meta data and version management
Asked by HaNen:

hello,

I'm planning to use confluence to host my project documents

I need to know if confluence can manage versions and meta data to help look into a voluminous data folders

thanks

author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@HaNen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4794962)

By itself, Confluence doesn't offer too much by way of version management. There is a page history where you can see all the versions of a page over time, so it's more like a change log for each page.

My team makes a few different apps for Confluence that extend what Confluence can do with true content versioning and publishing. These might be really helpful to you.

Why can I add someone to a restricted space as an editor, but not as a viewer?
Asked by Ian Guyette:

I help admin a few spaces at work, and I've run into what seems like a pretty odd permissions issue. The situation is this:

A company-wide space has a specific page that has restricted view and edit permissions. Only those invited may view or edit the page, and I typically invite users to view, not edit. They are not required to be in a specific group, and dozens of users have been added this way, as long as they're in the company domain.

So, I add a user "John" and it turns out John cant be added except for as an editor. I only found this out accidentally, as adding him as a viewer seems to work until I go and check the user access list and see that he's not there. If I add him as an editor, he shows up in the list when I inspect everyone who can access the page. Again, he's one of a couple editors and really shouldn't be one, but it's the only way I can add him. It's further bizarre as he doesn't have edit permissions in the space, which is expected, but I cannot understand why he could only be added as an editor in this case.

Hopefully I'm missing something but this feels like a bug. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Ian Guyette](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4786304)

Can the user see any other pages in the same space?

I would check the space permissions. See if the user has been added as an individual and check whether he may have add but not view page permissions.

Link: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/>

The next step would be to contact atlassian support.

User Management
Asked by Jon Nelson:

I need help gaining access to the User Management section of our teams Atlassian Account. I'm trying to do the domain verification but I am not following exactly what I need to do or where exactly I need to setup the txt file that the domain needs to verify. Can anyone assist me in setting this up?


Answers:
author: Peter DeWitt
body: [@Jon Nelson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2908848) , the .txt entry is added to your DNS record. This is outside of your Atlassian site.

Here is an example from GoDaddy on how to do that. If you your domain is parked somewhere else, they will be able to help you with your specific need.

GoDaddy example:

<https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-a-txt-record-19232>

Once you have this record added to your Domain DNS, you will return to your Atlassian site and click the verify domain. Atlassian will reach out to your domain listing and check to see the .txt entry is there.

Grant access to a restricted page while logged in to former employee's account
Asked by pedro.o:

Hi all,

We have a user who left and she had some restricted pages. One of our Space admins logged in as her (after enabling her account and using the login as user option on Confluence). But when she goes to edit the restrictions she gets the error in the picture below.

How do we get around this? If the space admin is logged in as the user, wouldn't they be able to edit all the restricted pages? Both the space admin and the user have full permissions for the space that hosts the restricted page.

Thanks![Confluence.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/186791i1801D1CE8BF57A30/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence.png")


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@pedro.o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4794497) Welcome to Confluence!

What licensing structure are you on? If you have Premium or above, the Admin should be using the Admin Key to log in where they can then override or change permissions as a Site Admin, not as the user themselves.

Here is a link to that documentation:

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/bypass-access-restrictions-on-a-page-with-admin-key/>

comments: author: pedro.o
body: Thanks Andy, we don't have premium. We're unable to use the key.

I'm wondering why she gets that error though, about the user not being able to search the database?

How are spaces added to the "Your Spaces" section of the "View All Spaces" page?
Asked by Todd Whiteberg:

A user asked me how to add spaces to the Your Spaces section on the Spaces page. She only has three and my page shows 5, but I did not choose them myself - they were automatically populated. Is there a manual way to pick and choose which spaces show up under the "Your Spaces" section of the Spaces page?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Todd Whiteberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1144391) that section of the page includes Spaces in this order:

1. Starred Spaces
2. Frequently visited Spaces

You can proactively star Spaces to have them listed there. Frequently visited spaces will be based on your activity.

Workflow Notifications
Asked by Tiago Ramos:

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to implement a sort of form on some confluence pages where when the people tagged "@" on that page approve it, someone else gets a notification of that outcome.

Example: There is configuration change that needs to be done on a client, an internal Confluence page is created to account for this change, what needs to be changed and why, when the page is created it also comes with a template table where two people are tagged to approve the change, and the person that's going to execute this change has to be notified when the change has been approved.

Right now the approval process is a bit improvised with emoji cross and check marks with the tagged person confirming whether they approve the change or not, however this does not provide any sort of way to create an automatic notification around it for the person that's going to execute it to be aware that it has been fully approved.

![example.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/186699iD0754F0270950903/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example.png")

I'm aware that there are apps that can compliment Confluence and do this, however we really just want to get a final notification out of this whole process and it seems overkill to us to get an app just for this very specific feature. Is there a way inside Confluence to somehow create an automatic notification to the person that's supposed to execute the change after it has been approved?

Can I restrict a user adding comments to a sub-space in Confluence?
Asked by vanessa.dsouza:

I want to disable the add comments permission to a particular subspace in Confluence as sometimes users start a discussion through comments. However, I would like the permissions enabled for other sub-spaces.


Answers:
author: Almuth Boehme [Communardo]
body: Hi Vanessa,

As you are speaking about sub-spaces, I assume you might be referring to our app [SubSpace Navigation for Confluence](https://communardo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/cssp). In any case, [@Dexter Broadnax](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4432419) is right. The space permissions are not affected by configuring a space as a sub-space and so you'll want to use the space permissions of the (sub-)space in question to change commenting permissions.

In its current release, other elements (Confluence pages, blogposts, links etc.) can be child elements as well. If it's one of those, other configuration rules would apply. You can check the element type by editing the navigation and navigating to the element in question.

Best

Communardo Support


author: Dexter Broadnax
body: Hi Vanessa

By subspace you mean the Confluence spaces correct? That is possible, but only for spaces. If you go to the space permissions and uncheck the checkbox stating "Add comments" for the users/groups in that space, they won't be able to add comments anymore to that space. You may need to change this permission for other spaces too if you want to remove that permission for other spaces.  
the permissions on Confluence are enabled by marking some checkboxes in the administration menus. and specific pages can be restricted by using the confluence page restriction functionality  
This doc should explain in further detail how to mange those permissions <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html>

Is there a new bug with the Tasks list macro? Doesn't seem to be accepting checking off issues
Asked by aron:

The tasks macro is very useful as it can be used to show tasks on children pages. We use it to keep track of meeting tasks from weekly meetings.

The task list macro makes a table and the tasks have checkboxes to them.

Previously we could mark a task as done on this list and it would update itself and the child page ie the task would disappear on refresh.

Recently this has stopped working, we cannot mark the task as 'done' in the task list table. It marks it on clicking but then on refresh and on looking at the child page - it has not done anything.

Tried deleting and recreating the task list, didn't help.

Replacement for the "Info" tool in the old editor
Asked by Destini Burns:

Hey everyone! In the old editor, you could nest an Expand box in an Info box. I can't seem to do this in the new editor. Any tips here?   

In the event that this is no longer possible, I'll share my goal. I'm hoping to add a bit more structure to a page without using the table feature. In the old editor, the info macro allowed you to create a minimalist outline around content. I'd like to accomplish that again, but the table feature seems to be the only option.

Appreciate the feedback!

Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone

Is there a way to filter decision by status?
Asked by Krystina:

As per the title, I am wanting to filter decisions by status; Decided, not started and in progress. I have been using the page properties macro that has the built in decision process, but can't see a way of filtering by the status, only other properties.

welcome to the community!

That is a limitation of the page properties report macro. A workaround you could use is to add an additional label to each page for the status and use that as an additional filter criterion.

To get around this (and other) limitation of page properties, have a look at our app [Orderly Databases](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227131/orderly-databases-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) (free for up to 10 users). It allows for filtering on statuses.
