Can you import data from the server version to the cloud version?
Asked by Mitch Cronin:

Is it possible to import everything from your server based Confluence version to the cloud version if you upgrade? We are thinking about making the plunge and want to make sure we're not starting from scratch.


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Mitch, welcome to the Community!

The [Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219672/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant?hosting=server&tab=overview) now supports versions of Confluence all the way back to 5.10. It's possible you might not even need to upgrade to use the app - if you've got 5.10 or newer, you can simply install the app from the Marketplace (or by using "Find new apps" in Confluence) and start a Cloud migration.

We're here to help if you run into any questions!

Is there a macro to auto populate subsequent dates?
Asked by Matthew Phillippi:

So I have a table in Confluence where my team inputs start dates, but all of the subsequent dates have set periods before the next due date (i.e. 1 day, 8 days, 2 days). Currently we input all of this manually. Is there a macro or functionality to make this auto populate? and if so is there a way to make it ignore weekend days in those dates?

The relationship between Jira and Confluence
Asked by Sutton, Andrew:

I'm sure this has been beaten into the dirt, but can someone *simply* explain the relationship between Jira and Confluence? I'm a long time IT guy but I'm new to Jira, my background is not in software development, my company uses Jira to track day to day work it, and it's a bit confusing all the stories and epics and tasks. I'd be grateful for any simple explanations that people may have.. Thanks in advance.

author: Bhanu
body: Hi Andrew,

Jira is a Bug tracking software - Simply, Jira is everything about Tickets. Example tickets: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-1391?filter=98704>

Confluence is mainly a Knowledge Base, People can document anything in confluence and share with their teams etc. - Simply, Confluence is everything about Documents. Example: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-5-10-release-notes-826894762.html>

comments: author: Sutton, Andrew
body: That's helpful Bhanu. Thank you very much.


author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: Jira is used to track work for PM, software development, or service desk projects.

The sister software confluence is a WIKI environment that allows team members to collaborate as a team on JIRA issues, do reports from various sources including JIRA, and allow teams to through their spaces share data and documents. The Knowledge Base feature allows common "knowledge base" articles to be shared with JIRA issue types in the different projects...the individual projects can tie back to specific spaces.

Most organizations use confluence to report data and share data with teams and executives that it is why Confluence is also used a data repository.

As being manufactured by same company--compatibility is strong.

Usually leadership reports of their JIRA teams are done in confluence if they do not need to be inside the JIRA tool on a daily basis.

How to get decisions section to update on meeting notes?
Asked by anne gibson:

When I create a new meeting note as a child of the Meeting Notes page, the action items roll up to the parent Meeting Notes page, and the file itself rolls up to the meeting notes, but the decisions don't roll up unless I go "tweak" the decision macro. Is something wrong with the macro? How do I get it to work as reliably as the action items?

Why does the Confluence REST api parse xhtml?
Asked by Matt Flaherty:

I came across this question when searching for the problem I'm having: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Confluence-REST-API-gives-Error-parsing-xhtml/qaq-p/499519>

But it's closed for comments. What nobody seems to ask is why is it parsing xhtml at all? Nobody wants xhtml. It is a dead standard. Confluence doesn't use the xhtml doctype. If I'm migrating content from another system into Confluence and some of those pages happen to contain unreferenced namespace prefixes, can't we just ignore it instead of chucking a 400 error? Otherwise I need to clean it all up first which is a pain. I don't think the content created through the api needs to be xhtml, so I don't get this.


Answers:
author: Gonchik Tsymzhitov
body: Hi [@Matt Flaherty](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3592929) ,

Welcome into professional software development process.

1. Confluence is old project.

2. Confluence is not used pure xhtml, use the customized one.

Each time you need to calculate the money of changing standards, or features.

Also, time to time. some standards go away, as world as changed. but legacy product will work and continue work.

i.e. at the moment

* GraphQL is latest greatest way.
* REST API is just old.
* SOAP - is super old.

So background includes the same concepts and a polishes.

Therefore I would say it's "holy war" thing

comments: author: Matt Flaherty
body: The war is over. xhtml lost a long time ago. html5 won, again a long time ago. Confluence declares the html5 doc type in its own page source. I've been involved in the professional software development process for more than 25 years, but thank you anyway for the greeting. Honestly, I have not used the GraphQL API and I wasn't even aware of it. I'll give it a try, so thanks. REST is not going away, so it would be nice to see that API maintained in a commercial software product.

New structure columns not showing pre selected dates
Asked by Dave Hattig:

Hi,

I have a end user who created a new Structure and has added a couple columns. One being 'Client Commit Date'. Problem is the column will not pre populate the date from the ticket. We always have to double tap the row and add it. But other fields like 'Due Date' do populate.

And I confirmed the ticket does show a 'Client commit date' date on the ticket. So there is a value to pull in.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

inline comments restricted in a visible space
Asked by Jennifer Weber:

Hello - we have a space in confluence that is visible to all staff. I'm trying to understand if the inline commenting tools can be used and seen only by a select group of staff, and how I would set that up. I can see options for adding comments or not, but not about just viewing the comments. Thanks, let me know if questions to better explain.


Answers:
author: Irina_Bel_Stiltsoft_
body: Hi [@Jennifer Weber](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/153408) ,

Once you disable Comments permissions on a space level, users aren't able to leave both inline and page comments within this space. However, a workaround might be found in the [Talk - Advanced Inline Comments for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/978531/talk-advanced-inline-comments?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) app.

You can set up Talk Inline Comments Restrictions on a space level and add to the 'white' list groups or users who can see inline comments on a space level.

![Talk Space Permissions.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/179476iC32631FFB543BA43/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Talk Space Permissions.png")

Moreover, with our app, you can restrict viewing for the talks on a space level or/and for the specific comment thread. Say, you want your comments to be visible only internally. You can set space permissions for the comments only for a group or/and users who can view them. However, any user who can make comments can change restrictions for specific comment threads.

author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi Jennifer,

Unfortunately, hiding inline and normal comments for a certain group is not possible. See for example [Comment on pages and blog posts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/comment-on-pages-and-blog-posts-139483.html).

All you can do is lock the entire page for specific users or groups - [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html)

Forms auto downloading
Asked by Valentina Donaghy:

Hello! For our organization, we store all of our policies \& procedures in a page on Confluence. Up until this week, staff were able to search a document, click on it, and it open up on the page w/in Confluence; however, now when they click on the document, it takes them to the page where all policies/procedures are without opening the document for them and causing them to have to search for it on the page.

Was this a system update? Does anyone know how we can fix this so documents open when clicked on for quick reference? We don't want staff having to download every document accessed.

Thank you.

any plan to bring junit macro back into the new editor
Asked by Stefan Schmidt:

since this states like 500 times that "**This macro was intentionally excluded from the new editor and will be** **deprecated from the legacy editor soon."**

Are there any plans to bring that back? or is there an alternative I do not find?


Answers:

body: Hello Stefan,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. Thank you for raising this question.

There are no plans to bring back the [JUnit Report macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-junit-report-macro/) post-deprecation. You can read more about the removal of these macros in [Learn which macros are being removed](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/learn-which-macros-are-being-removed/). There's a request for [Macro removal feedback](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65317) on CONFCLOUD-65317, which you can review for further details.

I am not aware of any alternatives, but you can look at [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com/) to see if there's a 3rd-party solution.

I hope this helps!

Take care,

Does Atlassian plan to bring any similar feature made available for free or standard users ,near future? I hope you would agree that any product is more sellable based on its basic offerings to customer .


author: Pavel Junek
body: I agree, but I'm afraid that Atlassian probably doesn't plan to put these functionalities in a lower plan, because that's the advantage of a more expensive plan.

How can I copy decisions and actions to other pages?
Asked by Rob Powell:

I am using the decisions macro, and actions macro in a meeting minutes template which also contains information about the meeting (what was discussed, who raised points etc.)

//decision and //action

I would like to be able to copy both decisions and actions to a different location - so, for example, I have one place for all minutes and actions in a table without all the other information from the minutes page.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Advanced Search Configuration
Asked by Andreas Schmidt:

Hi,

I've noticed that the advanced search is not dynamic in the sense that fields auto calculate options in other fields.

Example:

I select a specific space in the advanced search, the choice of parent pages could/should invalidate pages beyond those contained within the specified space.

Is there a way to configure that?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Andreas,

Thank you for bringing this up with us. From what I understand, you have specified a space in Advanced search. You anticipate that when you search under **Pages under**, it will only display pages from the specified space, is that correct?

I can confirm that the filter's scope isn't limited to the selected space, which is the intended behavior. The space filter restricts the results on the left but not across the other search filters.

I created a feature request for that behavior. I'll share that so you can add your vote to it. You may find you have to login again if "*Vote for this issue*" is greyed out.

* [CONFCLOUD-71801](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-71801) *Advanced (full) Search should adjust filtering results based on specified space*

You can see I included some suggested workarounds on the request, which are:
> [Insert the Livesearch macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-livesearch-macro/ "Follow link") on a page, or refer to advanced Confluence search syntax.

* [Advanced searching using CQL](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/ "Follow link")

* [Confluence search syntax](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/confluence-search-syntax/ "Follow link")

I hope this helps, but if you have any questions or need further information, please let me know!

How to bulk move many meeting notes from personal space to a public space?
Asked by Zafar_Kazi:

I created many meeting notes in my personal space and would like to move them to the main project repository public space. Would like to have a folder structure for various meeting types.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hey there [@Zafar_Kazi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4287632) !

When you say "many meeting notes" I am assuming that you are referencing multiple pages created in your personal space.

If I am correct, you do have options to either move or copy them over to the desired space. Here is our documentation about it:
> * ***[Confluence Cloud - Move, copy, and hide pages - Move pages](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/#Move,copy,andhidepages-Movepages)***
> * ***[Confluence Cloud - Move, copy, and hide pages - Copy pages](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/#Move,copy,andhidepages-Copypages)***

You can also order your pages so that the hierarchy is whatever your workflows requires. For you to reorder the pages, you can either drag and drop them directly in the page tree or follow this:
> 1. Go into "Space Settings"
> 2. Select the "Content tools" tab
> 3. Click the "Reorder pages" tab
> 4. Drag and drop the pages you need to reorder

You can create multiple pages that represent each "meeting type" and then place your meeting notes under each page accordingly.

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Ingo Schalk-Schupp
body: Unfortunately, this is not a solution for bulk moving pages. This is still moving pages individually, one by one, and can be a very tedious task, depending on the number of pages being moved.


author: Julan Prasad
body: Seconded, re-arranging pages is incredibly clunky. Need a drag and drop solution to re-order pages around within a space.


author: Ms_ Hiller
