Data missing from VIP article
Asked by sandi.tognolini:

Hi guys,

I'm editing an vip large article in Confluence. Everything was fine but then it's saved unpublished changes! When you view the article the table is there, but when you click into Edit the table is gone. This table is our source of truth for customer service and is vital to our operation, please help!

body: Hello [@sandi.tognolini](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4148600)!

If you created changes (unpublished changes) that removed essential content but did not publish it you can select to "Revert to last published version".

You can do it by following this:
> 1. *Go to the desired page*
> 2. *Click to edit*
> 3. *Click the three dots at the top right corner*
> 4. *Select to "Revert to last published version"*

keeping data in Europe while using Confluence Cloud

Depending on the location of signup the instance will be provisioned to the closest Datacenter. So if you signed up the instance in Europe most likely it should be in Germany or Ireland Datacenter. Atlassian won't basically shift your data to a different datacenter unless a request is initiated by a site-admin or technical contact. However it would [optimise](https://www.atlassian.com/trust/reliability/infrastructure) the data based on where the most usage comes from.

How to determine single place for creating an announcement?
Asked by Gerard Vaz:

Trying to determine if is possible to create a single announcement that can reach the user community without having to create multiple different items such as announcements, blog, calendar, etc.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Gerard, welcome to the Community!

I'd suggest creating a blog and sharing it with an email distribution list (like "staff@yourcompany.com") for items you'd like everyone to be aware of.

There's also the possibility of using a banner (I'd suggest linking to a blog post in the banner message if it's more than a sentence or two, or if there's further information available for people interested in the announcement. You can do that in Confluence Server by:

* [Adding a site-wide banner](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-add-a-site-wide-banner-165609599.html) with custom HTML in out-of-the-box Confluence
* [Using the free Announcement Banner for Confluence app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217921/announcement-banner-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) which simplifies adding/removing a banner, and lets you easily configure a start/end date for its display

Restrict who can setup anonymous access for spaces
Asked by Kashyap K:

Confluence at our organization is publicly available but is only made accessible to employees within the org. We want to publish documentation and make it anonymously accessible. To do this, I understand that this can be done by completing the following steps;

1. Confluence administrator must turn on global permissions for anonymous access.
2. Space administrator must turn on anonymous access for the corresponding space.

The problem with above approach is that once we make users as space administrators, confluence administrators have no control over restricting which spaces are being made anonymous.

My question is, as a Confluence-administrator, is there a way to restrict the controls in such a way that only confluence administrators can enable anonymous access for individual spaces? We would want the space-administrator to still be able to do everything that Confluence provides for space privileges, except enabling anonymous access to a space.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, space admins get the right to grant "anonymous" access to their spaces.

Confluence admins do have the same rights as a space admin in a space automatically, so your Confluence admins can remove it if necessary, but the space admin rights are not granular, you're either a space admin or not.

Tool for protoyping not code, but hypertext / page structure?
Asked by Patrick O_Connell:

Hey folks,

Haven't posted here since...well, it's been a while.

I've been involved in a few reorganizations of one Confluence workspace, but on the horizon is my boss wanting me to merge at least 2, and maybe 3. Gulp!

What I've done for the single-space reorgs is basically replicate the existing structure in my personal workspace. With modifications, obviously. And if everything below a given page won't change in the new version, just saying "and child pages / and descendant pages," and not replicating the whole substructure.

And even with the Word-doc-headings-to-page-structure import thing, I can't see proposing a merging of 2 or 3 spaces in this way.

So. I've been Googling. There are *all kinds* of prototyping tools out there, but for apps! For code!

I don't need that. I just need to be able to map out a new page structure, show it my boss, ask others to review it, that kind of thing.

Suggestions?

Thank you,

I have not been aware of dev versions. Perhaps one thing I should have mentioned is that we're theoretically upgrading to 7.4.x soon, but currently on 6.9.0. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Unless, by that, you mean staging versions? This is about our 4th start at trying to upgrade, and I've been the tester each time. The new version is always put on a staging server.

Changing icon size/images in Confluence cloud
Asked by Robin Junghans:

Hi everyone,

while creating my confluence page, I wanted to include icons/images to structure the information. Unfortunately, I cannot change the size of the icon by moving the mouse after clicking on the sidebars, as you can see on the screenshot.

Can you tell me if and how it is possible to reduce the size of images and icons?

Thanks and best regards

author: Diego
body: Hello [@Robin Junghans](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3692302)!

I was unable to replicate this behavior. I can resize the image up until it reaches the size of the table column itself. Here is what I see:

With this in mind, I want to ask a few questions. Here we go:
> 1. *What browser were you using when this happened?*
> 2. *Is this happening with images outside tables?*
> 3. *Are you still able to replicate this with any image?*

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Robin Junghans
body: Hi Diego,

thanks for your reply.

I use Chrome for working with Confluence Cloud. Also, the problem occurs outside of tables. When I drag images to Confluence they first appear in normal size and when I try to reduce the size, they jump to maximum. After deleting and re-adding them it seems to work but is it possible to reduce the size even more than on your screen recording?

Best regards

Chart Macro - Line Chart With Dates for X and Y Axis
Asked by Lakmal Padmakumara:

Hi,

Thanks everyone for your attention on my issue.

I'm using following table to generate a chart

![Capture.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116910i167E9DA1568CB27A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

Basic idea is to track the delivery estimations for multiple projects over time.

This is the generated chart. As you can see my project 1, project 2 columns are not picked up as date values rather decimal values.

**Is it even possible in line chart options to have a date value y axis ?**

<br />

It seems that there are no line charts with both X and Y date scales.

For similar purposes (to track multiple projects and their milestones) try to use a Gantt chart.

You'll be able to find its simple version in the standard Chart macro or a more advanced one in the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Gantt+chart+type) macro provided by the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

comments: author: Lakmal Padmakumara
body: Thanks for your answer. I'm not so sure whether gantt chart is the right match for my use case. Use case is to see how often are our delivery estimations are deviating.   

It's unfortunate that we cannot configure the type of the y axis to a date.

Save Web-Image as local File
Asked by Leonard Schn?cker:

Hello,

i have the problem if i make on google-image right click and copy image, then paste it directly into the editor, confluence automatic links it to it orginal web-page.

After a while those images will change or move and my confluence page is empty.

How can i turn that off or say that it should save it locally? (Like when i drag and drop a image from my local pc.)


Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: [@Leonard Schn?cker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3157110)

Thank you for the detailed reply.

With custom additional functionality almost all is possible - it depends on how you get this feature. I did not find such an add-on on Atlassian Marketplace (jut [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218926/remote-content-website-pdf-image?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218926/remote-content-website-pdf-image?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) that is for Confluence Cloud and seems to work just like iFrame - not physically attaching images).

So, the main options are:

1. Write **User Macro** (usually for simpler functionality as it is had to maintain code in such a way)
2. Write **add-on** for Confluence Server with these features
3. Try to use some Web Crawler (or browser automation tools like **Selenium** ) to save all web images you need from an external site automatically to a local machine folder and then use a tool like [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?hosting=server&tab=overview) to auto-import images as attachments - this tool is very powerful for automatic operations with content including loading content from local PC to Confluence

This is all I can suggest from my side, I suppose.

Thank you

body: Thats is really sad, because i cant work like that if my stuff keeps getting away.

If i use confluence, than it is to write pages where is no german tranlsation or make simple tutorials (And not where you need be Programmer to use a End-User-Interface)and use simple images like of black cable,computer ports, and stuff like that.

I know this web based but you can right click --\> copy and paste into paint too, atleast i want option where i could say convert all web images to local images.

And please dont tell me "there is no way", maybe it's possible to suggest this as feature? You can do it atleas on server-side with simple code.


author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Leonard Schn?cker](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3157110) .

There is no automatic way to convert link to Web image to attachment in Confluence.

You can just save the image to your local machine as file and then add it to the page as attachment (via Attachments menu or just drag and drop in editing page).

Please consider Copyrights and Privacy policies of images.

Check the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) app.

It provides the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros that collect tables *(and multi-row tables as well!)* within
