body: Hello all,

I'm providing an official update on this question to clarify our current process.

It's not always possible to add the Legacy editor to your Cloud site, so the support team will need to confirm this on a site-by-site basis.

If you require the Legacy template, paid admins can raise a ticket via [support.atlassian.com](https://support.atlassian.com/contact). If you are a Cloud Free admin, you can accomplish this by creating a new question on Community with your admin account requesting the same. The Community Support team will be alerted, and then we can assist you with that process.

Thanks again, and take care!

Shannon

The legacy editor template can be enabled for your site at any time.Most sites currently have the legacy editor template enabled. If your site falls within the small percentage of sites that do not, please reach out to Support for more information about enabling the legacy template.

author: Ture Hoefner
body: I just signed up for a new Cloud dev instance, it's an emergency because a Confluence bug trashed my last instance. That's a long story and a different topic. Let's just say that I need a new dev instance and I need it right now.

So I signed up for a new one and it defaults to not letting me create legacy pages.

This was an emergency. It's too late now, the damage is done. I don't have time to get support to fix my instance.

Please stop making it so hard to create legacy pages.

Please don't default to not having legacy page creation available on new dev instances.

How do you add a new Gliffy on Confluence cloud?
Asked by William Rutledge:

We currently have the free Confluence subscription and would like to be able to create Gliffy diagrams in the page. How do i go about doing this activity. I don't see the ability in my edit features to do this task.


Answers:
author: Samie Kaufman - Your Gal at Gliffy
body: Hi William!  

Have you activated your [free trial](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/254/gliffy-diagrams-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) of Gliffy yet? If you've already got that started, you should be able to use the "/gliffy" command to add a gliffy macro to your page.   

The other way to add your diagram would be by clicking the + icon in your toolbar and selecting "view more." That will pull up a list of the macros you're able to add to the page!  

If you've activated your free trial of the app and neither of those work, would you mind emailing support@gliffy.com? They'll be able to help you with some more detailed troubleshooting!  

Hope this helps,  

Samie

confluence content url is http instead of https

You'll need the certificate (pem format, frequently has .cer extension) and the key file  
Create a PKCS12 keystore from the private key and the public cert and the certificate chain:

openssl pkcs12 -export -name NAME -in FILE.cer -certfile CHAIN.crt -inkey FILE.key -out FILE.p12

Hi Mike  
A long time ago I tried this with the self-created certificate.  
It also works. Only every current browser rejects such a certificate as untrusted.  
With Letsencrypt, however, I get a trustes certificate, which all browsers accept.  
Unfortunately, you have to renew it every 3 months.

How to link to a different section within the same page (anchor feature is not available)

I'm trying to export a space and the "export" button is not appearing in Content Tools
Asked by Todd Brandel:

I'm attempting to export a Space to HTML, and on certain spaces the Export tab is not showing up. We have a Wiki with multiple Spaces. Some of the Spaces have the Export tab visible, others do not.

Uploading files that contain links
Asked by rocsana.chereches.external:

Hi,

Most of the documents I am trying to upload on confluence have multiple links throughout the text included in the file. For some reason when I try to upload files containing links I am not allowed to. Is this because the links might have some special characters and this throws off confluence?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@rocsana.chereches.external](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3789789) ,

It could be any number of reasons causing that problem, that not least among them. However, this seems to be a case of Confluence being used like SharePoint; i.e. a clumsy file server rather than a serious collaboration/documentation tool which SharePoint... is not.

My usual counsel at my shop (and now that they have seen the benefits they all do it) is to actually convert documents to Confluence content. In that way, you have rather more of the richness of Confluence for your documentation (linking, formatting, etc) along with fast and easy content view among other benefits.

Confluence does an excellent job of getting formatting pretty good with a simple select all/copy/paste with usually only minimal touchup required. This also may go a long way toward solving your link problem; embedded links are typically not a problem in Confluence content.

Search results macro alternative for Questions for Questions?
Asked by Berry Kersten:

Hi,

We have a use case where we want to show questions and topics from 'Questions for Questions' on a page.

As the Search Results Macro no longer appears in the macro browser we cannot use this, so I'm looking for an alternative solution.

For example:

- showing all questions with topic 'test' asked in space 'X'

- showing all topics 'test2' asked in all spaces.

Ideas anyone?

Thanks!

As I understand, you need to display a specific set of question in a Confluence page.

You might be able to achieve what you are looking for by using the Question List macro.

Show different versions in viewports
Asked by Dima Mineva:

Hi guys,

We have the following situation:

We are using Scroll Viewport integrated with Scroll Versions. We have about 10 versions of our documentation and 2 viewports. We would like to show different versions in the two viewports. The reason for this is that we would like to use one viewport for review purposes so we would like to show the latest, draft version of our docu in it. We would not want this version to appear in the "official viewport" which our clients have access to.

Any ideas are welcome!

Many thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@Dima Mineva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3909400)

You should be able to do this with just one viewport. As long as your reviewers are logged into Confluence and have View permission in the space, they'll see all versions that are set to be visible publicly as well as those only visible to authors.

Enabling the Remote API for a User
Asked by Tomasz_Bogaczek:

Hi Team

Im a an Administrator in Jira and Confluence, I got a question from an User to enable for him the Remote API

I found the <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf71/enabling-the-remote-api-979423997.html> but i still dont know how to grant the access for an other User..

Answers:
author: Lasse Langhorn
body: Hi [@Tomasz_Bogaczek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3909195)

You should take a look at the [Confluence REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-server-rest-api/) in order to interact with Confluence content via the REST API if your Confluence version is larger than 6.

The Confluence API is very flexible, so you should be able to do most operations on Confluence content via the REST API.

Take a look at the [Confluence REST API examples](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/) to get started.

XML-RPC and SOAP API's are deprecated from Confluence version 5.5.

Fuzzy search
Asked by Sonja Schelbach:

How can I start a fuzzy search to find entries in all texts of an area?


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Sonja Schelbach](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3905343)

Search using wildcards {#toc-hId--1207625670}
---------------------------------------------

Wildcards replace one or more characters in your search. They can help expand your search. For example, the search below would find <https://www.atlassian.com> or <http://www.atlassian.jp>  

    http*.atlassian.*

Confluence doesn't support leading wildcards. This means searching for `*heese` will not return cheese.  

|      Wildcard       |                                 Description                                  |                                        Example                                        |
|---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Multiple characters | Use an asterisk (\*) at the end of your word to replace multiple characters. | **print\*** finds content containing 'printer', 'printing', 'prints' and so on.       |
| Multiple wildcards  | Use asterisks (\*) to add more than one multiple-character wildcard          | **r\*c\*** finds content containing 'react', 'recovery', 'refactor' and so on.        |
| Single character    | Use a question mark (?) to replace a single character in your search.        | **b?tter** finds content containing 'butter', 'bitter', 'better', 'batter' and so on. |

Copy page also copies attachments by default
Asked by Patrick Vanhoof:

Using Confluence 7.2.

When copying a page, the option to also copy the attachments is a standard enabled. Lots of users don't even notice the option and just copy the page. With a lot of duplicate attachments as a consequence.

Is there a way to disable that option by default?

Wat are the use cases to have it standard enabled?

Thanks,

Patrick


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Patrick Vanhoof](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131759) ,

since every picture on the page is basically also an attachment, I can understand that this is the standard here. Imagine you copy a page, maybe move it to another space and attachments would not be copied but only referenced from the original page.

Imagine to copy this page again sometime, how should attachments be handled then? I think this would very soon become complex and cumbersome, and we are not even talking about changing access to the "original page".

In fact, it is easier to copy everything and have the user take care of removing unneeded attachments. You just have to make sure that the users are aware of the processes and make them understand the implications - so to speak: to educate/train them.

I'm not aware of any way to change this behavior in Confluence. I know this might not be what you want to hear, but if you really need this option, you should take a look at the apps available in the marketplace. I have included a screenshot of our own application called "Space Admin for Confluence", which comes with a built-in space browser for improved content management and enhances the available operations like copying a page (choosing what to copy and what not). You might want to try it (and its other features as well.)

I'm sorry I couldn't help you more here!

Best, Max

comments: author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: Hi Max,

Thanks for your answer.

I can understand that in some/many cases it is useful to have attachments copied too. But it wouldn't be so cumbersome if one didn't have to delete the attachments one by one if not needed... But there is always the option to delete the copy and re-copy the page without the attachments.

It is indeed a case of education/training. So we will keep the standard :)

Regards,

Patrick


author: Andreas Jagel
body: From my experience it is an issue, that even unreferenced attachments are still copied. Simply increasing storage usage without benefit. Users don't expect this to happen. If they delete the file on the page, they expect it to be deleted as an attachment. But the attachment stays and is copied over and over.

Anonymous access lisens
Asked by Kristel Flindt Aune:

Hei

We are planning to migrate from server to cloud. But run into a problem.

On our Confluence server instance, anonymous user can view spaces without having a lisens. They are logged into our office network. And Confluence are not published publicly.

The users are only emplyees. People from outside out network does not have access.

Is this possible in Cloud? Or do we have to pay lisens to all the emplyees that just want to view pages in Confluence. Can we give anonymous access to employees without giving anonymous access to people outside our company.


Answers:
author: Florian
body: Hi Kristel,

that's the drawback of going to the cloud. Behind your firewall you can do that. But on a public server it's almost impossible. Perhaps you can use a pseudo anonymous account (confluence@mycompany.com) and share the password with everybody. But you should consider two ipmplications. First: Maybe this is a violation of the license agreement. Ask your lawyer. Second: What happens if someone leaves the company. You have to change the password and republish it on a regular basis.

So for security reasons I would stick to the on-premise version. If you have to work with external partners it's better to invest some money into your infrastructure and implement some VPN or reverse-proxy stuff so that people from outside can access your installation. Implementing it correctly is a pain in the a\*\* and it's hard to find support (at least in Germany). But once you have done it right it works like a charm.

Kind regards

Florian
