Got an error: This page is too big to save
Asked by Walter Hamilton:

There is not much text on the saving page but having 10 pictures. If I remove all pictures in this page, the page is saved without problems.  

When adding any of the pictures (via copying Ctrl+C), there are no problems - an attachment coping window is displayed as usual and the picture is rendered. But if I try to save the page, a strange message appears:
> This page is too big to save\[...\]

The log file (catalina.out) is nothing to say about what happened.

* If there is an error in the size of the inserted image on the page, then why do you let it be done at the coping stage?
* Why don't you say anything about the picture size in the error message? Because even if you divide the page into several, the error will still occur

body: check out the tomcat's **app/conf/server.xml** file, the connector defaults the **maxPostSize** to **16MB** which can prevent the Confluence to receive the whole POST call from the editor.


author: Moses Thomas
body: [@Walter Hamilton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/806898) You would need to show the logs in \<confluence_home\>/logs when you tried to save the page, that we could see whether or not is problem with attachment size

Language Settings don't work | How can I change the language?
Asked by Nihal YILDIZ:

Hi!

Could you please help me with changing the language from German to English? I never opted for German language and the only reason I can see why I am given a workspace in German Language is that I am based in Germany.

Organizing STuff..
Asked by Jake:

I'm juuust getting started and I have a kind of organization challenge. Not organization like a business but organization like how to order stuff with confluence.

It seems there are a few different ways to look at the "stuff" I would contain in confluence (the content)..

There's the kind of thing it addresses (as in a website to be built vs a mobile app vs a desktop application, and so on). There's what you're gonna do with it (as in designing it, managing it, coding it, and so on). Then there's the kind of information that it is (as in troubleshooting vs how to vs policy declaration or document, and so on).

That's 3 distinct paradigms. What is a sane approach to organizing that mess? And how would I even begin to find an answer?


Answers:
author: Jake
body: Maybe I should start by writing an article on how to write articles. (That was a joke).

I totally figured it out. I guess I just needed to work through it and writing it out here has made the difference. I'm not sure what's appropriate for the community - to delete this whole thing and move on or leave it here. I would share my discoveries if I knew how / where.


author: Sajit Nair _Trundl_
body: Wow... this actually sounds like a Dear diary post [@Jake](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3878407) .  

Actually, Its never to late to write a "how to write article"..   
We have tons of new folks join in and they can definitely benefit from it. :)


author: Jake
body: To clarify. I think my concern is in how to organize the content of documents in relation to how you plan to present the information. So I'm kinda stuck not having written anything yet cause I'm not sure what to put in a single document to make it clear. One example (probably my Goliath at this point) is the need to address each step in the process of creating different types of things. So take repository management. How I plan to use the repository is something I want to formally document, but I won't work the same way in a repository for a simple website as I would with say a mobile app or a desktop application. I imagine I could cover repository management in a single document and break it down into sections for each product (eg: websites section, application section, etc), or I could cover each product in a single document and have one section on repository management in each product's document, or I could wax atomic on it and have one document per section per product and each kind of information be it's own document (eg: troubleshooting, how to, etc). With this last option I could use Confluenct to just organize how it's all presented. Not sure what the best approach is or why though.

Add read privileges to a concrete group to any new space
Asked by Pedro Gago:

Hi,

We have working with Confluence Server 6.4.3 and we want, automatically, grant read privileges to a group of users for any existing or new space.

The only way we have seen to do this is granting the privilege "system administrator" to this group in the global permissions configuration, but we don't want to do this. The group of users I'm talking about is the higher management group in the company: They must see everything and we don't want to add them manually to any space nor to add them to system administrators.

There is any way to do this? Regards,

Pedro


Answers:
author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi,

I Think this should be possible by using the default space permissions.

If you add that group there, the group should be added to all nee spaces.

Take a look here for more information.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to write some code for this, either as an app, or using a scripting app.

Your code will need to consider new and existing spaces, and probably look at page restrictions as well.

author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Cecilia Yoshida](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3885323) and welcome to the community

I don't know your hosting type, so I try to answer the question for both types :)

For both, I'm not aware of any possibility to create a "pop-up". So here are some suggestions, how you can do it without pop-ups

**Confluence Cloud**

In confluence cloud you could use the "[expand macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/expand-macro-724765195.html)" like this

Just type "*/expand*" and choose expand:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92188i304A6C892F4CC30C/image-dimensions/209x80?v=v2 "image.png")

In the view mode, this could look like this:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92189iC0501DC5721DA7A6/image-dimensions/570x146?v=v2 "image.png")

**Confluence Server**

Of course, you can also use the "[expand macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/expand-macro-223222352.html)" for confluence server. There is another option. You could use the "[panel macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/panel-macro-51872380.html)" or the "[info macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/info-tip-note-and-warning-macros-51872369.html)"

When you use the info macro, this looks like:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92190i9B80941258B80843/image-dimensions/162x151?v=v2 "image.png")

With the panel macro, it would looks very similar, but the panel macro is more customizable.

Hope this helped.

Regards, Dominic

Limit to the number of Confluence pages created using Import Word document and splitting Heading 1?
Asked by mnobida:

I have a Word document with 320+ Heading 1 paragraph styles.

I want to import that document into Confluence such that each Heading 1 creates a new page. I tried many times, but the import always seems to fail. The results for roughly the first one-third of the operation are exactly what I want, but it seems the import fails around the 92nd attempt.

I did a cursory inspection of my source and found nothing strange. Before I look any deeper, I just want to know if there is a limit to the number of pages that can be created in this fashion. If not, I'll dig deeper into the source and post more info if I still cannot figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: mnobida
body: Sorry...Looks like I figured it out.

The 93d and 94th H1s had the same name. If I removed duplicate names, all H1s were split into separate Confluence pages successfully.

How to avoid sig in to google when using Google Drive plug in?
Asked by Danae Castellanos:

I just add the Google Drive plug in to my confluence account and people on my team need to sign in to Google account in order to see the content of my entry on confluence.

How can I change that?

How I can make it direct withouth sign in to Google account?

Please let me know.

Thanks


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

I'm going to assume you're using the [Google Drive for Confluence (Official)](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213092/google-drive-for-confluence-official?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app published by Atlassian. This app converts the "share" link from a google document into an embedded version in Confluence.

Depending on the share settings of the document you're embedding, users on Confluence might be prompted to sign in to Google to view the document. As an example, here's what a document will show in Confluence if the Google document requires permissions that I don't have or I'm not signed in:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92397iA4E5223E6DE27849/image-dimensions/564x427?v=v2 "image.png")

Luckily this is pretty easy to fix on the Google side; we just need to update the document's sharing permissions.

By clicking the **Share** button in the document in Google Drive, I can adjust permissions for my organization pretty quickly:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92398i5685D04211E3F508/image-dimensions/534x319?v=v2 "image.png")

The link in Confluence doesn't need to be changed once the permissions in Google Drive are updated. Anybody at Atlassian can view that document in Confluence now - but it still requires them to sign in to Google. Let's go one more step! By clicking on the **More...** option down at the bottom, I can adjust the document permissions further:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92399i394D19E1710F90A6/image-dimensions/569x473?v=v2 "image.png")

With the **"On - Anyone with the link"** option selected, now the document is shown directly in Confluence without requiring a sign-in to Google. Folks won't be able to make changes to the document directly (as I've selected "can view" rather than "can edit" in the sharing options), but you can modify that to your liking.

Cheers,  
Daniel

How can we export the folder/file structure that we have in place in confluence?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Anula,

Happy to help you. Could you help me to understand what it is you're looking to do exactly?

It's not possible to export the directory structure of your Confluence Cloud site, but you can create either a site or space backup, depending on where you want to migrate your data. Have a look below!

* [Migrating to a New Cloud Site](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/changing-the-cloud-instance-url-address-or-migrating-to-a-new-cloud-instance-691011835.html)
* [Migrate from Confluence Cloud to Server](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/migrate-from-confluence-cloud-to-server/q)

If you want to store Confluence offline, I recommend exporting your pages and spaces to [HTML, XML, or PDF](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml/).

I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, please let me know.
