How to track Links to internal Confluence pages in the same space?
Asked by Lisa-Marie Herndorf iFD GmbH:

In my Confluence space, I link some internal pages multiple times to superior pages (categories). I'd like to have an overview of all the links to internal Confluence pages.

Is there a tool or plug-in where you can track links and see how often and where they're used? I already tried the [Link Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224660?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) tool from Lively Apps.

But all of the Links in the overview are displayed as URL. Can I change the URL in the overview somehow to the title of the internal page or is there any tool that can do that?

Welcome to Confluence!!

You can find the Incoming links in Page Information

![ZXC1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/181837i41F0CDD00BF82BFF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "ZXC1.png")

To exactly know only the incoming links from inside a space you would need to filter the data.

This can be done either via APIs available or marketplace apps.

Thanks

welcome to the Atlassian community!

first of all, a Confluence Admin need to check permission for your user. In particular you should be able to access Confluence trhrough a Global permission (can use) and then specific permissions for page/space you are trying to access

Here a simple article that explain how to manage permission in Confluence <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/understanding-permission-in-confluence-979403839.html>?

How to apply SQL code to a certain row, Table transformer
Asked by Ksenia Potroklova:

Good day!

I have a table and would like to apply a code only to 2d row, and all further rows without code.

My current code is below

SELECT \*,  
(T1.'SC' - "120d")::Date-\>toLocaleDateString("en-AU") AS 'Verg specials',  
FROM T1

when i publish it, all other rows get result invalid date

![Knipsel.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/181601i54C1C30BE71C22C3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Knipsel.PNG")


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi there,

As this question mentions our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community) app, we are happy to introduce its new macro -- [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro?utm_source=atl_community).

This new macro allows you to work with fully functional Excel spreadsheets right in Confluence. You'll be able to use cells' formulas, filters, conditional formatting, etc., create pivot tables and charts from the page view and edit modes.

The Table Spreadsheet macro is available for Cloud and Server/Data Center.

![](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/download/attachments/83100938/Conditional%20formatting.png?version=1&modificationDate=1641987630000&api=v2&effects=border-simple,shadow-kn)


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Ksenia Potroklova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4742870) ,

Try to use conditions to exclude other rows - for example, here I exclude empty cells:

SELECT \*,  
CASE WHEN T1.'SC' IS NOT NULL  
THEN (T1.'Date' - "120d")::Date-\>toLocaleDateString("en-AU")  
END  
AS 'Verg specials'  
FROM T1

I also see that your third row is meant to contain text - maybe it will be better to rethink the table structure? The Table Transformer macro works with columns, not with rows. So, you may split your table into two tables, work with the part that contains dates (wrap it into the Table Transformer macro) and then with the help of another outer Table Transformer macro combine the tables back with the help of the standard Merge preset?

Do we have an automated way to archive confluence pages which not updated more than xx days

Hello Friends

can any one let me know if we have an automated way to archive confluence pages which not updated more than xx days.

That is a de-facto Content Lifecycle Management app for Confluence for many years now. It provides you with customizable archiving and content monitoring/notification rules for not viewed, not updated pages and archives the ones you specified automatically.

It also helps you get a better view of your Confluence content health:

Currently, the Archive page option is manual.

There's no way to identify the pages updated or whether it's active (by means of users opening the document). It's either via Analytics which is manual or by navigating to each page and getting the data

Once the Automation feature is released, this feature may come into existence. until then let's cross our fingers and wait for it.

Formatting of numbered lists
Asked by Sasko Moraliev:

Hello,

gibt es eine M?glichkeit die Nummerierung zu formatieren? Z.B. Fett gedruckt und eine etwas gr??ere Schrift?

Leider sieht das aktuell nicht besonders gut aus - die Nummerierung ist kaum vom Text daneben zu unterscheiden, bzw. zu erkennen.

Vielen Dank und sch?ne Gr??e

Sasko

*** ** * ** ***

Hello,

is there a possibility to format the numbering? E.g. bold print and a slightly larger font?

Unfortunately currently it doesn't look very good - the numbering is hardly distinguishable or recognizable from the text next to it.

Thanks a lot and best regards

Sasko


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: [@Sasko Moraliev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4703495)

It isn't supported at the moment

You could consider add-ons for formatting the table numbering


author: Bill Bailey
body: Sch?ne gr?sse [@Sasko Moraliev](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4703495) , unfortunately, you have hit on one of the many limitations with the cloud version -- no custom CSS. There are some third-party plugins that *may* do what you want to do:

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud\&product=confluence\&query=CSS](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=CSS)

comments: author: Nicholas Wade
body: Just a point about the 3rd party solutions. The license for a 3rd party solution is based on the number of users - therefore, when you see ?4 or ?5 etc for license, it is not as cheap as you think, because you automatically get charged for the TOTAL number of users in your company (even if it is just you that needs the app). We have around 200 or more users.... that makes getting a 3rd party app incredibly expense - and all just so that you can continue a numbered list ... what a load of rubbish. It is especially galling when the actual HTML code for continuing a numbered list is so simple!

And I note that inserting a code snippet doesn't break the numbering, so someone there has a solution?


author: Bill Bailey
body: [@Nicholas Wade](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4693837) what you say is true, but the question was about changing the formatting of the numbering, not breaking the numbering. So the apps I pointed to were about customizing the CSS.

If you just want to keep the numbering going, you can use soft returns (although I have seen some posts that indicate the new editor has broken that solution).

Now this points out the issue with the Cloud. On server/DC, you can just create custom CSS, either instance or space wide. Or you can create a user macro for localized cases -- all part of the out of the box solution.

So for a user base of 200, I would move to DC, pay the money, but gain a much more robust and flexible solution. Cloud has many limitations.


author: Nicholas Wade
body: Yeah... thanks for the advice, I'll tell our Director that he's bought a lemon and should go back to rusty nails and stone tablets then.. Oh and yes, I was talking about the app but got mixed up... I'm so steamed up about daft advice and a useless Confluence Cloud (the fault was reported 2 years ago) that I can hardly see straight.

When creating a JIRA issue using confiform, how do I set a field to use issue create date?
Asked by Vijay Joseph:

Hi,

I am new to this community, but have read through and have made a good progress in my confiform. Thank you.

I have a form with user input and creates a jira issue. When that jira issue is created I want Planned Start date field in jira to populate the time the form was submitted.

Appreciate your help. Thanks


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Vijay Joseph](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2103090) and welcome to this community

Jira expects the (date) field to be in a certain format, ConfiForms has a function to support you there - *jiraDate* (<https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions>)

If your "Planned Start date" is a custom field then you need to figure out what field it is - the inner name for it. Easiest way to do that is to use "jira issue mapping" heper services we have in ConfiForms - <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Creating+Jira+issue+from+Confluence+with+ConfiForms>

Bulk removing your Watched pages/spaces, Save for Later, and Drafts
Asked by efavreau:

Reviewing my Atlassian Confluence profile within our enterprise install, I see a lot of detritus out there. Years worth of watched pages, watched spaces, Save for Later, and Drafts. Looking for a solution to any of it, I found code from 2014 on this page from a deleted user: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Bulk-Unwatch-pages/qaq-p/248164>

That idea was the nudge I needed to help me create additional derivative snippets, and package it all together in one post, in hopes of helping others.

**Environment** :  
All snippets were successfully ran on Atlassian Confluence 7.4 Enterprise

**Tools** :  
Your browser's Developer Tools console

**Directions**:

1. In your web browser of choice, open the Developer Tools and get to the "Console" (Use a DuckDuckGo search if you can't find it)
2. In the console, near the "\>\>" or "\>" (depending on browser), paste in the code and hit enter.
3. Repeat as often as needed.

**What each code does**:

The code uses the class of the hyperlink to click matching links for the user, and then a reload of the page, which displays the next page of items. Note that the number of pages is now reduced by one.

It is not a one-click solution, but it is much faster than clicking one at a time. \>10k items that were out there for years, were cleaned up in minutes. Good luck!

**Disclaimer**:

Mostly likely you have no reason to trust me or my writing (or anyone else's writing, etc.). So don't. Don't use these code snippets or any code anywhere if you don't understand it. If you use it, it's on you. Test. YMMV.

Is it possible to do a Confluence site export and then selectively import spaces to a new site?
Asked by John Waterman:

I have 100+ spaces to export, but I don't need everything in our new instance. Can I do a full export, then, during import, just get what I want out of it? Also, there is some data in the new instance. Can I do this without overwriting existing content as long as I name the spaces appropriately?

Thanks,

John


Answers:
author: Peter DeWitt
body: [@John Waterman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4740140) , You can't selectively import spaces from a site backup. Additionally, a restore will over-write existing data. You would need to export / import each space individually.

One thing you could do is delete unnecessary space before the site export and then when you import, you'll obviously only have the spaces you want.

You could also combine multiple spaces into one, export/import and then break the spaces apart.

Neither of these are quick solutions but can work to get your end result.

Here's an article on exporting and importing an individual space:
