Is there a software download archive for sourcetree?
Asked by Slawomir Chodnicki:

Hi,

Quick question whether there is any official download page for source-tree 1.8. After updating to 1.9 sourcetree really gets in the way, diminishing my productivity. I'd like to switch back to 1.8.

Thanks!

How to merge an already (partly) merged branch?
Asked by Che Fisher:

Hi all,

This is a bit of a complex problem but I'll try to keep it short.  

I merged a branch (lets call it X) into my working branch (lets call it Y). Now, unfortunately for me I have to go through each file from X and check if it's 'safe' to use - discarding chunks from certain files, keeping other lines, etc.

While working on Y -- through Sourcetree -- I have been staging files and committing (and pushing) once I know they are 'safe'. So I have a remote and local branch (Y) that is now almost completely good to go.  

Then something bad happened and I removed the remaining 'yet to be cleaned / checked' files from my unstaged changes and restarted Sourcetree - I did this thinking that when I remerged X, it would detect that Y had already accepted most of X's files (or that I hade made changes -- making them more up to date than X) and display those remaining files that had yet to be staged from before. This did not happen.  

I now have all the changes I have 'cleaned' / saved and committed, but remerging X does nothing - Sourcetree seems not to recognize that X and Y still have differences and that Y doesn't have newer / more up to date files than X (in some cases).   

This is despite the fact that running git diff X..Y shows all the differences I need to track!!!!   

Please help  
Foxy

author: Che Fisher
body: Okay I managed to figure this out... mostly by accident haha.  

So since my current 'remote' and working copy branch (Y) had all the changes I wanted, I reset branch Y to a state PRE merge with X, but as 'mixed' (keep working copy changes).  

This allowed me to just re-commit the working copy changes to Y and then merge from X (had to do a force push to update the remote branch Y but this was no biggie). The remaining files (which I had yet to clean) now appeared again, letting me finish my days work.  

If anyone else has this issue, this will hopefully solve it for you too.

New SourceTree 1.9
Asked by Dharmesh Patel:

How can i go back to the old view or old version 1.8.x? The new UI is good for certain things but i feel a step backwards in a couple areas. For instance not being able to see the filename first is a problem for long paths, also, unstage and stage areas are much harder to distinquish. Ability to drag and drop removal is also a negative in my opinon between staging and unstaging. Please let me know how I can roll back.

Thanks,  
Dharmesh

Turning a blog back into a page
Asked by Angela Wertz:

Hello, somehow I accidentally turned a page in my space into a blog. I cannot find any way to convert it back. Looking for some assistance with reverting to the previous version. Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@Angela Wertz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5205470) welcome to the community!

You cannot convert a blog to a regular page. Here is the suggestion ticket raised to Atlassian which you can upvote:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-72088>

As a workaround, you can go to your blog post and select all (CTL+A) of your content and copy (CTL+C) and then paste (CTL+V) it to a new page.

comments: author: Angela Wertz
body: Thank you for the assistance! I used the workaround for the time being.

Why does the Confluence Doc keep jumping to random places while scrolling?
Asked by rzw3ch:

Does anyone know the reason while reading a confluence document the page will randomly jump to another part of the page? It is crazy to me that I have to continue scrolling back to what was being read before.


Answers:
author: Rilwan Ahmed
body: Hi [@rzw3ch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262865) ,

Welcome to the community !!

Please check if there is any redirection/HMTL macro added on the page.

Confluence admins/space admins/ Page creators can check


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@rzw3ch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262865) I noticed this last week when editing a few pages in Confluence Cloud. I would scroll down on the page, and it would then jump back to the top before I could place my cursor where I wanted to write. I had not experienced this before (have been writing steadily in Confluence for more than 3 months), so I just thought it was to do with the issues Atlassian was experiencing last week.

Since I'm on Cloud and you're on Server, I don't know if we're seeing the same thing. If we are, it is probably not due to the issues, since I believe they were only related to Cloud.

I will pay attention to see if this happens today and try to note any circumstances when it occurs.


author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@rzw3ch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262865) welcome to the community!

Have you clicked on hyperlinks by any chance? what version of Confluence you are using? Is this issue reproducible by other users in your organization?

comments: author: rzw3ch
body: Haven't clicked on many links, but I have a fair few Jira tickets linked to the page.

Confluence Version:

* Powered by [Atlassian Confluence](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 7.19.0

Yes, this seems to be a common behavior people experience


author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@rzw3ch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262865) is the issue reproducible with different browsers? or it is specific to a certain browser?

Page Properties Report breaks formatting
Asked by Logi Helgu:

Page properties reports don't format content correctly (special characters, links (not displaying links/name of Confluence pages, but just URLs) and other formatting is broken).

Apparently I can't file a bug anymore (guess Atlassian have finally given up :D

Don't know how to get this reported to Atlassian (to start my waiting period ;)

But this is really annoying since it breaks all sort of usage of the otherwize great features of Page Properties and PP Report :)


Answers:
author: Logi Helgu
body: Characters are reported in <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-74358> but I wanted to add that links are also broken (don't show the names of the Confluence pages (as on the PP table) but just a URL to the page is shown in the PPR)

Export all Spaces from Confluence Server to a production Datacenter
Asked by Michael Johnston:

Can someone point me to how I can export all the Spaces I have on a Confluence Server so that I import them into a production Confluence Datacenter? I've looked under Backup \& Restores, but I don't want to restore the entire site, and I don't see an option for Spaces, as some documentation I read says there should be. I only need the Spaces on this server.

I have seen that I can use the space tool to export individual spaces, but I have a long list and don't want to have to do them individually if I can help it.


Answers:
author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@Michael Johnston](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5196332) Are you using Confluence 8.3+ by any chance?

If yes then you can [create multi-space backup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-8-3-release-notes-1236928237.html?utm_campaign=confluence_bugfix&utm_medium=email&utm_source=confluence_bugfix#Confluence8.3ReleaseNotes-backupandrestoreFaster,simpler,andmorereliable:anewwaytobackupandrestore) .

comments: author: Michael Johnston
body: Unfortunately, I'm on 7.18.1. This server is unsupported and will be decommissioned after I've gotten the Spaces migrated to our new Datacenter server. Looking more and more like I'm going to be migrating each Space individually. :/

I really appreciate the response!


author: Evgenii
body: Hi, [@Michael Johnston](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5196332)

Try this:

<https://your.confluence.site/spaces/exportspacewelcome.action?key=SPACEKEY>

It's page in space, where you can make export file for space

comments: author: Michael Johnston
body: Thank you for the reply, Evgeniy!

I'm sorry, I'm petty new to Confluence, so excuse my ignorance. Wouldn't this still do each Space individually?


author: Evgenii
body: Yes, if you want to export several spaces, you have to do it for every space.


author: Michael Johnston
body: Thank you, Evgeniy. I'm actually looking for a way to do them in bulk. I've seen how to do it using the Space Tool individually. Seems like there should be a better way to do this without having to do one by one.

Advanced Search by labels
Asked by Sandra Bellemare:

Is there a macro to do an advanced search by labels with labels of a specific space showing as options (similar to shopping website with filter options (filter by available sizes, available colors for example)?

I found the advanced search has a filter option to add a label but we have to know the label to write in the search box.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Sandra Bellemare](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5208617) You are correct that there is nothing that just lists the labels in search and allows you to select them. You have to know the label that you are looking for. You can begin typing and it will provide a list of labels as you type though.

comments: author: Stavros_Rougas_EasyApps
body: [@Sandra Bellemare](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5208617) [Label Manager by Easy Apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1232224/label-manager-by-easy-apps?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) filters content by label. Search and get a result including link to the page as part of preview.

It also adds labels in bulk, removes and merges.

You can get the features as one of numerous features in [Space Content Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226657/space-content-manager-find-and-replace-label-manager?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

I followed a user because of suggestions panel but am unable to find how to unfollow
Asked by Wiebe:

I have followed some users because of the "improve your feed" suggestions but can't find unfollow a user anywhere. I don't have the "network" option described in some other issue.

Some other questions I see this might be because of GDPR compliancy reasons, but if this "network" option was disabled because of that, why on earth is it still possible to follow users at all?

Home page Space does not load
Asked by Petra van der Heij:

I don't see the text on the homepages of my Spaces. The homepages appear quickly and then disappear. Is this a setting issue?

There is an active incident for Confluence at the moment which is probably causing the issue you are experiencing:

comments: author: Petra van der Heij
body: Thanks for the welcome! I am aware of the active incident, though Ive been experiencing this problem for more than a week though and my colleagues are not experiencing the same problem.


author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: [@Petra van der Heij](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262479) then lets try a couple of troubleshooting steps to narrow down the root cause:

* Are you by any chance using a VPN? If yes then temporarily disable it and see if that makes any difference
* Login to your Confluence in incognito mode and see if you are able to reproduce the issue
* Check your browser console logs and see if you get an error when viewing the home page


author: Petra van der Heij
body: Dear Sayed,

Thank you for the suggestions you gave me to solve my issue with the home page. The problem seems to be that I am using Safari. If I log in to Confluence on Google Chrome I do see the homepage. I have decided to use Confluence in Chrome from now on.

Have a great week!

Account Deletion

Answers:

author: Valeriia_Havrylenko_SaaSJet
body: [@Burcu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5206636)

If you were not paying for your Jira subscription, if all the Jira products on your site were under the Free subscription, and it had no activity for 120 days then the product is deactivated, as per [this document](https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/docs/track-storage-and-move-data-across-products/#What-happens-to-Free-plan-products-if-they--x27-re-inactive-for-too-long).

As per the details in the [Answer on this post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/If-your-site-continues-to-remain-inactive-it-will-be-deactivated/td-p/2043944), a site with no paid products and where all products have been deactivated will be deleted entirely after 162 days. The data cannot be recovered at that point.

For example, if you log in and view a dashboard, report, Jira admin screen, or issue, any of those would count as activity. To keep your site active, log in, and view something to restart the 120 days.

How can I move Jira from a local server to an Atlassian cloud without losing anything?

Answers:
author: Valerie Knapp
body: Hi [@Douha Mhanna](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5262342) , welcome to the community and thanks for your question. There is an app you can install in the Jira server, the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant, that should guide you through the process for how to move to the cloud.

[Jira Cloud Migration Assistant \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222010/jira-cloud-migration-assistant?tab=overview&hosting=server)

However, I think this is generally something you would have a partner help you with, depending on the complexity of your setup.

You need to enable anonymous access under **Global permissions** (i.e. Admin settings --\> Global Permissions, Direct URL: https://\<baseURL\>/wiki/admin/permissions/global)

It sounds like it is an issue with how the JS or CSS is loading. What you referenced is from 2019 and there are most likely a number of changes to those in the application so there might be a conflict. When you inspect the page are you seeing any errors?
