How to export Page Tree with Creation Date and Author?
Asked by Chris Lucas:

I am looking to generate a report containing a hierarchical Page Tree (not the contents) for a Confluence space together with the page creation date and author of each page.

Easy enough to copy the Page Tree, but stuck on a solution to capture additional metadata for each page within the space apart from simply providing a link.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

body: Hello [@Chris Lucas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1711014) !

What you are looking for can be achieved via User Macros in Confluence Server, which seems to be the platform you are currently using.

The following user macro will display the Creator and Creation date of the page where it is placed:

```
<div class="aui-message aui-message-info">
$content.getCreatorName()
$action.dateFormatter.formatGivenString("yyyy-MM-dd", $content.getCreationDate()) 
</div>
```

The ++*dateFormatter method is used to format the date*++ , it is not needed for the final product. ++*The getCreatorName and getCreationDate methods are the essential ones*++. One gets the name of the page creator and the other the creation date, respectively.

Now that this User Macro has given a general idea of how this works, we can take a look at this thread where a pretty similar request was made:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] How do I list all pages with titles and, last modified by and updated date based on labels for a specific time period](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-list-all-pages-with-titles-and-last-modified-by-and/qaq-p/41974)***++

The macro above is much more complex than the one used here as example. If you need some insight on User Macros, you can take a look here:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Server Developer\] Confluence User Macro Guide](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-user-macro-guide/)***++
> * [++***\[Confluence Server\] Writing User Macros***++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html)

There is also the++*possibility of using third-party applications*++. One of them shows up in another similar thread here in the Community:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] Get a list of pages with created and modified dates?](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Get-a-list-of-pages-with-created-and-modified-dates/qaq-p/905919)***++

The application used as base for the solution above is the ++*Confluence Command Line Interface:*++
> * ++***[\[Bob Swift\]Command Line Interface](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/10584066/Examples)***++

I hope this shines some light into the situation! Looking forward to your reply.

I'd like to know more about your problem. I noticed that you also logged a ticket with support about your page changes not saving. It appears that issue is no longer occurring.

Could you tell me, is this issue also not re-occurring? If it is, could you tell me if many of your users are encountering the same problem, and what version of Confluence Server you're running?

Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you!

what is the limit of my server
Asked by Francoise DUCLOS:

My space contains 1700 pages, I wonder if it could be a good idea to split it ? In fact I'l looking for good pratices for the size of my Confluence server

Answers:
author: DPKJ
body: [@Francoise DUCLOS](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3443995)This is very open ended question, here are some of my opinions that have helped me,

1. Confluence doesn't have any hard limit on number of pages in space or site.
2. It is always a great idea to split/categorize content on Confluence,
   1. It improves search performance per space (drastic sometimes)
   2. Content is easily navigable.
3. As long as you add resources to your Confluence server, you are good to go.

Inserting an info panel a numeric listing destroys the number series
Asked by Alexander Busch:

I am working on a "How To" article and have a numeric list of actions. At one point I want to emphasise an important point inserting an info panel. But the moment I insert this it cuts off my numeric list. After the info panel the numbering starts with 1 again. Although it ought to be no. 5 of the list.

How do I get the info panel back in line of the numeric list?

As a workaround it is described:

Unable to delete a personal space
Asked by Samantha Stratton:

As a confluence administrator, I should be able to delete personal spaces that are no longer needed. However, the delete button is not shown under the space settings.

Is there any other place to go to delete personal spaces?

We have tried using the format:

[https://YOURINSTANCENAME.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/removespace.action?key=\*SPACEKEY\*](https://YOURINSTANCENAME.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/removespace.action?key=*SPACEKEY*)

However, this still shows a page that states there is restricted access.

**Third option, my personal suggestion:**

Are you administrator of this space. Perhaps, there is a bug, which prevent the site admins to delete the space. But you can make you as a space admin and perhaps then you can delete the personal space.

Perhaps, one of those suggestions works.

Confluence - Excel collaborative editing plugins
Asked by Sadath Ali Syed:

Can someone help us with Excel collaborative editing plugin. We are looking for options besides Excellentable. Any products that are similar to Excellentable?


Answers:
author: Natalie Paramonova [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Sadath Ali Syed](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3741278) ,

What features would you like to have?

You can try [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview&utm_source=community). The app allows to [filter table data](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro), build [pivot tables](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) and [charts](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro), [perform any kind of calculations](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro).

The app works with all kinds of tables: manually created, outputted by different macros and apps. For example, you can attach an Excel file, display it with the help of the default Office Excel macro and then process this table with the help of Table Filter and Charts.

If you tell me what features you use while collaborative editing tables, I'll give you more detailed information.

How to show or hide space categories based on user access to space
Asked by Seweryn Szatkowski:

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to hide/show categories based on user access to spaces.

I have found a way to hide categories for users who are not in certain group:

    #if ($userAccessor.hasMembership('confluence-administrators',    $helper.action.remoteUser.name))#else<script type="text/javascript">AJS.toInit(function(){    AJS.$('#space-labels-list').hide();    AJS.$('.aui-nav-heading').hide();});</script>#end

Above solution was posted here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Hide-categories-in-Confluence-page/qaq-p/1169745>  

But do you know how to hide/show categories based on user access to certain space?

Example:

Space name: A,  
Category: nameA  
Access: only to userA  

Space name: B,  
Category: nameB  
Access: only to userB  

And now if I'am userA I want to see only category nameA because I have an access to space A and if I'am userB I want to see only category nameB because I have an access to space B.

Is there a way to do that using Layouts and by modifying above script?  

Regards

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Seweryn Szatkowski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879292) !

As I understand, you need to hide or show labels within spaces based on user permissions inside Confluence.

If the above is correct, I am unaware on how to proceed with this.

However, if we are talking about actually hiding pages from users who are part of an specific group, we can use page restrictions for this purpose:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Server\] Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html)***++

You would need to include who can see the content in the restrictions. For example:
> 1. *Create page-00*
> 2. *Put it under categoryA*
> 3. *Restrict access solely to categoryA members in restrictions*
> 4. *Create page-01*
> 5. *Put it under categoryB*
> 6. *Restrict access solely to categoryB members in restrictions*

Now only members of categoryA can see the page under categoryA, no one else. The same goes for categoryB.

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Seweryn Szatkowski
body: Hello [@Diego](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952)

Thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately it will not help me because my case is to hide space ++categories++ from users who do not have access to spaces under this categories.

I know how to restrict access for pages or spaces but right now even if I restrict access to space for particular group of users, others will be able to see this page category. It is problematic when I use client names as categories and I don't want clients to see each other.

This case is well described in this question:   
<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Hide-Confluence-Categories/qaq-p/656762>  

Also there is an open issue for that feature here:

Add inline data on new custom column on poge property report
Asked by Matan Gez:

Hi!

We are looking for a way to create an expanded table from the page property report that will contain the values of each page, but allow us to add inline columns such as status, execution date and assignee.

The pages contains instructions and data that is not changed usually but we want to use it to create a monthly check-list.

Do you have any idea how to achieve it?

Thanks a lot

As far as I know, there is no ability for adding columns inline to the Page Properties Report.

But with the help of the[Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community) app, you can add statuses that you can switch from the predefined list in the page view mode. When the [Handy Status](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/Handy+Macros+app%27s+Guide+for+Cloud?utm_source=community) macro is added to the Page Properties macros, you can switch them right from Page Properties Report.

comments: author: Matan Gez
body: Thank you for your fast reply.

It looks like an awesome partial solution, for the different annoying issue of needing to change to edit mode to change status but we are still looking for a way to write text, date and assignee in our page property reports.

SharePoint or Confluence
Asked by Craig Barrett:

Hi all, I have a simple question as I am a newbie. Our company is thinking of moving to SharePoint from OneDrive to store all our files/docs. This relates to marketing, sales, functional specs, test scripts, user guides, etc.

We are looking for basic document management with a folder structure similar to Windows Explorer that everyone in the company can access.

Is Confluence not the right tool for this? I was hoping to use Confluence only without moving to SharePoint. We also have Jira however lets not focus on that right now.

Am I expecting too much from Confluence? I understand it was not designed as a document repository.

I was thinking that using Pages/Page Trees/Labels I could possibly build a structure.

regards, Craig Barrett


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: My impression is:

If all your documents are native Confluence pages, you can use Confluence.

If many of your documents are pdf, word, ... , then I think Confluence might not be the easiest tool to use. In Confluence, you'd need to attach the external pdf to a Confluence page. That involves many clicks, and it's hard to track attachment versions in an intuitive way.

Can I share documents with external users?
Asked by Fleur.deVries:

Is there a way to share documents with external users (customers) without creating a license for them?


Answers:
author: JimmyVanAU
body: Hi Fleur,

Welcome to the community.

There are two ways to do this. The first is to create a public space so that all users on the internet, including your customers, can access the content. Note that your Confluence instance will also need to have anonymous access enabled, so you should audit all of your other spaces before allowing anonymous access.

If this is not an option, then it is worthwhile having a look at the External Share for Confluence ([https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220562/external-share-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220562/external-share-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)) marketplace app to solve your problem.


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Fleur.deVries](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3650929)

2. Make the space public for everyone ([Grant anonymous access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/setting-up-public-access-934718729.html))
