Tips for Confluence Administrators: Part 2
In Tips for Confluence Administrators: Part 1 We talked about some cases of custom configuration of Confluence, such as
- How to disable attachment downloads?
- How to put an iFrame into Confluence?
- How do I make my page completely private?
- How to prevent a Space Administrator from deleting their Space?
Any software has bugs, and Confluence is no exception.
It will be embarrassing if users come to you for help with some bug and you say you don't know anything about them. As a system administrator, you need to know these existing bugs in advance and take some countermeasures.
The content below is all from the community, I just indexed them. They have a specific version attribution, I am using 7.13.2.
- Restore same name pages from trash should not overwrite the existing page but add a history version
-
As a user I want Saved for later page/tab in Confluence to have the same sorting mechanism
- Copy/paste table cells does not work as expected when header cells are merged
- Confluence allows Page to be renamed to a title that has already existed(and restricted)
- Limited number of users with the same name appeared in the page restriction search
- Can't Copy Table Header
- Duplicated content in pages after running Synchrony Hard Data Removal
- Nested table cannot be resized
-
Support for assigning a task to multiple users
Restore same name pages from trash should not overwrite the existing page but add a history version
I tried to restore a same name page from trash and I saw two options like
- Overwrite the existing Page
- Restore this Page with a new title
I think these two options are good but not good enough. because how about if you want to keep track the change record with one page? So I wish to know weather it is possible to change [Overwrite the existing Page] to [Add a new version to the existing Page ]

As a user I want Saved for later page/tab in Confluence to have the same sorting mechanism
The one on Confluence Dashboard is being sorted based on the date and time where the page is added to the Saved for later list (starred); newest to oldest.
Whilst, the one on the User's Profile page is being sorted based on the pages' pageID (contentid value in the CONTENT table).

Can't Copy Table Header
Users are unable to copy the content of the table headers in Confluence pages. This happens in Google Chrome as well as Firefox.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56411
Duplicated content in pages after running Synchrony Hard Data Removal
When editing a page, the page content, or a subset of the page content is duplicated. This behaviour occurs intermittently without any special actions by the user.

Nested table cannot be resized
Inner table cannot be resized when it is nested in another table
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-54630
Support for assigning a task to multiple users
You can add multiple @mentions to a task in a task list, but the second person does not get a notification in their workbox, and does not see this task in their task list.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-26786
