Hi @Iro Karavasili, The only workaround I could imagine is using some javascript. Navigate to the Administration Console > Custom HTML and edit the At end of the body section. Here you can add custom JS to implement your requirement. For example you could use <script> if (sessionStorage.getItem(window.location)) {…

Hi @Fionn Mcknight, The urls you are posting look like links to heading names as Confluence constructs them. In general this approach is likely to break when renaming pages or the headings itself. What @Bill Bailey is refering to is another mechanism of dealing with links to headings using the anchor macro. You will need…

Hi @Kateryna Novozhylova, When working in large versioned spaces containing many pages, you might notice small performance decreases affecting the page tree's rendering time. There are a number of ways you can tune Confluence's cache to help solve this issue. Please refer to the following article for details. This will…

Same for me.

Hi Jay, this issue is most likely related to the way the macro outputs the data. In general all PDF exporters available for Confluence have the problem to render dynamic html - html generated using JavaScript in the frontend of the user - as exports are generated in the backend by the server which is not able to render…

Hi @Samuel_Roberts, I guess the browser console reports an error like: Refused to display 'https://XXXX.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XXXX' in a frame because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self'". The only workaround that I am aware of is to use the Confluence REST API…

Hi @Víctor Ayllón, If you know how to develop a simple confluence app the web resource plugin module could help you >> https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/web-resource-plugin-module/ If you define a web resource with context alt.general (loaded everywhere except administration screen) and define…

Hi Nigel, If you want to report on this I propose to use SQL queries. In general the data you want to report on is available as there are UIs for it in Confluence. E.g. space overview, first revision of pages in the page history as well as the global audit log. However the report is limited to what is stored in the DB. So…

Hi, In Confluence you have to differentiate between "view" and "edit" restrictions on pages. While "view" restrictions are inherited, "edit" restriction are not and only apply to the page you set them. I assume that you talk about "view" restrictions.... there is no way to grant view access to child pages if you do not…

Please note - although this is a valid solution you should consider export scenarios as well... the button/link is considered as content too and will be part of your e.g. PDF.

Hi Chela, Providing checklists for different users sounds great. Unfortunately "checkboxes" which usually are called "tasks" in Confluence work a little bit different. These are considered to be one time actions and usually assigned to users. However a nice workaround would be to create your checklist as a template (either…

Hi Seema, Here is the corresponding Atlassian doc for "How to disable a user" in Confluence. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/delete-or-disable-users-138318.html Please note that depending on the user user directory this might be different (see last paragraphs of the article). Best, Tobias

Hi Bandy, The simple workflow in Scroll Versions is used to track the state of the page content. It is a tooling to support your QA process and has only limited impact in publishing scenarios. 1) If you use Scroll Viewport to visualize different versions of a Scroll Versions space the workflow has no impact - all pages of…

Hi Sander, A first point to start is to execute the log scanner in the support tools section of Confluence. This will analyse the log files for exceptions and known issues. Sometimes fixing these will already solve the problem. It it pretty unusual that Confluence just "stops" working without anything in the logs... If you…

Hi Ameer, A documentation of the different kind of user directories (explaining the terms) can be found at https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-user-directories-229838212.html Depending on the directories and their order used before there might be problems... The best is to check the order of the directories…

Hi, Although you solved the issue by renaming the file please run the character encoding troubleshooting guide at https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/troubleshooting-character-encodings-167194.html This will help you identify if the problem is related to your setup and save you time in the future running into the same or…

Hi Zun Li, Looks like your server is dealing with GC (garbage collection) – referring to the log timestamps a little bit more than 6sec. A good resource to learn how to tweak your GC is available here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/garbage-collection-gc-tuning-guide-461504616.html Furthermore please check if…

Hi Boris, Unfortunately there is no way do get a order which reflects the page tree. By default the table will sort by last modified date, however you can also sort it by any property listed in the report. Best, Tobias

As Thomas said > "Space Settings" > "Content Tools" > "Reorder Pages"

Hi Nitin, When you talking about exporting from Confluence to cloud – what does cloud mean a) Confluence Cloud by Atlassian b) Confluence Server hosted in the Cloud by your own c) static HTML d) something totally different Best, Tobias

Hi Peter, On a page click on the "..." menu then click on "View in Hierarchy". If you can't see this entry I assume the permissions on the space level are not appropriate. If you also can't see "Space Tools" > "Permissions" you have to recover the permissions in the Site Administration > Space Permissions section. Best,…

Thanks for bringing this up - for me it also sounds like Scroll Versions will solve that issue for you as you can * manage multiple versions of your docs in one space * create variants of your docs Regarding the branching requirement - this can be solved by a branched version tree or using variants / conditional…

Can you describe your use case / goal in more detail? 

I agree to Nic that this works around all the privacy and security considerations built into Confluence. However there is a supported workaround ... * enable anonymous access to your system * enable anonymous view access in all spaces * add a view restriction to the home page and all top-level pages which actually is a 1:1…

Hi, I totally agree to Jan-Peter. For its own Confluence is already an awesome product and supports so many use cases. However using apps from the Atlassian Marketplace will extend it even further – either by supporting new use cases or adding missing functionality for a vertical. Referring to your question - sure there is…

Hi Nitin, If your use case is limited to archiving I would propose to use the default space XML export here as it contains all the data and can be recovered. Anything else - not matter if you are using an commercial app or not e.g. to export the space to html and have it offline accessible - will not contain all data. E.g.…

Hi Klara, I would also try re-indexing first. An article can be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html However please note that during re-index the search index is not available. If this is a production system you might want to do it in non-production hours. Best, Tobias

Hi Simon, As far as I understood you want to register a handler for e.g. ".foo" files right? I am just asking as there is also the concept of a custom content type which can be added to a page similar than an attachment. As far as I know there is no way to register your own handler which integrates into the preview of…

Hi, I usually tend to wait for a x.x.1 or x.x.2 release before using it. However there is also a concept of Enterprise releases which bring some benefits but usually are a little bit behind the regular releases: https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/atlassian-enterprise-releases-948227420.html Best, Tobias
