Can I use the Attachments Macro to upload and tag links?
Asked by Paige Pulaski:

My marketing team is working on uploading a list of all of our content (datasheets, guides, case studies, etc.) to a Confluence page. We're tagging each document separately (with things like sales stage, customer health, topic, author, industry, etc.).

We want to include links to blog posts in this grid and be able to tag them as well.

Is there any way to add a link to a live webpage in this Attachments Macro so I can use all the same Labels list to sort and organize the content from the same table?

Thanks!

body: Hi, Paige,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The [Attachments macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/attachments-macro-724765160.html) displays a list of files attached to a page. It's not possible including links to live webpages or blog posts using the Attachments macro.

You can though add the links to pages and add labels to those pages and to blog posts, using then macros such as [Content by Label](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/content-by-label-macro-724765178.html), [Labels List](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/labels-list-macro-724765224.html) and [Related Labels](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/related-labels-macro-724765274.html) to organize the contents.

You may also use the [Blog Posts macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blog-posts-macro-724765162.html) to display blog posts on a Confluence page.

A list of all macros available for Confluence Cloud can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/macros-724765157.html).

Best regards,  
Thais

comments: author: Paige Pulaski
body: Thank you, Thais!

To be clear (still new to this), the Blog Posts macro pulls from Blog Posts \*IN\* Confluence, right? No way to set it up to pull in blog posts from our company website?


author: thais
body: Hi, Paige,

Yes, the [Blog Posts macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/blog-posts-macro-724765162.html ) displays blog posts published on Confluence.

Is there a way to see the most popular terms that are typed into the Help Center search pane?
Asked by Nick Smetana:

I'd like to be able to see what people are searching for most in the Help Center search pane. This way I can use those metrics to figure out what KBs to create, update, delete, etc.

Is this possible? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Glauco
body: Hi Nick,

I'm afraid this functionality is not available yet, but these two suggestions might meet your requirement:

- [Record and List the most popular search terms in Confluence](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-34661)

- [Logged User Search Queries on Confluence](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-28959)

Please leave your thoughts on this matter so that the developers can collect feedback on the feature for improvement. You should also vote on those tickets as the more vote a feature request has, the more traction it will gain. Also, more information about [how Atlassian implements New Features](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html ) can be found on this page.

Is there a way to set up an anchor that won't break after changing the page name?
Asked by Basak:

I'd like to have an anchor that is independent from the page name so I can rename the page later on without making the link to the anchor invalid. I know we can link to the pages using short urls instead of names. I'm wondering if there is a workaround for anchors as well.

How to UNsubscribe from a Confluence calendar that has been added to MacOS Calendar?
Asked by Marc Sarrrel:

I subscribed to a Confluence calendar in Two-Way Sync mode as described on this page:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-apple-calendar-686857285.html>

It appears correctly in my MacOS Calendar application. Now, I would like to UNsubscribe. The usual method is to right click on the calendar in the MacOS Calendar application and choose "Delete" or the like. But, no such option appears for this calendar.

Is there some way to accomplish this from the Confluence side? Or, is there some other way in MacOS Calendar?


Answers:
author: Marc Sarrrel
body: Never mind. I found my own answer. The trick was to go to the Internet Accounts pane is MacOS system preferences, and delete the account associated with that calendar.

Create an anchor
Asked by MAYA ONYANGO:

I want to link a bullet from one document in Confluence to documentation in a different document.


Answers:
author: Emily Errico
body: There is documentation [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/links-776656293.html "Links") on how to link to an anchor on the same page, between pages in the same space, and pages in different spaces.

I hope this answers your question! Reply back to this comment if you need additional help.


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Let me expand the [@Emily Errico](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1395999)'s answer with the example:
> Here goes some text, here goes some text
>
> ...
>
> Here goes another text **\<on the same line we put anchor with the anchor name, let it be also "another text"\>**
>
> ...
>
> And so on

On any other page (or even on the same page), we just create an anchor link and put there the anchor name which is in our case "another text".

And that's it.

When some clicks this link it will lead to the appropriate line.

Hope it helps.

How do I enable editing in MS Office 365 of a Confluence attachment
Asked by Christian Wietholt:

I am running a Confluence server on atlassian.com and my local system is a Windows 10 system with Office 365 for Business. I am testing in Chrome (v67) and Edge (v41), but I am not able to edit documents in Office that are attached to a confluence space/page. This is what happens:

1. I attach a Word document to a space in confluence
2. I open the attachments link of the space behind the '...' menu
3. I see a list of my attachments, but no link mentioning 'Edit in Office'
4. I click the 'Edit file' link and receive a preview of the Word document
5. Upper right corner has an 'Edit With' menu, but when I click it, I only see a spinning circle

This is where I am stuck. The circle keeps on spinning, and I am not able to edit the document. I also tried the Word Macro without any luck. I pretty much followed all steps described here:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Questions/Edit-in-Office-In-Chrome/qaq-p/595832>

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Christian


Answers:

Page tree not working in the Service desk version of my confluence page
Asked by Gilberto Almeida Neto:

We have Confluence pages working as Knowledge Base for our Service desk.

In the confluence page, we used the macro Page tree which works fine when visualizing the page in confluence. However if I open the exact same page through our service desk, the page tree doesn't expand to show the children pages.  

We use the cloud version.  
Anybody experiencing this problem too, or knows a solution?

Last modified macro (user + current page)
Asked by khashashin:

There is a Macro "Recent update". How can I set it to show changes of current page where this macro defined?

I tried to putt in to "Bereich" string like "@self" but it shows me all changes of given user

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25569i4E353E2B245F6BCA/image-dimensions/546x337?v=v2 "image.png")

My goal ist to get a page update info from specific user and current page.

**UPDATE**

I tried something like that

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25582i255E37E6FD326831/image-dimensions/559x345?v=v2 "image.png")


Answers:
author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Concerning your last update, "Bereich" in our case is space, not a single page. So I don't think it would work this way even if there was some 'self-page link'.


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: To view changes on this specific page only put a custom label on it (let's say "12345") and use it in the macro to filter the pages.

comments: author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Here goes the example:

![example.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/25572i69F943D0844A6EC2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "example.jpg")


author: khashashin
body: I have a table with more than 100 cells where I will generate "recent update" info. For ex: if some one from my Team make changes it will show when he made a change. We have to create copy of this page and just edit the title. And if I have to change each time 100 macro to get specific label of the page it will be laborious.


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: I see, but at least you have to do it once.

I don't have any other solution by now, sorry.

Let's see if someone else would recommend something.

I've reproduced the issue and it works well in our environment. Though, it takes a little time to update the information.

How can I remove the <br> from the style macro?
Asked by Wolfgang Lutz:

When I use a "Style" (CSS Stylesheet) macro, the macro adds a line break (\<br\>) to the page.

Example source code:

```
<div class="conf-macro output-block" data-macro-name="style" data-hasbody="true"><style type="text/css">
.myclass {border:1px solid green;}
</style>
<br></br>
</div>

I use Confluence server version 6.6.2 .

Thanks to that you should be able to remove what is not possible to remove from the editor or macro.

comments: author: Wolfgang Lutz
body: Sorry Mirek,

that's not a \<br\> added by user I can remove with the source editor because there is no \<br\>.

The \<br\> will be displayed only in the view mode.

Look at the source code (a copy from the browser). The \<br\> is inside the macro \<div\>.

So why this \<br\> is there?

By the way in my former Confluence versions there are no macro \<div\>. When will they be added?

Synchronize documents between spaces
Asked by Pedro Felgueiras:

Hi to all

We want to to find a way to have a source document in one space, and display it in different spaces.

We have a space for our internal knowledge base with documents that our contributors make.

The big problem is that we don't want to maintain the document in two different spaces.

Is there any product/ solution to solve this problem ?

Confluence Cloud to Confluence Server duplicate ID errors
Asked by Hiten:

Hi Community!

I am in the process of migrating our Confluence cloud spaces to confluence server.

I have done a number of spaces already and ironed out some small issues such editing ExportDescriptor and Entities.XML when the there is a duplicate space ID.

I am now coming across some more complicated issues.

1) a confluence cloud space references another confluence cloud space in which both cloud space ID are present on confluence server. I can change the xml files and Export Descriptor file for the primary space to change the space ID but should i also edit the details where it references the second space and what impact will it have on the reference links.

which gives the error

Import failed. Check your server logs for more information. com.atlassian.confluence.importexport.ImportExportException: Unable to complete import because the data does not match the constraints in the Confluence schema. Cause: PSQLException: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "uk_jp1ad5yufsih5r7lqrygakpug" Detail: Key (spacekey)=('SPACEID2') already exists.

SPACEID2 is the ID of the reference space

eventually both spaces will migrate over so im just trying to figure out the work flow and potential issues

Confluence Database Maintenance
Asked by Dallas Ravelje:

What database maintenance is required to keep Confluence running optimally e.g. index reorganize and update statistics daily, index rebuild weekly? Do the Confluence services need to be stopped during the database maintenance process? We are running SQL Server 2016 SP2.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Dallas,

MS SQL comes with a maintenance plan wizard that guides database administrators through setting up the tasks needed to optimize MS SQL databases. Maintenance plans vary depending on the preferences of the DBAs. I have to defer to your database administrator to ask whether Confluence could access the database as usual during MS SQL maintenance. If the maintenance plan includes operations that take the MS SQL databases off line or make them temporarily unreliable then a Confluence maintenance window would be called for during these tasks.

Confluence doesn't have any special requirements for database optimization. Whatever basic maintenance keeps the database healthy will work for Confluence.

Thanks,

Ann
How to exclude the display of page no. for first pg when doing a pdf export?

I do not want to display the page number on the cover page during PDF export. How can it be done? What is the CCS/HTML codes that I need to add into the PDF stylesheet?


Answers:
author: R. Fuerst
body: Hi Linda - out of curiosity, may I ask how you are exporting the pages to PDF? Are you going to **Space Tools** \> **Content Tools** \> **Export** and then selecting PDF and following the prompts to export the full space or selecting specific pages for export?

I ask because I tested this process in my own Confluence 6.7 installation. When I performed the export through the steps above, I got a table of contents on the first page (with no page number). In fact, none of the pages are numbered by default in the pages exported. I'd like to be sure I understand your use-case here before trying to find a solution. :)

comments: author: Linda Chong
body: Hi Rachel,

No, I went to Space Settings -\> Look and Feel -\> PDF Stylesheet -\> Export space to PDF.

font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
