simply select **all the content** of the table, copy with CTRL+C, then paste it at the new place with CTRL+V.

author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi Sebastian,

Try to select the table with some content before and after the table. I know it is extremely difficult to copy a table in Confluence Cloud now, so I add some text before and after the table and then select it and copy.

Subscribing to a calendar (Confluence)
Asked by Marco Gutierrez:

Hi all,

I've created a calendar in our internal confluence environment and created various appointments. I want my colleagues (who all have access to the confluence page) to subscribe to this calendar.

I follow the instructions to subscribe to the calendar (on my mac) but I get an error message: There was an error subscribing to the calendar saying, that the URL isn't valid (although I've copied it from the confluence page).

In the calendar settings there is no restriction but the calendar URL has a "private" in there so I am not sure if this may be the problem. See URL below (I've replaced our companyURL with XYZ and shortened the .ics name.

The data downloaded from <https://confluence.XYZ.com/confluence/rest/calendar-services/1.0/calendar/export/subcalendar/>**private**/022fda6c6b4786165.ics isn't valid.

Any idea what I could do?

Thanks.

Marco

body: Marco,

Is this on Apple Calendars? I assume you obtained the URL [using this method](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/subscribe-to-team-calendars-from-apple-calendar-686857285.html)?

Does this occur with all calendars? What version of Team Calendars and Confluence are you using?

The reason it says **private** is because the link itself is private, but once anyone has the link, they can subscribe to the calendar. This is mentioned on the bottom when you obtain the link:

Where/how do I create a development calendar for our team?
Asked by Nikolai:

Hi, I've read some help articles in the atlassian community, and though they are descriptive of steps, they don't help me figure out how to create a calendar. Unfortunately, all youtube tutorials are based on your old UI, which makes it very hard to figure out.   

We're a Business Intelligence PaaS provider. We build integrations with software vendors that we partner with, and we setup new clients looking to use our platform. I need to create a development calendar where we can visually see all development projects. I don't need it to talk to our JIRA boards, I just need to create a calendar where we can manually input the new projects on a timeline (calendar).

How do I do that?

Also, do I need to source data from somewhere to be able to create something in Confluence? Because we have no 'date data' in confluence right now.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Narvestad,

Are you on Confluence Cloud? You referred to the old UI so I wanted to be sure which product you're talking about.

You can sign up for [Confluence Team Calendars](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/team-calendars) to be able to create an actual calendar, otherwise, you could use the [Roadmap Planner Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/roadmap-planner-macro-724765275.html).

Event Handlers for create pages - Can i set the page tree order?
Asked by shira segal inbar:

Hi,

I wrote an event in scriptRunner, that builds 19 pages under parent page.

I need to have a certain order in the tree for all 19 pages. didn't find a solution.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,

Shira


Answers:
author: Christo Mastoroudes _Adaptavist_
body: Hi,

You can reorder the pages in the page tree manually by clicking the ellipsis button on the top right of the page and selecting "View in Hierarchy". Then you can drag the pages to the order you need.

I don't know exactly how to do this programatically, but it should be possible. I noticed that I can set the position of a page but have not tested it.

```
Page page = new Page();
page.setPosition(1);
```

Please mark this question as answered if this resolves your issue.

Redirect after signup and login in Confluence
Asked by Guido Verbeeke:

Hi all,

Is it possible in Confluence to set the redirection after signup and login?

And if yes, how to do it?

For example:

1) anonymous users -\> page A

2) after login -\> page B

3) after signup -\> page C

Thanks,

I do not know of any way to solve this without an add-on. If you are on Confluence Server, the [Homepage Redirect Add-on](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ch.bitvoodoo.confluence.plugins.homepageredirect/server/overview) by bitvoodoo can help you redirecting different user groups to customized homepages after ++sign in++. Maybe give it a try.

How to make a string of text link to a list of pages that have the same label
Asked by Rhythm tang:

I'm trying to catalogue all the data insights that we have at work. Currently, we have over 30 pages that are tagged with 1 or more labels based on the type of research they are for (Eg. Desktop, mobile, forecasting, benchmarking, etc.).

Right now, the only way for me to pull up a list of all the pages with the same labels is if I click on the bottom right corner label. However, I'm trying to create a summary page where people can just click on the text and they can be linked to the page with all of the pages with that label. I believe this is a more intuitive and scalable way of adding label categories instead of throwing a bunch of labels in the bottom right corner.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Well, you could use the "Labels List" macro in your page to show a list of all labels in a particular space, or you can link to the labels page manually. The formats are like this, where \<baseURL\> is <https://confluence.mycompany.com/> (and sometimes <https://confluence.mycompany.com/wiki/> or <https://confluence.mycompany.com/conf/>, etc.):

For all labeled pages in a space:

```
<baseURL>/label/<spacekey>/<labelname>
```

or for all labeled pages globally:

```
<baseURL>/label/<labelname>
```

so it would look like <https://confluence.mycompany.com/label/SPACE/my-label>

Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi - Out of the box we don't have a way to search Jira issues for links to Confluence pages, but it looks like [ScriptRunner for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner/cloud/overview) does have a way to define [Remote Issue Links](https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_remote_issue_links):
> A primary use case for this is to find issues linking to a particular Confluence page. This allows you to show on your wiki page all the JIRA issues that reference it (but see numerous caveats below). You can do this with either the JIRA issues macro, or the Filter Results gadget.

I look forward to hearing whether that helps with your case.

comments: author: Andrii Duma
body: Hello, I appreciate your work. But I'm shocked why such trivial and basic functionality is still absent? Many people and organizations put the links of Confluence pages into Issues' description. And the ability to see which issues are referring to certain Confluence page is natural. Is it technically hard to implement such feature or there are some another reasons?

Confluence Activity Stream only shows most recent persons activity on a page.
Asked by Mike Buchanan:

I am running Confluence 6.6.1 Server. I and several other people collaborated on a page earlier today and after we were done, in the activity stream, it only shows that I worked on the page.

Just now, I logged in as another user and made a change to the page and in the activity stream, it now only shows that user's activity. There is no mention of the previous activity a few hours ago.

Is this behavior expected? Does the activity stream only display the most recent activity for a specific page and for what time frame (24 hours or something else?)


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Mike,

It sounds like the activity stream is working as expected. It only shows the last change to a page, as it says in [Activity Stream Gadget](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/activity-stream-gadget-218275789.html), it "shows a list of the most recently changed content within your Confluence site."

The macro depends on the [Content index](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html) so it should refresh every 5 seconds. The refresh time frame is configurable, though, using the **Display options: Refresh Interval** property:
> Specify the time interval between each 'refresh' action undertaken by the activity stream gadget. A refresh makes the activity stream gadget reflect any new activity that has been conducted on the Confluence site.

Please let us know any follow up questions.

Cheers,

Ann

Where can i find a list of all my drafts?
Asked by RayAna:

I want to see a list of all my DRAFTS only, in one spot. In old confluence, i could navigate to /users/viewmydrafts.action where it would show me only all of my drafts:

![Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.06.40.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/13518i51CCEE4975EFF6F0/image-dimensions/308x84?v=v2 "Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.06.40.png")

I can't do it in new confluence:

![Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.06.52.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/13519iAEDB820A9AE5EC67/image-dimensions/307x85?v=v2 "Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.06.52.png")

The best it can do is give me /wiki/my/recent-work (by navigating to Confluence\> Your Profile and Settings\> Your Work) but then i have to scroll through to find all of my drafts:

![Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.10.29.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/13520i0D4E6BAC6037E9FB/image-dimensions/252x292?v=v2 "Screenshot 2018-01-29 13.10.29.png")

**Is there a place where i can find a list of all my drafts, and drafts only?**

side note, i still strongly dislike the new confluence design b/c:

1. The design takes up too much space.
2. Page tree is not there by default in the leftnav so i need to create space shortcuts to see them or now i have an extra click to see Pages
3. There is no more Profile \> Drafts page.

System error after copy
Asked by Martin Soderstrom:

I copied a page and its children, appending "\[3.41\]" to the beginning of each page name. Copy seemed to work, and pages appeared in the tree hierarchy, but when I try to select one of the copied pages, I get a system error saying "...Illegal character in path at index 14..." which I'm assuming is because of the square bracket at the start of the page name.

BUT...

How can I rename or delete pages when I can't select them to edit them??

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Marty


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you can work out the page IDs for broken pages, then you can take the url for "delete page" from any page that works, and just replace the id=nnnnnn with the page id of a broken one. This might work for edit, but I don't know if the broken stuff breaks edit, or would just stop you saving it.

I assume you've got some scripting tool, as you can't prefix pages with names during a copy using the built-in functions.

Does the cloud version of confluence restrict multiple people from opening the same document?
Asked by Gabe Columbus:

Trying to determine if the system restricts multiple people from opening the same file to edit? Or does the system allow multiple edits and then merges the changes. Or it always multiple people to open but only 1 can save the changes?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Assuming you mean "attachment" when you say "document", then it is not a document management system and keeps it very simple. You download a doc, work on it and then upload the new copy. Confluence will version each incoming version in the order in which they arrive.

If by "document", you mean "page", then you'll find it has collaborative editing, so you can see what people are doing in real-time, and a save commits everything as-is.

comments: author: Gabe Columbus
body: Document meaning file. So it seems if someone uploaded a new file, while someone still had a version out, it will merge the 2 changes when the second file gets uploaded or only the first save after opening, will get updated?
