This error means that during some operation (e.g upgrade or migration) something is wrong / not recognized / not valid in current system.

If you deleted content from UI and something is not recognized already it might still leave some code. Would be good to check the source / storage format of the page.

It was easy on on-prem versions of Confluence to modify source code. On Cloud it might not be possible, so maybe you can only view source and verify if anything suspicious is there?

If not maybe you can copy this source and paste on me page to see how it view after that?

Page Properties Report text no longer wraps. Always shows scoll bars. NEED FIX
Asked by John Fenger:

As of Today. All of our page property reports that have text in them **no longer wrap text but now show scroll bars.**

I see no new setting in th the macro to disable or enable this. This has royally messed up a bunch of meetings we have for status reporting using these pages.

Carriage returns do add second rows.

Create API TOKEN in confluence 6.9.0 Confluence Server
Asked by Tharunkumar B:

Create API TOKEN in confluence 6.9.0 Confluence Server and also How to connect through API TOKEN and where I can findout

Guide and Provide the Steps


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Tharunkumar B](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5302946)

First, note that I am moving your Confluence-specific question to the Confluence Questions forum. You created it in the Jira Software Questions forum.

Second, API tokens are not available for that version of Confluence. They became available with only Data Center version 7.9 and newer.

Reference documentation for working with the Confluence REST API is available here:

How does one transfer ownership of a page from one user to another?
Asked by TK:

What level of administration is required for transferring ownership of a page from one user to another? I am an administrator of a space, but I didn't create the space. Is there some setting I need to request to be activated or turned on by the cloud administrators?


Answers:
author: Laurie Sciutti
body: hello [@TK](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5428014) and welcome to the Community! Page owners can be updated at any time by the **current page owner, space admin or site admin.**

Ref: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/New-Assign-and-transfer-page-ownership/ba-p/2396313>

comments: author: TK
body: Hi Laurie, thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing that option nor are my regular users.


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@TK](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5428014) Are you saying that:

1. There is no **ellipsis** button next to the **Owned by** line in View mode?
2. When you hover over the ellipsis button, you don't see the **Manage page ownership** tooltip?
3. When you click the **ellipsis** button, you don't see the **Change owner** button?

![changePageOwner.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/314546i1487F290A5773FD5/image-dimensions/293x168?v=v2 "changePageOwner.png")

I am the owner of the page I used in this screenshot above.

When I go to a page created by another user in the same Space, I see the same **because I am the Space Administrator**.

When I go to a page in another Space that I have no privileges on and go to a page created by another user, I see a **More details** tooltip on hover and **Created by \<created\> on \<date\>** when I click the ellipsis. I cannot change the ownership because I'm not the page owner, space admin, or site admin.


author: TK
body: [@Barbara Szczesniak](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5187859) Correct, plus I don't see an Owned by. I see Created by on every page. I don't have the Manage page ownership and now I think I know why. I am using Data Center, not Cloud, so my guess is I don't have the same functionality as what you've shared.


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: Well, that would explain it I guess. I did a quick search, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Data Center. You could try searching questions for this to see if anyone else has found a workaround, plug-in, or other way to accomplish this.

Your {{/}} is too far away from the # try {{#lookupPages}}{{/}} to get a count of the pages.

I would assume {{page.url}} is empty because you are doing a CQL search that returns multiple pages.

URL redirect without changing DNS records
Asked by Mike Bell:

We have successfully migrated from our on-prem server environments to the Cloud. We have quite a few pages calling out JIRA tickets on our old on-prem environment that no longer work.

Is there a way to make Confluence redirect those link to the new JIRA cloud instance? I am looking for a way to perform this within the system and **NOT** via DNS.

Our old-on-prem systems were constantly under attack from "bad actors" trying to gain access to our systems. I do not want to redirect all traffic to the old instance to our new instance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Mike Bell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2547703)

Can you clarify the following:

1. Did you migrate both Jira and Confluence to the Cloud?
2. What is the source of the links you are trying to redirect; Confluence on-prem, Confluence Cloud, individuals' saved browser links, or some other source (like another app)?

comments: author: Mike Bell
body: Yes, both Products were migrated from on-prem to cloud.

The links are embedded linked in both Jira and Confluence. The point to Jira tickets originally located on our on-prem Jira. Obviously now, the links still point to the, no longer existing, Jira on-prem instance.

Thanks,

Mike


author: Trudy Claspill
body: If you are trying to update the links in Jira Cloud to point to Confluence Cloud pages, and the links in Confluence Cloud to point to Jira Cloud issues, please refer to these articles:

<https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/update-product-links/>


author: Mike Bell
body: Thanks Trudy. This seems to be the way to go. I have a follow up question...

My prod Confluence instance does not show in Product Links' section, but my dev Confluence instance does. (All Jira does). Any idea about that?


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Is your Confluence production Cloud instance in the same Organization?

Did you migrate the content using the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant? This option works only for Jira and Confluence products where you used the Cloud Migration Assistant to execute the migration.

If you did not use CCMA you will need to contact Atlassian support directly. They can run database scripts directly against your Cloud instance to update the links.

<https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/>


author: Mike Bell
body: Ah gotcha. Yes they are both in the same ORG, but my Prod Confluence was a copy of my Dev Confluence... so not a direct result of the migration assistant.

Jira was the more important one so if I have to open a ticket for Confluence no problem.

Thanks again... you were very helpful.

Does Confluence Charge Readers or Creators?
Asked by Brady Buttrey:

We are trying to figure out if we need to purchase Confluence along with our JSM and are noticing that the price estimators for Confluence ask for the number of users. Are the "users" considered the people that are creating KBAs or both the readers and creators?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Brady Buttrey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5459170)

A Confluence user is anyone with a user account = paid seat.

Implication: **all your users can be creators.**Which is a major advantage against other tools that limit the numbers of creators (and charge an arm and a leg for that).

Confluence was built as collaboration tool not a membership-only club :)

It's up to you (your admin), to determine who can do what. Say you have 100 users/seats. 50 can be creators, 30 can view and comment, 20 can have zero access.

Having said that, there are tools (Confluence apps) that can make your Confluence content available to people (even your employees) who don't have a Confluence seat. For example, you can use [Scroll Viewport by K15t](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) to create an intranet site that would be accessible to anyone using your company SSO. That site would be read-only.

comments: author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Brady Buttrey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5459170)

Adding to this...

You specifically mentioned Confluence in combination with JSM (Jira Service Management).

If you want to use Confluence as a knowledge base for people who are classified in JSM as Customers only, then the Customers don't need licensed user access to Confluence.

Is it possible to extract Confluence Calendar data in excel?
Asked by Marc Ychasmendi:

Is it possible to extract Confluence Calendar team outputs to be used as input for Sprint Planning? As a step further, is it possible to link Confluence to BI platforms such as Amazon QuickSight?  

<br />


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: To answer the 2nd part of your question first, yes, there are many addons to connect to different BI tools. However, a quick search of the Marketplace did not find any for Amazon QuickSight yet.

"Is it possible to extract Confluence Calendar team outputs". I'd say yes, as everything is ultimately possible. I do not know of a quick and easy way to just extract the Calendar entries, but maybe someone else does. My concerns are that there will be some data manipulation needed to get just the bits needed to then import for sprint planning. A brute force method (one of my favorite types of method) would be to create a script to scrape the page for the dates, format as needed then save it as a file to import later.

comments: author: Marc Ychasmendi
body: Thanks [@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/815120) For the quick answer. Would you be able to share the BI tools you were referring to? It would be useful to review then and consider as alternatives for our team.   
As another alternative, we will explore the idea of creating a Script to scrape the page. (Would you have any available script for Confluence that our team could leverage/re-design?) However, when you say "yes" on the extraction question, do you have any specifics on how could we do that? Thanks again.

see colors from "table from CSV"
Asked by Nicolas Goutte:

Hello,  

Is it possible to display color rows and cells from a "Table from CSV"?

I don't see colors I have selected from CSV file in Excel.

Thank you


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Nicolas Goutte](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5418947) ,

The CSV format itself isn't supposed to store colors.

You may save your original file in XLSX format and use the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro to import your file. Then your background colors should stay. Or you may color cells right in the macro.

P.S. As you've mentioned the Table from CSV macro, I suppose that your use our app - [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111).
