Are there any plans to allow us to add custom metadata to pages and templates that could be pull into Jira, Database or Whiteboards? This would allow for killer reporting capabilities. 

Hi Atlassian, We’re currently trialling Rovo and had a question about content controls. Tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini restrict what users can ask based on policies defined by the provider. While we appreciate that Rovo already respects user permissions, we’re interested in whether it’s possible to additionally restrict…

I've created a Database page and I'm connecting to Confluence to pull a list of pages into the database. How on earth do we filter the table using the search box? Nothing seems to work. I tried using CQL such as label = 'test' and copying and pasting link from the Confluence Search Engine but it pulls every page into the…

Hi there, Over the years, I’ve helped set up spaces for various teams. Since Atlassian introduced the new Space page in the admin area, I’ve noticed I’m now listed as the owner for most of them. I’ve recently changed roles, so I’d prefer not to have my name showing as the owner anymore. I understand I’ll need to update the…

We can have a page on our Confluence environment which has over 30 images and PDF attachments. 10 of those for example might no be shown on the page any more because they have replaced with a file using a different name. How can we locate all unused attachments? Is there a select SQL we can execute which can help us find…

Before I explain my question, please note that this topic isn’t meant to advertise plugins on the Atlassian Marketplace. Confluence currently provides a space archiving feature in the space tool settings, which places the archived space into an “Archive” tab within the space directory. This seems rather limited, as there…

Hi Atlassian, I'm beginning to lose count of all the security notices we get from Atlassian. One minute we're being told to patch to this version, the next minute we're being told to patch to that version and now its getting to the point we have no clue what the correct version contains the fix. They are high risk and…

While I was searching through Confluence trying to look for a better alternative to the slow, painful and out dated page property widget, my search was answered. I'm not sure others know about this hidden feature but I thought I would share this with an article. Why is there nothing online about lists? You can use the…

Morning, I noticed there is a new Automation Trigger for when Data Classification is updated. When I click Learn More, I notice you need to be part of the beta programme. Where or how do I enable this to test out the feature? We've been waiting for this for so long, we're eager to it out. Also, is this going to be…

Someone has renamed a space without sign-off from the space owner. Is it possible to find out who it was via the audit logs or database select statement?

Having app permissions appear in the individual user permissions tab is confusing a lot of space owners. Is there a way to hide them? I'm surprised there isn't a dedicated app permissions tab.

Does anyone else think the new edit mode for Confluence Cloud takes up a lot of space for teams to create content? It might not seem much, but when you're editing large documents which is using a lot of tables, images and macros, you notice how much of a pain it is. I've logged a ticket with Atlassian to see if they can…

Hi there, I want to add variables to all our custom built templates which prompts the page creator to select an option: * Public * Internal Use * Restricted * Confidential Is it possible to maybe set it up so that when the user selects one of the options, it adds a new label to that page with that selection? Say they…

Hi Atlassian, I was just wondering when the 'Create from Template' macro is getting a new update? I've been waiting for so long but nothing has changed. Its one of the most used macros in our environment. Wishlist: * Would be good if we can toggle the button on and off within the macro. It's so important our teams are…

Hi there, I was recently asked to provide figures based on the total number of pages created last month. I used the search engine to filter Created Date Last Month and Type Page: The results showed 1175. Does that number include or exclude pages I'm restricted to see? I need a way to provide accurate stats to our…

One of our departments have created a bunch of user macros created over the last 7 years for their work. What will happen to those pages when we move everything to the cloud?

I'm looking forward to start using Confluence Cloud soon to start using their automation tools. I was interested to know what can you do with it?

Hi there, I'm hoping to start a discussion to talk about what your thoughts are around the Confluence Cloud sidebar. A lot of the feedback we get about the sidebar is negative as it contains a lot of irrelevant noise. Our engineers get frustrated about having to scroll down to reach the page links they need: Now I know…

Is there any way to find out how many page edits and newly created pages our Confluence site gets per month? Is this something that can be done using an API get request? We aren't in a position to install new 3rd party plugins so any help without purchasing any new tools would be really helpful.

Hi guys I was wondering if there is a solution to adding the PageID and creator to the PDF footer whenever someone exports a page?

Recently I've been wondering how does everyone keep the content of their site up to date and duplicate free? We have a large instance with documents in their tens of thousands, with a large bulk of them being over 12 months old. I don't think I would have any sucess if I was to approach a user with 800 pages and say that…

Someone restricted a page without letting anyone know first, is there any way to find out who did this? The space admin decided to give everyone restriction rights.

Morning and happy new year everyone, I thought I would create an article to share how I go about keeping the content published on our Confluence site organised and relevant. I appreciate this method might not work for everyone but I'm hoping it will help some of you who are just starting out using the application. Since…

Has anyone figured out yet how to get the Page Properties to appear in the Page Properties Report when adding the markup to the Comala Document Management header?

Hi there, Our Confluence system is forever expanding and we need to keep an eye on the future growth to ensure we keep it as efficient as possible for the users. We have 48 global spaces and 78 personal spaces. Does both the global and personal space have an impact on the system performance? Many thanks M.

Hi there, We are using the Comala Document Management tool. When our page authors change the parameters to update the approver list, this won't update unless we change the page status. Does anyone know how to fix this? Workflow: Draft -> Technical -> Owner -> Live Example: While the page is in the Owner status, the Page…

I have been a Confluence administrator for a large organisation for 5 years. I was hired to tidy up their huge environment which they have been using for many years. When the environment was first installed, many of the plugins on the Atlassian Marketplace was free, The engineer installed a handful of those tools to meet…

A user profile can't be found on our Confluence even though their account is still active. A simple rebuild of the site index will quickly fix this problem. Do I really need to reboot Confluence to do this?…
