who are the stakeholders here and where can I read more about them?
Asked by JUSTINE JENEVIEVE HERNANDEZ:

I can't see the URL of the stakeholders


Answers:
author: Charlie Misonne
body: Hi Justine, Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Could you clarify what you are looking for exactly please? Is this about a particular Confluence app?

comments: author: JUSTINE JENEVIEVE HERNANDEZ
body: Hello! I am looking for the relevant stakeholders on confluence, jira or other softwares since I am studying more about it.


author: Charlie Misonne
body: Alright, so are you looking for who the stakeholders are in general within a company using Jira and Confluence?

To be honest is really depends on what the appliations are being used for. If they are used in a softwared development context you'll have: developers, software testers, business/ functinoal analysts, project managers, people writing documentation, sometimes end users, ...

Sometimes the tools are not used in software development but in an IT support context or even in non-technical contexts like HR/ recruiting. Of course the stakeholders will be different in every context.

But I'm not sure this is the information you are looking for.  
Do you have some extra context about your question?
Issues editing Confluence when using Chrome and Chromium
Asked by Renee Mezyk:

If I open an existing page to edit using Chrome or Chromium. It opens up and there is a blank white page. I cannot even use the tools on the page. Are they any settings or features that must be set in these browsers to be able to edit the pages? Are there any other settings within the server that may need changed. We are running 7.4.0.

Thank you.

Are you having issues with any other browsers besides Chrome/Chromium? What do you see in the console when it loads? Is it happening on all pages or just some of them?

Search in embedded jira content does not work
Asked by Andreas Pluto:

I would like to use the jira-issue macro to identify content within conluence with the confluence search.  
However, this only works if the corresponding keywords have been assigned to the respective infomartions.  
This makes no sense and/or is too time-consuming, since the content can be changed.  
Which requirements must be fulfilled, so that the full text search also searches the embedded contents?

thanks in advance and  
many greetings  
Andreas


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Andreas Pluto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3974905)

The Confluence search only searches the information indexed in Confluence. External information from Jira or any other site is not indexed or searched. There is a KB that explains how to replace the confluence search so you can get this functionality here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-confluence-to-index-external-sites-190077.html>

Create a wiki
Asked by Vincent Asamoah Boateng:

Hi I am new to confluence and was wondering how I can create a wiki please?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Erm, Confluence **is** a wiki - a place where people collaborate on published web pages, managed by the audience and accessed via a browser.

To "create a wiki" in Confluence, click "create" in the menu bar.

I suspect I may not be understanding what you think a "wiki" is though. Could you explain, if I have misunderstood?

comments: author: Vincent Asamoah Boateng
body: Hi Nic, thanks for the response. I am self learning confluence and have got myself confused with the difference between a page and wiki on confluence if that explains it better.


author: Ollie Guan
body: page and wiki or page and **blog**?


author: Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_
body: [@Vincent Asamoah Boateng](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4401973) For some context: in Confluence you have Spaces and you have Pages. Spaces are sort of like a project, and they contain the Pages. Within a Space, you can order your pages in a hierarchy to give them some more order, so you can have a parent page containing pages, which can also contain pages, and so on....

In many companies, they may have a separate Space for each team/department to organise their pages, sometimes they have separate Spaces for each of their projects or deliverables, it all depends how to logically split up the documents.


author: Guilhem Dupuy
body: Hi [@Vincent Asamoah Boateng](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4401973) ,

This is quite a wide question,

First of all, to create a Confluence space I recommend you to read the following page : [Create a blank space.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-blank-space/)

For begginers, to create new pages, you can read the following page : [create and edit pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-and-edit-pages-139476.html)

Let me know if it helps,

Guilhem

Balsamiq wireframe when opens for editing - different wireframe get opened in edit mode
Asked by Anil Wath:

Hello guys,

I am facing weird problem in balsamiq wireframe.

I have created some wireframes and now if i try opening in edit mode for some modifications, system redirect to some other wireframes which i had created earlier not the one which i want to edit.

for better understanding -

1. Created page A - 5 wireframes

2. Created page B - 4 wireframes

I want to make some modifications in wireframe in Page B, hence open B and click Edit

System open Wireframe in page A instead of page B.

Any idea/solution on this please ?


Answers:
author: Brendan Saricks
body: Ugh, I'm sorry about that, Anil.

It may be easier if you reach out to me directly at support@balsamiq.com because we may have to dig into some admin stuff.

However, one thing we can look at now is to check the attachments of each page and make sure both have a .bmpr file attached to them (and if there is more than one).

You can either post the answer here, or send me an email, and we will go from there.

Sorry again for the trouble, my friend. I'll stand by for your response.

How to archive a page in a confluence space on a Server

Can't move certain blog posts to a new space
Asked by rbenson:

I'm trying to migrate a blog from one space to another, but am having problems with a few of them (3 of 12).

I'm able to move most blog posts by individually viewing, then choosing **...** \> **Move**. A dialog pops up to select the new space, and it works fine.

But, there are three blog posts where this doesn't work. When I choose Move, the page simply refreshes. No space-selector dialog appears, just a page refresh.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to move this specific posts over.

Ideas?

Trying to hide/suppress multiexcerpt include error when page doesn't exist
Asked by LoupGarou:

I'm creating a "parent page" template, that has the "multiexcerpt include" macros inserted. The "multiexcerpt include" macros are looking for specific child pages of the parent (there is a template being used to create these pages). In some cases, the child pages have not been created yet. There is another template that will create the child pages with the "multiexcept" macro sections that the parent page is expecting.

This seems to work fine, except when the child page hasn't been create yet. I receive a Page not found messages on the parent page:

Page not found for multiexcerpt macro.

The page: **Team Eggplant Test** was not found. Please check/update the page name used in the 'multiexcerpt-include' macro.

Is there a way to suppress this message when the page(s) have not been created yet? If so, how would I go about doing this? My skills in Confluence are quite limited, so some hand holding may be required.

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@LoupGarou](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4100815) ,

If you have the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app installed for your instance, you may use its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros) macros that allow you to collect tables within multiple pages and spaces searched by:

* page names
* page trees
* labels

If you choose the latter option, then you won't get any mistakes that some of the pages are not still created. [Here is an example](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2020/10/how-to-create-reports-from-multiple-confluence-tables/) of a similar use case (the post was created for Confluence Cloud but the algorithm is the same).

comments: author: LoupGarou
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746)

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, we do not have the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence installed on our platform and I'm pretty sure requesting to have it installed will end in an emphatic no. I appreciate your answer and wish the solution would be that easy.

Jira Issues macro only displays one issue

body: I have the same issue. I would like to be able to have all items in a table, even if it is a single jira. The table allows me to show selected fields which are still applicable, does not matter if it is a single issue or many issues in the result set.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Janet Shuey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4346438)

When you preview the results before publishing how many do you see? I am assuming that the query you are using is only returning one result.

comments: author: Tracy Langston x2472
body: Correct, there really only is one result. The ability to provide table format with chosen fields is lost and that is the issue. I don't care if it is a single issue or 50, I want the table with my designated columns.

When will Confluence updates be able to correctly convert files that originally were in Word?
Asked by Carla Breidenbach:

Due to space limitations for the question, I am providing my intended questions here in full: Will Confluence updates be able to convert files correctly from Word through all subsequent Confluence-to-Confluence conversions? Will Confluence continue to support **all** older versions without requiring conversions?

We converted a "Microsoft 365 Apps for business" Word file to Confluence a few months back. Microsoft updates are done regularly, so I don't have a version for the Word progra,. Word symbols such as right arrows did not convert at that time, though it *looked* like everything else converted correctly.

When I made some changes to that document on 5/19/21, there was a pop-up message indicating conversion to the new Confluence release would be problematic. Tables that converted from Word with no problem will apparently be deleted if I were to update to the new Confluence version, and the links that converted from Word to Confluence are now anchors that don't show the actual names of the links, which is definitely not helpful.

We want to use Confluence as a long-term reference base, so it is not helpful if this problem continues unless Confluence plans to continue to support all older versions without requiring conversions.

Can you help?


Answers:
author: Capi [resolution]
body: If you are using Confluence Cloud and have Office 365 accounts, I suggest embedding the word documents directly. It will mean less effort and stress.

Does purchasing and utilizing a theme impact all Spaces in Confluence?
Asked by Julia Zamacona:

We are looking at adding a theme to a select number of Spaces when we update to the Cloud version here in a few months. We don't want the theme to roll out to all of our Spaces though. Do themes automatically impact all of Confluence, or can we select the Spaces that we want the theme to be active in?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes it does affect every space, in that when you go to space admin, it will offer the theme as an option.

But the answer you really want is more useful - No, because you don't **have** to use it in every space.

Be careful with the global default theme though - this will be applied to all spaces that have not selected a theme. If you're only wanting to use your new theme on a couple of spaces, then leave the global alone and configure only those spaces.
