How do I delete a page I created by accident?
Asked by Lori.Malvey:

I was assigned to create pages for my team. I'm learning. I accidentally created a page I need to delete, but the system knowledge base says I don't have the rights to delete a page. Will this happen every time I make a mistake? Do I need to ask a system admin (who is not near me) to delete pages (with the need to explain a lot along the way) every time I make a mistake? Yuck!


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hi Lori,

you can ask a space administrator for help here. The space administrator can grant you the "Delete Page" permission for that space so you don't run into this problem every time you want to delete a page. And after you deleted a page, a space administrator can always restore it from the space trash in the space administration. So nothing's lost.

Best, Max

Was the full page "Layout" removed from Confluence?
Asked by MTM Support:

Why are the only layout options multi-column? There used to be a single full page option that would be a far better format for a large table.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, our option for single column and easily relocatable sections have been removed.

Why? I can't say why anyone thought this was a good idea.

comments: author: MTM Support
body: ... well, that's dumb.


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: I was working on a lot of pages in Confluence Cloud this week and I wasn't happy when I realized that you can only delete the section to get rid of a multi-column layout... I quite agree with you.


author: MTM Support
body: I didn't realize that was even an option. This is a terrible UI/UX. Not intuitive in the slightest. Thank you for letting me know that I could go outside of the layout.

If not converted, what will happen to existing pages and our custom templates?
Asked by Wendy Emerman:

We have existing pages and page templates that use

* Nested columns layout
* More custom image sizes in layout
* Custom aligned images within a layout (like three images in a row)
* Resized images in tables
* Custom table widths
* Table 'overflow' in layouts (a horizontal scroll bar appears)
* Images that link to attachments
* and more

These features cannot be converted. What is the fate of these pages and templates? How will the pages display and function?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Wendy Emerman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/323800) !

This is a pretty valid question you sent our way. You can have peace of mind because ++*the complete removal of tinyMCE is not happening anytime soon.*++

++*Our automatic migration*++ from tinyMCE (old editor) to Fabric (new editor) has been ++*halted a few months ago*++. Here is an excerpt from that blog post:
> *We will no longer be converting existing pages to the new experience - instead, you will only see the new experience when you create a new page.*

Here you can check the whole post:
> * **++[\[Atlassian Community\] Changes to Confluence Editor release](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Changes-to-Confluence-Editor-release/td-p/1031058)++**

The only thing you need to be aware of is that ++*all your new pages will be created using Fabric and can not be converted to tinyMCE.*++

++*For short, your pages will continue working. There is no auto-migration of pages to Fabric.*++

I hope this clarifies things for you, Wendy! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: Wendy Emerman
body: Thanks - you clarified the answer for existing pages. But what about our existing templates? If there are features in our old templates, such as nested columns (and other features mentioned above), will they still be supported when the template is used to create a new page?

Also, my go-to page for new editor updates is [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html?_ga=2.36955751.656100297.1579722796-1508450605.1576764607). This page should reflect that the transition has been halted.

How to compute the percentage of an aggregate value in a TableView Merger?
Asked by Joel Tabares:

Hi,

The picture below is from a TableView Merger from a data table. I wanted to get the % Deductible from the total values (Deductible and Total Amount) = 67%.

Using the Function:

\* Percent:(CONCAT(ROUND(((\[entry.Deductible\] / \[entry.TotalAmount\]) \* 100),0),"%"))

It gave me the individual percentages from the original table.

![Capture.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80258i96A2D45ECEF51042/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.JPG")

Below is the source data table![Capture1.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80415i904BB03E0BE7871C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture1.JPG")


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Calculations in TableViewMerger are done per data row. The column calculating the % is concatenated from 3 calculations (as ConfiForms fails to recognise the value as numeric and concats it as strings)

comments: author: Joel Tabares
body: Ok. Thank you Alex. I guess there is no way Confiforms can handle what i needed to get, either using TableViewMerger or anything within Confiforms.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Not with built-in ConfiForms macros, no. But you can always have a small script utilizing the[ConfiForms REST API](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/REST+API) and calculate whatever you need.

For example

How to insert a file on each cell of a large table while taking as small cell space as possible??
Asked by Saul:

How to insert a file on each cell of a large table while taking as small cell space as possible??


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Saul,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

When adding images to a table using the new issue view, I tested here and it will adapt to the size of the cells.

![Screen Recording 2020-01-24 at 05.02 PM.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80400i5550FB93ACD7A2C5/image-dimensions/291x232?v=v2 "Screen Recording 2020-01-24 at 05.02 PM.gif")

As the images are added using the new view, it will be completely different if we see the same ticket on the old view, the images will show very big, but it's possible to edit its size.

![Screenshot 2020-01-24_17-03-40-511.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80401i293A8D04D92F7558/image-dimensions/424x161?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-01-24_17-03-40-511.png")

I'm not sure if that's what you meant on your question and if not, please let us know more details about what you need to do. If you are facing any issue, feel free to send us a screenshot.

Regards,  
Ang?lica

comments: author: Saul
body: Hello Angelica,

<br />

Thank you for your reply.

<br />

Unfortunately, that suggestion is not sorting out the issue. I just would like to insert a LINK for each data file on each cell of a table so that this will take as small cell space as possible. I think it was possible before to insert a LINK, but now this is not possible.

<br />

This is as opposed to insert an IMAGE with the link on the table, as shown on the following screenshot.

Regards,

Saul

author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Thank you for the screenshot, Saul.

I see that you are using Confluence and the GIF I sent on my previous response is related to Jira since the question was marked as Jira.

When adding files in Confluence, on the new editor it's not possible to change its size or to show as a link.

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

* [Ability to link text to an attachment in editor](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65302)

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the feature.

As a workaround, you can use the [Attachments Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/attachments-macro-724765160.html) to show the list of files.

We are upgrading our Atlassian suite and are having problems re-starting Confluence.
Asked by Karl Samson:

We are getting a 404 error, but have run out of ideas on things to check! We have googled everything we can think of. The logs refer to a fatal socket error, but nothing specific.

![Confluence error.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80241i920523DDCB343C84/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence error.PNG")


Answers:
author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Karl Samson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3611064) ,

a socket error could (normally) have 2 reasons:

* The socket is already used (zombie process)
* You do not have the rights to use a specific socket

Confluence uses Synchrony for collaborative editing. This uses additional sockets for communication. Eventually you updated from an older version ... (more details)

So long

Insert Link to not-yet-existing page no longer possible?
Asked by onlineadmin@vatit.com:

Hey guys, this is such basic Wiki functionality that I'm amazed that it's either not possible at all anymore, or hidden away somewhere ridiculous that's it's impossible to find:

How do you create a link to a page that is to be created? Normally in a Wiki, you create the link, then when you save the page and click on that link (which would be rendered in red to indicate it doesn't exist yet), it would create the new page. Confluence used to be able to do this when you typed \[ and then a name that didn't yet exist. Now with the new Rich Editor in Confluence Cloud, that feature seems to be entirely gone. Typing \[ just inserts a \[ and nothing more. Insert Link only allows links to existing pages or URLs.

What am I missing?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [onlineadmin@vatit.com](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/382461)

First of all, there are two seperate features you talking about.

The first is the missing feature with the "\[". This is correct, that doesn't work anymore. But you can use "CTRL-K", and this will do the same as "\[" did in the old editor.

The second thing is the link to an non existing page. This question was asked in another community post: See [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-create-a-link-to-a-page-that-doesn-t-exist-yet/qaq-p/1240674).

Short term: This feature is in the short term backlog:

* [CONFCLOUD-67129](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67129) *Link to an undefined page (a page that doesn't exist yet)*

Hope this helps

Regards, Dominic

How can I find unused attachments?
Asked by Martin James:

We can have a page on our Confluence environment which has over 30 images and PDF attachments. 10 of those for example might no be shown on the page any more because they have replaced with a file using a different name.

How can we locate all unused attachments? Is there a select SQL we can execute which can help us find this out?

Our site storage is forever increasing. Having a list of all the redundant files will allow us to clear some space.


Answers:
author: Robert Hellmann
body: I just created a SQL statement for Oracle. It returns the file size and whether the attachment title is found in bodycontent clob field (the real content).

  c.pageid,
  round(cp.longval / 1024 / 1024, 1) as "size MB",

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence doesn't track if something is used or not, unless you install and configure one of the apps that tracks views. I have a feeling there is only one that tracks attachment "view" (I use quotes because preview, view-in-place and download are all tracked as the same thing)

Filter Kanban board into confluence page
Asked by S Douglas:

I have a meeting agenda page set up in confluence, is there a way to filter in the current tickets that populate the various columns of Kanban board into this agenda page.

And, then have these remain static for a particular date?


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@S Douglas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2955331)

You can visualise a board in Confluence in a few ways:

* **Jira Issue Macro:** This visualises a list of issues in Confluence. Use your board's filter query as the JQL search in this macro. This can be located via Board Settings \> General \> Filter Query
* **Jira Chart Macro:** This visualises the issues again - but they can be placed into a two-dimensional table or a pie chart.
* **Agile Wallboard Gadget:** This visualises the actual board within Confluence

\^ However, in all three cases the data is dynamic, so it will move overtime. When the page is refreshed your view is the real-time view of the data.

To have it static across all statuses wouldn't be simple to do via a macro - a simple option would be to:

1. Go to the Board Settings \> General
2. Either click "Edit Filter Query" or copy/paste the Filter Query into an Issue Search page
3. Then either copy/paste the table into Confluence from your web browser or...
4. Export to CSV and then copy from Excel into your Confluence page

It's a manual work-around but it will get you the desired result.

Have you deleted the Home Page at all? A space needs a home page and to have all subordinate pages to sit below it in order to have the page tree in the side-bar - to check if you have one:

1. Go to Space Tools \> Overview \> Space Details
2. See if Home Page has a page within it - if not, create a new home page and add it here
3. Next go to Content Tools \> Reorder Pages
4. Ensure all pages link into the Home Page

You can restore the pages but they'll be added to the root of the space. You'll need to reorder pages as above in step 3 to get them in the right order.

Is there a way to see what my team is searching for?
Asked by Dave Anderson:

The only good thing about the previous software we were using prior to confluence was the ability to see what the team members were searching for. This helped us to design new content, answer frequently asked questions and improve the placement/organization of our content to meet the need of the main users. Is there anyway in confluence to see similar statistics on searched content? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Dave Anderson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/852041)

Not in Server as far as I know.

There is a suggestion for this - see [CONFSERVER-28959](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-28959) - although it is almost 7 years old.

I'd suggest a Marketplace app is your best option - such as [ViewTracker](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

Or you could try using Google Analytics. This isn't something I've tried but [this answer](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-configure-Google-Analytics-to-Confluence/qaq-p/254531#M43134) has some suggestions on this.
