How can I learn more about using Confluence to create interesting pages?
Asked by Leslie_Jones:

I have been tasked with documenting software using Confluence pages. To learn the basics of Confluence, I took the Fundamentals course, but I have a list of almost 30 questions that the Fundamentals course did not answer. I understand the next level of training is a $400 course that I am considering taking. Are there any other resources available for learning how to master Confluence?

Thank you!

Welcome to Atlassian community.

If you are looking for in depth knowledge then you have to go through the course. But if your interest is in creating pages , then you might want to go through the below page which has some good info about crating pages.

Can I attach an interactive Articulate Storyline project to a Confluence page?
Asked by Leslie_Jones:

I am tasked with documenting various software modules and thought Articulate Storyline labeled graphics would work great for that. Is it possible to attach a labeled graphic (or other type of project) to a Confluence page? If so, how do I go about doing that?

Access logs for a space which has anonymous access

Hello,

We recently implemented anonymous access in one of our spaces in confluence server v7.13.7 but we want to know which machine or IP is accessing the space. Is there a way to find that out?

That's not logged by Confluence. You can do it if you run Confluence behind a proxy and log access by the proxy.

honestly, when you look at your request and definition in a very strict way, you will not be able to use any version of any software. ?

The latest version of Confluence is version [7.18.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-18-release-notes-1115677302.html)

Maybe the [long term support releases](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/long-term-support-releases-948227420.html) are also interesting to you. Then it would be[7.13](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-13-release-notes-1044114085.html)

Instance storage limit vs Archived pages and spaces
Asked by Chris Aldridge:

Trying to fine tune our migration to cloud, we are trying to figure out if we can manage on standard licenses or do we need to go premium, we are already close to the storage limit of 250GB.

My question is, do archived pages and spaces still count towards the total instance size limit?

JIRA Statut display on Confluence for a public user
Asked by Alix Perlinski:

I have several project where my clients need to **know about the progress/ticket's statut.**

++I don't need to access JIRA, in fact I don't want them too!++

But I use to have a pages on Confluence where I put the dynamique link (the one when you type the the JIRA key and it's a dynamique link with the name and statut of your ticket) to list the "Remain to be done" tickets and some more information.

So I need my clients to be able to views this dynamique link and the statut of each ticket, as a public viewer on Confluence.

Is there any adjustment to be made for this to be possible, on the JIRA or confluence side?

At the moment they can only see "Get permission to display Jira" with a lock. And I really don't need them to access JIRA, ++but only the dynamique statut of the ticket.++

NB: I don't want to make an automation where clients receive an email each time a ticket is for "Clients test". I don't want them to have access to JIRA (They don't need all the information) and it's not neccessary and it will cost ten license by client just for cheking a statut

Thank you in advance for you answer


Answers:
author: Jessica
body: Hello [@Alix Perlinski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4981276)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Currently, is not possible to display the Jira issue macro on a Confluence page for users who don't have permissions to see it in Jira.  

To give you more context on it, the macro validates the user trying to see the Jira issue, if they have the permissions to see it.

That means it will only be displayed in the Confluence pages, if the users are able to see it on Jira as well, due to the permissions for those users.

We have this [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-39256) gathering the interest of our users in order to allow Confluence-users only to be able to see the Jira issues, even without access to Jira itself.  

Feel free to vote for it and share any feedback there for our teams!  

Hope this helps clarifying why it is not possible at this moment.  

Regards,  
Jessica

comments: author: Alix Perlinski
body: Thank you really much Jessia for this anwer.

I understand the reason that block the possibility to have the statut available for a user without JIRA access. It's a bummer not to have a workaround.

Nevertheless, it is good news to see that there is a feature that could make it possible and I will go and vote for it.

Best Regards,

Alix

Is there a tabbing system to navigate between pages more seemlessly?
Asked by roy.kellogg:

I have been tasked to set up a training knowledge bank. I would like to make the information assessible without having to load pages. Is there a way that I can set up a tab system in Confluence so the user can just click on the section it desires without having to load pages?


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: I don't know of any tab solution OOTB. However, you can easily leverage links. You could have an intro page that provides a page tree to all child pages. You could use something like \<\< PREVIOUS - NEXT \>\> at the top and bottom of each page.

Insert JIRA Issue - Styling
Asked by LAL:

Is it possible to choose styling for "Insert JIRA Issue" macro?

The macro only offers very limited settings. I only wish to show key and summary from selected ticket, but to do this im either forced to use "Table" which does not allow header customization and tables with just one issue look ugly.

If I were to select "Single Issue" then I cant deselect "Issue type" and "Status" which result in ugly output.

Id want a similar output as with table, but without table borders/headers and "X issues" on the bottom.

Is this possible with Confluence or any addons?

Output of single issue:

![singleIssue.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/204768iE666DBE56C1000D6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "singleIssue.PNG")

Output of table with just "Summary" column:

![table.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/204770iF454CB71A81AEFB7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "table.PNG")

Desired output:

![desiredOutput.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/204771i8D86F2862A375CB1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "desiredOutput.PNG")

It won't be exactly your case, but it is possible to adapt styling closer to the way you want. Please look for advanced table cells formatting hints [here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Advanced+table+cells+formatting?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources%20&utm_vendorID=1216111).

So, in Jira Issues you have two options to show one issue:

![2022-07-06_20h07_16.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/204857i422E8B3D1A5F86DF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2022-07-06_20h07_16.png")

Using Table Transformer it is possible to show one issue in following ways, with/without active link and with/without transposition, two options combined are shown below (please note you can name "Issue" column whatever you want, this is just an example):![2022-07-06_20h09_52.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/204858i42E513ADDEAB359A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2022-07-06_20h09_52.png")

comments: author: LAL
body: Thanks for the reply.

Ill definitely keep this in mind. No link and transposed results would likely fulfil most of my needs.

Im pretty disappointed though that a basic feature like this would require another paid addon/macro, but that just Atlassian being what they are.

Adding template in Wiki space
Asked by Sushmitha:

Hi ,

I have confluence administrator access. I got a request to add template to reporter's wiki space. She shared template ID which comes under her space but is not visible under templates of that space now. Not sure If we are missing something.

I can create new template under her wiki space and copy the contents of template mentioned by reporter but the template id will be changed.

Reporter wants template with same Id as she mentioned in request to be added into her space.

How can I do this ?

Is it possible to get list of all user created templates in confluence ?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Sushmitha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4656691)

**where is the ID coming from and why is it so important to keep the ID?** I'm not sure where templates are stored in the confluence database but I'm sure you can extract that information from the DB. The question is only how hard will it be and is it worth the effort.

If your task is to add a template to the space as a space template, fulfill it. I'm just questioning the point of wanting to keep the ID.

Best, Max

When I say ID ,It is entityID that we can see in URL when we open template.

She want to keep same ID as she will have to update the template IDs where she have specified to create a wiki page from this template..

Is it possible to find list of all user defined templates of different spaces in confluence ?


author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hey [@Sushmitha](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4656691)

Sorry, but I can't be much help here. Fiddling with IDs in general is risky, requires manipulation of the database, and from my experience, is not worth the effort. :/ Would have been faster the macros anyway by now. Nevertheless, a piece of advice from me. Create global templates and not space templates if you plan to share and reuse them. At least that's what I understood so far from your description.

* User A provides template ID in **space A,** and it's a **space template**
* **space B** should have the same template but also only as a **space template**

Best, Max

The above rule was tested and works like a charm.

You just have to replace "Product categorization" with Disposition (Defect) and the values "Hardware" and "CPD" with the corresponding.

issue with automatically creating different and multiple Issue Macros in confluence page
Asked by Alexandra-Mihaela Apostol:

Hello,

I have a Listener in ScriptRunner that based on the create version event in JIRA it triggers the creation of a Confluence page containing several issue macros with different types of information.

Let's assume I have 3 issue filter macros that are created using wiki markup once the Confluence page is created .

The issue is that once the page is created, the 3 tables contain only the values of the first table (so basically the other 2 tables shows the data from the first table even though if I edit the 2 macros from page edit, the correct filter appears in the macro browser).

This might be a cache issue, but I not sure how I should proceed. I already added the cache parameter to false:

{jiraissues:anonymous=false\|url=" + url + "\|columns=type;key;summary;due\|title=" + jiraIssues.get(i) +"Dates\|cache=false}

Can you please help?

Thank you!

author: Alexandra-Mihaela Apostol
body: I found out that there was no issue with the ScriptRunner listener. Issue was solved by using Confluence storage format instead of Confluence wiki markup when creating the 3 filters on the Confluence page. Using Confluence storage format, the filters are refreshed correctly.

My conclusion is that there is an issue from Atlassian when creating multiple macros using the wiki markup in Confluence.

If you are effectively just renaming the company and hence wanting to use a different Cloud URL, you could just change the name of the site to match the new name.

If you do want to "migrate", it's not hard in Confluence - you can export a space to XML that another Confluence can then import. You could also take a full backup of your site and import that into another Confluence (but that would wipe what you have in the target site, so you'd lose anything you've put in there already)

Update to page version/status whenever include page content is updated?
Asked by Lars Costers:

Hi,   

We need to make a technical file for our product, which would consist of multiple confluence pages that often contain Include Page/Excerpts.
