Hi I am on confluence 4.3.2 and when in our confluence we have two user directories, 1. Microsoft AD and 2. Internal Now when i am creating a user on confluence i expect confluence to ask me (or have a field) for me to select which user directory i want to use , but it does not. I know on jira 6.1 we have this feature, you can explicitly tell jira which user directory to use for creating the user. How can i get round this issue on confluence? Rahul

Confluence does not ask which User directory to use

Roll back to old editor?

Hi Founders,

Regarding : https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Why-are-the-toolbar-formatting-options-for-Overviews-and-Pages/qaq-p/1072778

I don't want ANY of this.

If I want to edit a website I will use WordPress.

When doing Wiki I want the OLD editing experience.

I do NOT want fixed-width tables, which require me to spend effort on layout.

I do want the old data-width tables, so I can just CREATE the 1x1 table, paste the data I had prepared in Excel, and save the page.

The new experience is shit for Wiki users. Please immediately revert Confluence Cloud instances, and then provide the option to exploit new/old experiences. Or, even better, just remove the "new" experience altogether.

Same site, different pages, same content pasted from exactly the same Excel workbook.

How can I get tables to look like the bottom one (auto_suppliers) when working with the "New" Editor Experience (auto_suppliers_fullwidth)?

Is it time for a new Wiki?

I'm hugely unimpressed.

Kind regards, Robin.

Hello,

EDITED 2/2/2021 (since this seems to be still unclear):

Let me try to summarize what's been already written to everyone else asking the same question in here:

Most of the instances still have the old editor enabled. You just have to choose the legacy editor page template:
In case you don't have the legacy editor template then:
- If you are site admin and you are on a standard plan you can create a support request in order to ask to have the old editor enabled: https://support.atlassian.com/contact
- If you are on a free plan you can create a new thread here in the community asking to have the old editor enabled for you and we will open a support request on your behalf.

For more details, please see: How we roll out the new editor in Confluence

I hope this helps.

Hi Rahul.

The correct feature request is CONF-22296. as the one Rodrigo raised is a duplicate.

At the moment Confluence creates the user in the Directory with the highest priority (listed first in the list of directories). As a workaround, you could put the user directory you want to create the user in the first position before you create the user. Please be aware this may affect the user directory a user authenticate against if the user is present in multiple user directories.

Hi Rahul,

Indeed, confluence doesn't ask in which user directory you'd like to create the user within while jira does this.

I've created a feature request for you here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-34433

I recommend to vote and ask your colleagues to vote as well to increase popularity and the chance to be implemented in the future.

Cheers,

Rodrigo
