youngmon/atlassian-qna huggingface dataset:
Unpublished Changes is misleading when it says 'Saved'. This needs improving.
Asked by Matthew Yarwood:

I've been editing a large design document over the past few months with a view to publishing the update as a new Version.

I added significant amount of new content and was reassured each time as the top toolbar said " 'Saved' (Every change is saved, the last changes was 1 hour ago)".

After a laptop crash, I return to editing and all of the edits have completely disappeared!

I'm not worried because I think I can just pull tham back from the Change History, only to find that I can't. There is no change history for unpublished edits. There are a number of forum posts with this exact issue dating back several years.

I had assumed the feature worked in the same way as Google Docs and other cloud platforms, and Confluence definitely suggest this to be the case. But clearly it isn't.

I don't really see an effective way around this aside from editing and approving offline and copying it all in at once, or making a duplicate document.

This behaviour needs to change, or at least to be made clear as it is very misleading to see your data is 'Saved' only to find it isn't.

author: Andy Gladstone
body: Page history is based on actual publishing, not the auto-saving feature. I am not sure why your draft isn't reflective of the latest auto-save, but there is no history kept of all changes made between publishes.


author: Matthew Yarwood
body: Hi [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028)

Thankyou for the advice. The document was definitely in Draft status. I have checked Drafts and 'Recently Worked On' as advised by other Forum posts. Unfortunately there is no trace of any changes since November which is odd. It doesn't even show in my 'worked on' list, even though you can see the Image attachments I added in December (which are still listed and work fine). You can see me visiting the page under Analytics, but no record of what changes were made.

Is there was a way to view different 'save' versions of unpublished drafts?


author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Matthew Yarwood](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5125495) Welcome to the Atlassian Community. Sorry you have had a crash landing. It sounds like you never initially saved the document, which means it should still be in your Unpublished Drafts. Have you checked the drafts under your user name on the home page? If the document was in draft status, and the changes were being saved as you edited it, you should be able to find it there.

What access permission does each group have?

How to unfollow a person/user?
Asked by Birte Balck:

Hey there,

I have started following a person/User using this way:

* Choose your profile picture at the right side of the navigation, then choose **Network**

* Search for and select the user in the **User name** field and click **Follow**

* Reload your Network view and the profile picture of the user(s) you just followed will appear in the **Following** list on the right.

However, I cannot unfollow this user anymore.   
Neither in the network view, nor via the person register (hovereing over the picture) does show a "stop following" option.   

What might be the problem?   
Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Bhanu KN
body: Hi [@Birte Balck](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4983005) ,

Have you tried clicking on the picture of the user from your following list? It should take you to the person's profile and you should find a 'Stop Following' option in the sidebar.

Again, I am on the 7.19.1 version. The feature may vary in different versions

How do you left align images that are inside lists in PDF exports?
Asked by chris.javier:

I'm stuck with this problem where in Confluence pages the images look fine but when exported in PDFs the images are centered.  

I tried to add css by targeting \`ol img\` but that doesn't seem to work.  

One thing to note is that the ability to align images are not available when images are inside lists.


Answers:
author: chris.javier
body: If anyone is new to working on CSS overrides on PDF exports, going to **View Source** of the page really helps you understand the html markup and you should have a good starting point as to which elements and classes to target. And yes, it looks like the View Source page is exactly what gets translated / exported to PDF.

Ps. Just thought to put this out here.


author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@chris.javier](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5125353) welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For this question, I'm referring to the following documentation article: [Customize exports to PDF](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-exports-to-pdf/)

I don't believe Confluence natively allows you to determine the alignment of images in a PDF export. However, a third-party app like [Scroll PDF Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) may meet your requirement, to be confirmed.

comments: author: chris.javier
body: Thanks [@Dave Mathijs](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2662590)  

Actually, I figured this overrides the auto center alignment.

```
.wiki-content .image-center {
  margin-left: 0;
  margin-right: 0;
}
```


author: Dave Mathijs

Is there a way to create a list of default statuses?
Asked by Sten Savt?uk:

I am trying to use page properties report for parent page and page properties for children. I want to assign statuses to child pages in a page properties column. but statuses macro only allows to create custom statuses each time. is there a way I could set a list of default statuses to a column of page properties, where people can choose from?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hi [@Sten Savt?uk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5125282), welcome to the community!

You will not be able to define a list of default statuses with the page properties without using additional apps in Confluence. There a specific "status" apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace. But you have content statuses available in Confluence that you can utilize, so let me guide you through a different solution. (Docs: [Add a status to your page or blog](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-a-status-to-your-page-or-blog/))

As you're already using page properties, you might want to check out our app [Orderly Databases for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227131/orderly-databases-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). It's like tables and page properties **but on steroids** (and in smart) ? So here's two ways to solve your use case:

Using Confluence content statuses in Orderly {#toc-hId--496517196}
------------------------------------------------------------------

First, you can replace your current page properties report macro with a dynamic Orderly database. The approach differs from page properties as the database lives in a space and not on a single page in a read-only table report.

It can then be displayed on any page in different ways (dynamics table, board, cards, filtered, etc.) or only as a single entry with available macros.

The gif below shows you a snippet of a table in Orderly with linked pages and their page status (and some other metadata you usually add to pages), which you can view and edit inline and it will be updated everywhere.

![Page+Status+Short.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/235272iB23410F7D25FA82B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Page+Status+Short.gif")

Using a custom status select list in Orderly {#toc-hId-1990995637}
------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also decide to create a select list for your users to choose values from and use them in the database. My example is a list for priority values:

![orderly_change_color_select.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/235274i96F99C2E33348BA2/image-dimensions/153x236?v=v2 "orderly_change_color_select.png")

The result can look like this:

![select_list_orderly.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/235275i265BCCA355FC8529/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "select_list_orderly.gif")

I hope that I was able to help you a bit. Let me know if you have further questions. Have a great day!??

Best, Max

No connection to marketplace from a just new cloud version

Import from Trac-Wiki-pages to Confluence
Asked by Sumit Shrivastava:

We have an old Trac based wiki system for managing application documentation. Further were trying to identify ways to migrate the wiki documentation pages from Trac-Wiki (1.0.18 version) on to the Confluence (7.19.1 version) system.

Is there a way to do this automatically such that we are also able to migrate the child wiki pages as well?

\[ About **Trac** : <https://trac.edgewall.org/> \]


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Well, 10 years ago when I did such a migration I used a tool called Universal Wiki Converter. It was working pretty well .. but that is no longer available and those where times that Confluence also used Wiki Markup.. I guess Trac is still using it, right?

Not sure if this would be easily possible right now without some specific development that would convert Trac markup to Confluence. Unless of course there is way to Export page from Trac in some other format.. Is there any? Maybe JSON?

Anyway development of a tool I think it is required. Maybe it would be good to put content automatically to Confluence using REST API

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: One of my colleagues did a migration with the UWC in the spring of '22!

They installed a really old version of Confluence, used <https://github.com/AtlassianContribs/universal-wiki-converter> to create the UWC, and imported from the other source (I'm not sure it was Trac, although I do know we were asked to import from Trac around then). Then they upgraded the Confluence to the version the client was on, and used space export/import to get the data in.

How to create Table of Tables?
Asked by AJAY DANDGE:

Hoe to create Table of Tables in a Confluence page? After importing a word document containing table of tables and table of figures, both tables got converted to Table of content. Now the imported document has 3 TOC with same information.


Answers:
author: Kevin Comco
body: You can actually do it with a little bit of savvy. Technically, it's using the Table of Contents widget multiple times.

For example, suppose my primary document uses Headings 1-3 and paragraph for the body. I can set up one Table of Contents widget, click and edit it (in edit mode) and set the Minimum and Maximum Heading Levels to 1 and 3, resp.

Then for my Table items, I use Heading 4 for their section labels and add a SECOND Table of Contents widget with its Min/Max Heading Levels set to 4.

Voila, a Table of Tables!

How to Import a big Confluence Cloud backup into a another Cloud Site
Asked by BernalCarlos:

I have a backup zip file of a Confluence Cloud site that has a size 7.9 Gb, and an XML file of 268 Mb.

When I try to import the backup into a new Confluence site, I get an error due to the XML file size and a broken link to "alternative methods".

I know now that the limit is 200 Mb, but when doing a google search, all I find are guides for migrating from self-hosted sites to the cloud version of confluence.

After doing the suggested workarounds, the import is still unsuccessful. Now due to some non-whitespace characters.
