Why can't we change the background color of cards?
Asked by GrayDwarf:

There are 30k plus users who want the ability to change the color of cards. Why isn't this a feature? What am I missing? I don't want to install a browser hack just to change a color....  

So... I was about to install this and go on a mini-rant about not having the ability to change my card colors and I finally stumbled across the label feature. Maybe consider renaming this menu item to Color Labels or Color/Labels or Labels/Color or add some color to it to help it stand out so people aren't installing questionable tools to work around a usability issue in your product.

Thank you for your input! Although I would say that the Chrome extension you mention isn't questionable, it's actually really useful.

If you have a feature request, feel free to email [feature-ideas@trello.com](mailto:feature-ideas@trello.com).

Bulk adding observers - and is there a limit?
Asked by schavez:

I have an enterprise account, but a board with members who are not. I want to add up to 2k observers who can 'view' access only the board. The board cannot be public/visible outside the group I designate or invite.

Is this possible, or is there a cap? Is there a cost? Can I bulk add?

Alternatively I want to have a link to the board that only works with the organization I have, is that possible without making everyone enterprise level?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@schavez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2642870) I'm not sure if there's a published limit on members, but you might find that you can't add 2,000 observers.

You can't have a link that works only for an organisation unless everyone you're going to send it to is a member of your team.

If you have a list of emails you could use this Trellinator function to bulk add observers via the API:

How do I turn off Trello notifications in Microsoft Teams?
Asked by marci.fermier:

We've just added our team Trello board to our Microsoft Teams... Team. But now everyone gets notifications for every card, not just the cards we're connected to. Is there a way to adjust or turn off notifications?


Answers:
author: Garrett
body: Hey Marci,

Hm, it sounds like the notifications you're seeing might be coming from the Microsoft side, is that right?

In your Teams settings, you should have an option to change what activity generates a notification for your team. Could you explore that and let me know if you're able to make those changes?

My work IT department are also trying to stop the notifications in teams and have tried in vain with my account log in in trello and Atlassian.

Please help.

Our only option at this moment is to completely close the group and reopen a new one.

Any help please.

Where are the Overview Comments?
Asked by Nigel Allen:

We have a number of spaces were pages have had a comments section at the foot of them and we have been using them actively.

If we make these pages the overview page for the space then the comments all disappear (from the web page).

I have read numerous "explanations" from Atlassian employees that this is "intended behaviour" and that "Overviews are not meant to have comments".

This is obviously BS as the comments are ++still++ there on the page but are hidden once they become an overview BUT they can still be seen perfectly using the Confluence App.

So my question is: How do we get the comments section to re-appear on the web page rendering of an overview?

And in case anyone is tempted to say "demote the page" - that is not what we want to do.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Nigel Allen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1311001)

There is a feature request for this change and it has a couple of workarounds that people have mentioned work. I would suggest voting for the feature and trying out the workarounds. <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-56967>

comments: author: Nigel Allen
body: Thanks for the suggestion Brant.

According to the last comment on that page, the workarounds do not work any more.

What really concerns me is that the initial request was made four years ago.

Added to that, I am pretty sure that you used to be able to have comments on the overview page - in fact we can still see ours from the app. It's only on the web page that they have been disabled.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Nigel Allen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1311001) Sorry I should have looked at the post more closely and tried the solution. I gave it a spin today and was not able to get it to work. There are often older requests that Atlassian implements. It depends a lot on the demand for the request. This one unfortunately does not have very many votes. You did use to be able to have them and at some point they removed them. I would suggest posting to the issue and voting for it.

Is it possible to highlight words
Asked by Glenn Shimomura:

This would be the equivalent of the highlight function in Word or Outlook.


Answers:
author: Darryl Lee
body: Alas no, this is a longstanding feature request:

* [CONFSERVER-27894 - Provide ability to easily highlight text with color in WYSIWYG editor](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-27894)
* [CONFCLOUD-27894](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-27894) (Same bug for Confluence Cloud)

So out of the box, the only thing you can do is either change text color (meh) OR "highlight" words by commenting on them.

Now, because this is such an old request, there is add-on for the dearly departed Confluence Server:

* [Text Highlighter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211827/text-highlighter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=server)

Additionally, there is some clever CSS hackery to "hijack" the subscript style here (I don't know if this still works in either On-Prem or Cloud):

* [Highlight words in confluence text editor](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Highlight-words-in-confluence-text-editor/qaq-p/226033)

Lastly, I will leave you with this rather [epic old discussion](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Change-text-background-color-in-confluence-editor/qaq-p/304768) about this topic. Various macros, workarounds and hacks are discussed (again, unsure what still works, and whether it will work On-Prem vs Cloud. My gut would tell me that most solutions will not work on Cloud).

Fun stuff! But ultimately I think the unfortunate answer is a simple no.

comments: author: Glenn Shimomura
body: Thanks for the info! At least there's a hack!
Is there a way to trigger the admin key on pages that are only edit locked out?

Adding articles to a confluence page
Asked by Kellie Brozyna:

How can I link or add an excerpt from an article to a confluence page?


Answers:

comments: author: Darryl Lee
body: Oof, sorry, Matthias posted the same link as me, but with much better context. :-}

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-widget-connector-macro/>

If yes, you can use the [excerpt include macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-include-macro/) in order to show the excerpt on some other page.

comments: author: Kellie Brozyna
body: No more of an article or blog on the web. Can that be shared to a confluence page in some way? Or embedded, linked?


author: Matthias Gaiser _K15t_
body: You can try embedding them with an **[iframe macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-iframe-macro/)**. With that macro, you can basically embed any webpage into a Confluence page.

However, some websites are configured in a way which prevents them from being embedded via an iframe (see Known issues on the linked page above).

Does that do what you'd like to achieve?

CSS to Vertical Align Icons in Info, Note, Warning or Tip Macros
Asked by Andrea Rodriguez:

Has anyone figured out the CSS to get the icons for the Info, Note, Warning or Tip Macros to vertically align in the middle of the macro div? I've tried setting the top to 50%, but this doesn't work, and the height of the parent is generally variable.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Andrea Rodriguez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4584001) Welcome to the Atlassian community

I played around with the CSS to see if I could change the alignment. The issue I ran into was the CSS hierarchy for that element. It would never align properly because of the other css elements being used to place it on the page. I think you would have to re-write the whole tip macro css to get it to align how you are hoping.

Is it still not possible to add Comments to image files within Confluence pages?

Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Emily Berg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4210574) ,

We can suggest adding an extra step to the case - the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro.

![Fri 11-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/168085iE82FF3752F700671/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Fri 11-1.png")

Via the Table Transformer macro you simply merge the two tables as [@Grigory Salnikov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1323725) has suggested. And via the Pivot Table you group the result table by the SR Key.

![Fri 11-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/168086iB6EA4F651B71F757/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Fri 11-2.png")

Here we use the bullet point for items - so it is easy to see how the result table was grouped but you can always change it in the Pivot Table macro settings.

The second option may be using the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro on top of the Table Transformer. There you may set the reversed filters and hide all the empty cells from the result table. But you will loose the SR-56 line - both PR keys for this SR key are empty. If you don't need such lines, then it may be another workaround for the case.


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Hi [@Emily Berg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4210574) !

"Merge tables" should do or SQL query

Unfortunately, that is not the output I am looking for - your suggestion returns the following:

If keeping empty records is not necessary I would suggest the following:

```
select * from T* where 'PR Key' IS NOT NULL

Can we have multiple tabs on the code snippet
Asked by Cheng Peng:

I am trying to replicate everything we do on Gitbook to confluence page, and not sure if the code snippets support multiple tabs.

In my attached screenshot from Gitbook, I could do code on one tab, and put the code output result in another tab.

Asked by Therese Kr?nkl:

Hi, I am still new to Confluence and have the following problem: Until now I have always worked with Notion. There I had a list for my weekly calls. Per appointment I had one row in my table. Each call had a subpage with the content, a multi-select with tags for the participants, topics and the date.

**My Question:** Can I have a multi-select with tags in Confluence? I want to be able to quickly select the topics discussed from a list of existing tags. The same goes for the participants.
