Text Size Increase in Editor
Asked by Sherry Ta:

I was wondering if the new editor increased the size of the "normal text". Is there any way to change this? I prefer to have text at the regular size (like 12 pt).


Answers:
author: Hazwan Ariffin
body: Not in Confluence Cloud, unfortunately. The font size is not really change-able. It only gives you Heading 1 to 6 and a normal text. There's no settings/features to change the font size in Confluence Cloud. :(

Also, I can't find any add on that could help with this as well. I guess we are stuck with the default one!

On the bright side, we have this feature request - [CONFCLOUD-5309: Add font selection capabilities to WYSIWYG editing and Wiki markup modes](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-5309)

And from the latest comment, it seems we have it in the roadmap
> Thanks you so much for all the feedback, and apologies for not responding sooner! This feature is currently tracked on our public facing roadmap here <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html>. To be fully transparent, in comparison with other feature requests this isn't currently in our near term plans to implement. We'll however be keeping a close eye on this as always.

Not sure how they would implement this, but let's keep watching the feature request!

Hope that helps!

comments: author: Sherry Ta
body: Thanks for the answer! My question was actually about the default normal text size seems to be bigger than usual.

Sorry for the bad screenshots, but below is what I mean by the "bigger default normal text size"

And this is what I mean by regular default normal text size.

Is this a new feature of the new editor? I just notice this yesterday while I was making new articles.

Confluence Slack integration - is it possible to turn off notifications for changes made by me?
Asked by Kevin Greenlee:

I'm using the Confluence Cloud plugin to get Slack notifications when someone edits or comments on a page in my space. However, I always get a Slack notification immediately when I make a change to a page, which is annoying since I obviously know I just made that change.

Is it possible to only get notifications when users other than me make changes?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Kevin, welcome to the Community!

The feature to send notifications into Slack was likely thought of in the context of sending messages to a channel. Since it is possible to have messages go directly to a single user (you get a direct message from the Confluence app), I can see how having the ability to filter out changes you made yourself would be useful. This isn't possible right now with the official integration between Confluence and Slack. I've created a feature request for this use-case in our public Jira instance: [API-249](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/API-249)

Cheers,  
Daniel

Unable To Upload Attachments Into Tables
Asked by David_Ross:

We are attempting to upload some .cfg file into a Table on our Atlassian portal however we are repeatedly getting the following error when attempting to insert the files into the table.

![Screen Shot 2020-04-16 at 8.09.47 am.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90615iCEA7DE5D4FF939EE/image-dimensions/578x396?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-04-16 at 8.09.47 am.png")

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@David_Ross](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3867114) !  
As I understand, you are facing a unexpected behavior when uploading \*.CFG files into Confluence pages, specifically when inside tables.

With the behavior description in mind, I tried to replicate it. However, ++*I was able to upload the files and publish the pages*++ . I tried with both \*.CFG and \*.TXT files.  
Here is what I see:
> ![Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 17.17.38.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90997i18E4C54E30100A17/image-dimensions/344x247?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 17.17.38.png")![Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 17.17.55.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90998i9FC6B4B84F8C85DB/image-dimensions/343x320?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 17.17.55.png")

Since the outcome of my test was a negative to the behavior, I would like to ask a few questions for clarification:
> 1. *Is this happening with any file type?*
> 2. *Have you noticed if the behavior is present in another table and page?*
> 3. *Was anyone else affected by this behavior or only your Confluence user?*
> 4. *While using another browser, is the behavior still there?*

Let us hear from you!

Displaying a thumbnail of attachment on page
Asked by Claudia Pinter-Lucke:

I moved an attachment from on page to a new page. Now I want to display it on the new page. I know it is there because it shows up when I use the macro to create a list of attachments. However, I can't figure out how to select the attachment to display a thumbnail of it on the page. When I select files/images, it wants me to upload a file and offers me a list of recent uploads. But this is not a recent upload, it was uploaded two years ago. What am i missing??

Will Confluence 7.3 work with SQL Server 2017 Express
Asked by licensing:

We are looking to change our database to a a supported one for confluence 7.3.5. I see that SQL Server 2017 is supported on the supported platforms page. I am not sure if the edition matters in this case?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: You might be able to get it to work but it would not be supported. Express is a light version of SQL server and has limited capabilities. My guess is at some point it would not be able to handle your instance as it grows.

comments: author: licensing
body: Is it just because of the 10 GB limitation? or are there other things that could cause problems?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: It is for a lot of reasons but the biggest with be around compute capacity, memory pool, cache and no sql agent present. This will seriously limit the throughput and performance of the database. You will also have other limitations for management of the instance that will make it difficult. You can learn more about the differences here: <https://expressdb.io/sql-server-express-feature-comparison.html#sql-2017>

If you have a very small instance with very few individuals accessing it (10 or less users) then you might be ok. If that is the case then you should just look at the free cloud addition.

Unable to restore on New Confluence Install
Asked by Noe Masis:

Our current confluence server has been giving us an issue. We are still actively working on it but we are trying to at least light up another server with the same data.

I have set up a new server with Confluence install. I have been using the embedded Database and will like to get it moved over. Currently on the page where it asked to place the XML zip under the restore file of the new server.

I do not have a manual backup like how it is stated here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf610/manually-backing-up-the-site-952623102.html>

Any way I can back it up manually using the Program Files folder to create my own back and move to the Restore folder? If so, how?


Answers:
author: repi
body: Was the automatic backup function activated in the faulty Confluence?  
If so, the last backup is located under the directory .... / backups as a zip file.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@mgonzalezv](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3866664),

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to meet you.

If your admin has added [Confluence Team Calendars](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/team-calendars) to your Cloud site, then you will be able to add a calendar to a page.

See [Embed Calendars on Confluence Pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcalcloud/embed-calendars-on-confluence-pages-909903939.html) for more details on how to do that.

If your team isn't using Team Calendars, you can also try using the [iFrame Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/iframe-macro-950276528.html) to embed an external calendar using a service, such as Google Calendar.

I hope that helps, but do let me know if you have any questions about that!

Two versions of Atlassian Companion showing installed, uninstalls failed
Asked by Brandon Purnell:

Presently my system has two versions of the [Atlassian Companion](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/install-atlassian-companion-992678880.html) application installed. One appears to have been an MSI install (this one seems to have uninstalled but left remnants behind/unclean uninstall) and the standard EXE.

Is there a clean way to completely remove all of Atlassian Companion and its residual files?


Answers:
author: Alex K
body: Hi [@Brandon Purnell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3866511) ,

The MSI by default installs to:

```
 Program Files (x86)/Atlassian Companion
```

The EXE installs to:

```
%LOCALAPPDATA%/atlassian-desktop-companion
```

Both MSI and EXE store temporary data in:

```
%APPDATA%/Atlassian Companion
```

and the edited files in:

```
C:\Users\<UserName>\.atlassian-companion
```

Companion also creates the following registry entries:

```
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\atlassian-companion
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\atlassian-companion
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\atlassian-desktop-companion
```

You can do a registry search for "atlassian" to locate them. However please note that these are used for both the MSI and EXE.

Licensed user seems less than signed up currently
Asked by Roberto Doneda:

Good evening,

this afternoon a collegue of my tried to create a new space into our Confluence instance but she got a message, reported in first pic named "**++*This Confluence installation is not licensed for additional users.jpg*++** ".![This Confluence installation is not licensed for additional users.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90536iB3B0D54B2F022CBC/image-dimensions/530x175?v=v2 "This Confluence installation is not licensed for additional users.JPG")

So I checked the cause and I found the situation highlighted into second pic named "++***License Details.jpg***++ " where your app reported me that there are 15 users signed up currently against 10 licensed.![License Details.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90539i2572299F55EEC877/image-dimensions/428x247?v=v2 "License Details.JPG")

Users management is made in Jira and only 10 users may logon to Jira, as you can see on third pic named "++***Users with Jira Software Access.JPG***++ ".![Users with Jira Software Access.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90540i4CB83D3C6BBD4880/image-dimensions/502x124?v=v2 "Users with Jira Software Access.JPG")

So, eve iff all users are syncronized with Confluence only 10 have access to it, and it's very strange that Confluence replies in this way.

I surf over blogs to find out a solution but I didn't find nothing.

May I obtain a support from your site to solve this situation?

Upload Zoom Videos onto a Confluence Page
Asked by Kaitlyn Hogan:

Hello,

I used to be able to upload recordings of zoom meetings in a confluence page and show them as links. I had a number of recordings posted as links so that when you clicked on them, the video would immediate load and you could watch the recording.

Now, all those links only show my latest video, so I have lost my old content. In addition, I cannot post any new zoom videos without it converting all of the other videos to the same video.

I have looked at this with my IT department and they think it's a bug in confluence. I think this started to become an issue in early March. I'm wondering if there is 1) any way to retrieve my old content that used to be linked to these pages and 2) how can I post zoom recordings going forward.

Thank you,

Kait


Answers:
author: Nathan Waters - AppsPlus
body: Hi Kaitlyn

I recently built a Confluence macro which auto-embeds pasted Zoom recording links. It also allows your team to centralize all of their recordings into one place.

Check it out: [Zoom Recordings+ for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223133/zoom-recordings-for-confluence)


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Kaitlyn,

Thank you so much for reporting this.

Can you tell me if you're encountering these issues in the legacy Confluence editor, or the new editor? The behavior you're describing might have changed with the new editor, but that wouldn't explain why your past pages weren't working anymore. You would have specifically had to convert them to use the new editor. You can tell if your old pages are using the new editor because the **Publish** button will be in the top-right hand corner as opposed to the bottom of the page.

Secondly, do the Zoom videos that you're uploading have a unique name compared to any other videos on the page? If a new video is replacing older videos, then it's probably being added with the same file name as an existing attachment. Confluence will see this as a new version, rather than a separate video. This behavior would have existed in the previous editor, however.

I would love to know more about your workflow in adding the Zoom videos to the page. Could you walk me through it and let me know how you're attaching the videos, if they all have a unique name, and which editor you're encountering the issue on?

I continue to attempt to assist you here, but we may need to take a closer look at this. In that case, I'd advise you to have your Confluence Site Admin to raise a ticket [with the Cloud Support team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact). That will allow us to access the site and determine what the issue might be and why you would have lost your old content.

Thank you again!

Edit file in Confluence
Asked by Lukas Meyer:

Hi

We just setup a new Page for our documentation in Confluence Cloud. As I know from earlier projects with locally installed confluence, we could edit uploaded files just by pressing these ... in upper right corner. But now in the cloud site I can not see those. Does it no more work to directly edit files if locally installed application is avaiable like word or excel?

Thanks for feedback.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Lukas Meyer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3284218)!  
You are correct. In our Server platform for Confluence the edit of files that are stored within the instance is supported. The edit, however, does not take place within Confluence itself. This feature is implement with the usage of another application called Atlassian Companion App. You can check more details here:
> * [++***\[Confluence Server\] Edit Files***++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/edit-files-170494553.html)

Now, when we take in consideration our Cloud platform, our New Editor (Fabric) does not handle this workflow. The only Confluence Cloud editor that does handle a workflow similar to what happens in the Server counterpart is our Legacy Editor (tinyMCE). For more information on this, you can take a look at this documentation:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Edit Files***++](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/edit-files-170494553.html)

<br />

If the ability to edit files that are directly stored in your site is of great importance to your workflow, you can still use the Legacy Editor. The Legacy Editor is available for all customers, if you instance happens to be part of the smaller number that does not have it enabled, you have ways to request it. You can get more information about it here:

I hope this clears the skies a little bit! Looking forward to your reply.
