How to get a list of user mentions in Confluence
Asked by sn:

hi all,

There are places where users have user mentions in Confluence ( Example - for more info, contact @Johndoe). These users are no longer employees and I want to edit those user mentions to the primary contact person.

Is there a way to get a list of all user mentions on a page/space?

thanks !

See the value for:

```
data-mention-id
```

And then paste that into the search in Confluence.

author: Shannon S
body: Hi there,

Right now there is a feature request for that:

* [CONFSERVER-33832](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-33832)

An add-on may be able to help you with that. I saw one vendor mention that [TaskONE](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.greenique.taone/server/overview) might be able to do that.

Otherwise, you can try using Full Search, (CONFLUENCE-URL/dosearchsite.action) select **Add a Filter** in the bottom-left, and select **mentioning user**:

This may help you find the pages you need.

Could you try that and let me know how it works for you?

Regards,

Shannon

yes, that search would only bring up the page. for now, I guess we will use that to narrow down the pages. thank you !

author: Thomas Reyskens

author: Matthew Waychoff
body: Today in Confluence cloud none of the filters shown in the screen capture above are available under \[CONFLUENCE-URL\]/wiki/search

Are they available somewhere else?
