How to copy content from excel to Confluence
Asked by Sowmiya:

Hi,

We got a request from a user that they want to copy the content from excel sheet into confluence.

They would like to copy the content from approx. 12 different Excel files and have the content pasted into Confluence.

Is it achievable?

Please share your inputs.

Just copy and paste the 'table' from an excel spreadsheet right onto a Confluence page.

Confluence will automatically create a table. I actually do this on regular basis.

Mind... if the original excel table is complex (random merged cells, formulas etc., it will not be a perfect match.

It's important to bear in mind that Excel is a dedicated spreadsheet tool.

Confluence Cloud Attachment menu as a button
Asked by Christophe Veuskens:

When you want to view or edit an attachment on a Confluence page, you have to navigate via "More Actions" -\> "Attachments" -\> "Files" to open the Attachment Manager. Can somebody please tell me how I can add a simple button to page menu?

Try searching the marketplace for an app - there might be one that adds UI elements to Confluence features.

And if there's an app like that, then you can make your own.

Having said that, hitting the key is faster :)

Unable to delete folder
Asked by Patrick Black:

I am unable to delete folders. Due to being on the free plan, I'm also unable to officially report bugs.

I am the org admin so I should not have any restrictions, particularly on a folder I created. Has anyone experienced this or have a workaround?

author: Christopher Yen
body: You may need to check the space permissions, I believe as an org admin it doesn't grant all space permissions automatically but you can add yourself to the space.

I would double check space settings to make sure you have the delete permissions

*Space Settings \> Space Permissions \> Users*

Then make sure that you or a group you're in has the permissions you need checked.

Custom CSS to create watermark on exported Confluence (Cloud) PDFs
Asked by Naomi Chao:

**Has anyone been able to create a watermark on exported PDFs from Confluence?**

I'm able to get a custom footer to appear for each exported page but the watermark simply won't behave according to my custom CSS. I'm using the "PDF Stylesheet" box and trying to use a negative z-index and the transform function to create the word "Confidential" across the page diagonally, sitting just behind the main page content. I've even tried to use an embedded SVG, but that threw an error preventing it from exporting.

How to permanently delete a calendar?
Asked by Spencer:

Navigate to your main "Calendar" page. We have a list of say 20 calendars that are part of the master calendar. I want to delete a calendar, but even after clicking through the process to remove, it actually still appears in the master calendar. All the events can be manually removed, but it still doesn't remove it from the master calendar. I've heard this is a known confluence bug, but can't confirm it yet.

Any thoughts? Anybody else seen this issue and found a solution?

thank you,![jira_calendar_screenshot.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/335062iDB331D73BD4B104E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "jira_calendar_screenshot.png")

body: [@Spencer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5541853) Welcome to the Atlassian community

If you permanently deleted the calendar and it is no longer visible the values that are cached will take a little while to go away as the system indexes. How long ago did you delete the calendar? Was the calendar large (did it have a lot of items associated with it?)?

comments: author: Spencer
body: Hi Brant,

Well, I deleted the calendars about 24hrs ago and just checked they still appear on the right hand side of the master calendar. The events themselves are not appearing as I have edited it to basically an empty calendar. My colleagues deleted calendars 2 months ago and they still appear in the master calendar.

To clarify the issue more, we have a space/master calendar and then our individual scrum teams will create their own team calendar. We then add the individual scrum team calendar to the space/master calendar.

Thank you,

On a space calendars main page, on the far right side there can be a list of team calendars. Basically sub-calendars, and I've removed all events and tried deleting them through the "..." menu, but they still appear on the far right side. See the menu on the far right of the ones I'm trying to remove. Let me know if this helps or not.

How can I insert a table in a table

Answers:

Generally speaking, nesting macros and the other page furniture is something that Confluence Cloud editor shies away from.

HOWEVER :D

What you're looking at is a table in a table cell - achieved via putting a table into an excerpt macro on Page 1.1, then putting that excerpt into a table cell on Page 1.2

Confiforms: Complex Form Filter control
Asked by Chris Cloete:

I am making use of dependent complex forms. I am busy setting up a complex knowledge matrix. Where I have a form for knowledge, persons, skills, skillcategories, roles, teams, and support categories.   
This entire architecture is already setup and working fine.

![Screenshot 2024-07-11 144615.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/334955iCACF44325EA62CA9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-11 144615.png")

I have an issue where I cannot add a field of a complex type within the Form Filter control. The Form Filter control seems to only show the fields of the parent table, and no showing the child table properties.   
For example, if I add a Form Filter on the Person form. The fields for only the person is available for filtering, although I should be able to access the fields from the Team form as well.

![Screenshot 2024-07-11 145339.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/334963iE1EFA0B5065136AC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-07-11 145339.png")  
In this case I am three levels deep in child forms: i.e. Person.Team.Support.Name... Ofcourse I can manipulate the field to look better. But I want to know how can I add a field for filtering on the child page(s) so that I can check if support = BD, then show all the persons available for that support type.

If I add the field: Person.Team.Support.Name to the form filter, I am then presented only with the values of the parent field, in this case Person.  

How can I achieve smart complex filtering with multiple child pages?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Chris Cloete](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5541585)

comments: author: Chris Cloete
body: Very prompt answer thanks [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) .   

Thats a bummer. Is there a way to link one filter control macro to multiple forms perhaps?  
I.e. if I filter on Team Name, that the same filter is applied on two forms?  

I am trying to think of workarounds or alternatives in order to achieve something similar (initial question) perhaps.

If you go to [admin.atlassian.com](http://admin.atlassian.com), the **Overview** page contains a list of your products. There is a **Manage users** button at the top of the page that allows you to manage all your users for all products.

You can also use the **ellipsis** (...) menu for an individual product to manage users for just that application.

Note that the recommended practice is to first deactivate users (to allow you time to reassign their pages, perhaps) before deleting them.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.  

Cloud offers centralized user management, enabling you to delete or deactivate users, which results in their removal from all associated products. Alternatively, you can manage user access by removing them from specific Confluence licensed groups.  

Our plugin, [**Bulk User Management for cloud**](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224360/deactivate-inactive-users-bulk-user-management-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) offers user management capabilities across Confluence and Bitbucket.

Key features include group-based filters for easy user identification and filtering, allowing you to suspend, deactivate, or change user groups directly. Additionally, our plugin provides automatic deactivation of users based on their last login date.

Migration from Oracle DB to Confluence
Asked by noemi_anania:

I need to migrate an entire Oracle database to Confluence. Will Confluence create a new page for each file present in the database? Is there a limit to the number of pages that can be created? Is there a limit to the number of attachments per page? There are some files in this database that haven't been accessed in a long time and I would like to delete them. Do you recommend deciding which files to delete and which to keep before migration, or can I delete the unwanted files after migrating all of them? Or does it make no difference at all? Thank you!

body: Hey [@noemi_anania](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5529396) - your use case sounds interesting!

We're in the early stages of developing a new product that might be relevant to your migration needs. It's called Panorama, and it offers comprehensive content management for Confluence!

Feel free to reach out with any questions! :)


author: Kristian Klima
body: HI [@noemi_anania](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5529396)

With Premium, you're not really limited, in practical terms, by storage capacity, so the number of pages is not an issue.

Generally speaking, after many a migration, migrations are a great opportunity to review and clean up the the content.

I would start with the review in your source - to ensure you have consistency - and remove stuff in the source. The idea is that you work in the environment that you're used to.

Once you migrate your content, you will have to do a review (sanity check) which will be yet another opportunity to fine tune the changes.

comments: author: noemi_anania

Will a new page be created for each Oracle database file?


author: Kristian Klima
body: [@noemi_anania](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5529396) I don't know what method of migration you're going to use.

I can only presume that one DB file contains a self contained body of content that you plan to migrate to a single Confluence page.

You can, of course, put a file onto a Confluence page as an attachment but Confluence is not designed to be a file repository, it's to show (and collaborate on) the actual content.
