brain break programmed into my day. With the increase of video conference meetings, touch base meetings and my normal cadence of weekly/monthly/quarterly meetings, my calendar started to become a life of running from one appointment to…
