Can I edit the sidebar in Confluence Cloud?

Is editing the sidebar an option in Confluence Cloud?

body: [@Daniel McCraine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5191193) Welcome to the Atlassian community

There is very little you can change in the side bar. More information here <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/customize-your-space/>

comments: author: Daniel McCraine
body: In my Manage Spaces control panel I only have Space Details and Export Space. How do I get the other controls? Is that one of the differences between a free and paid account?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Daniel McCraine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5191193) This will be the same for all plans. Are you a Space admin? It sounds like you just have space export permissions and not full admin permissions.


author: Daniel McCraine
body: I created the space. I'm assuming I'm the admin. How would I confirm that?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Daniel McCraine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5191193) If you created the space then you should be the space admin. I am assuming that you are able to add and remove other users from the space.


author: Daniel McCraine
body: Yes, that's true.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Daniel McCraine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5191193) What are all the options you are seeing in the space settings? Can you share a screenshot?

author: Daniel McCraine
body: Oh my goodness, I feel pretty stupid right now. I created the space with a different Google account about 6 months ago, and then quit using that account! When I sign into this Space under that account I have all the controls available!

author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Daniel McCraine](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5191193) and welcome to the community,

A spaces sidebar can be customized but it is quite limited. You can hide certain elements, and shortcuts and reorder pages but that's about it. More on the link that Brant provided.

Api call wiki/rest/api/user?accountId always returns "no matches found"

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Probably you are using the wrog account parameter value. As specified here <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-users/#api-wiki-rest-api-user-get> accountId is : T*he account ID of the user. The accountId uniquely identifies the user across all Atlassian products. For example,**`384093:32b4d9w0-f6a5-3535-11a3-9c8c88d10192`.*

Expand Box in Template not working when Create new page
Asked by Judy Watson:

I have created a Template including an Expand Box. On the Template it is working fine - ie that Title only showing so when click on can view the text.

When I create a page from the Template, the Expand Box appears as the Title and all text showing, and there is no way to hide the text.

What wanting to do is have a Text Box with Instructions on using the page so that new users (or experienced users needing refreshment) can see the Instructions on using the page, but only if they click on the box, so that the page is kept clean of what for experienced users is unnecessary information.

Any advice on how can achieve this be appreciated. Thanks.


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Judy Watson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5121452)

Just a question: Would you be willing to use a text placeholder (which is showing when using the template, but not when published) for giving instructions to the users?

Draft template

comments: author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: And to be honest I wasn't able to reproduce your problem.

1. I created a template with an expand box, with a title and content.
2. Went to create a new page using this template
3. Published the new page
4. Was able to hide/show the text when viewing the page
5. Was able to correct title and content while editing the page


author: Judy Watson
body: Alex - thank you for your reply. The expand box is working fine - I see missed the essential step of Publishing the new page.  
So whilst in edit mode, the expand box is open showing title and content, and cannot close. But once Published, the expand box is by default closed but can click on title to open.

First lesson for the day! Thank you for your help.

How to make a page in Confluence responsive
Asked by Jen T:

Hello!

I have a page that has a banner for an image and a table. There are some anchors that point to section within the page or other pages. When the page is reflowed to 400% via ARC Toolkit, the content becomes challenging to impossible to perceive.

Is there a way to set images and tables to be the width to "100%" instead of a fixed pixel width as it is now?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Jen T
body: I believe I may have found the answer above. There is a responsive and width option. I changed the tables to a width option and will retest using the ARC toolkit.

To restore a page, if not purge, a space admin can go on the space trash and restore it. Instructions here <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/delete-restore-or-purge-a-page/>
> *To restore a deleted page:*

> 1. *Go to the space and choose **Space tools** \> **Content Tools** from the bottom of the* *sidebar*

To find your admin you can:

* Either ask your IT (send an email directly to them) OR
* If they have set up the contact form to visit <https://YOURDOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/contactadministrators.action>

Your admin would be your space admin. That would be owner of that space you deleted the page on. If you are not sure who that is, you would want to contact the Confluence admin of your site, to restore it from trash for you.

How is it possible to administer Confluence without using a license seat?
Asked by Brad Hu:

From the [Confluence Administration (Cloud)](https://university.atlassian.com/student/page/1356777-confluence-administration-cloud-course-description?sid=c38d2190-e217-43d6-907b-ed5efd08b470&sid_i=0) course Users \& groups. "The product admin role exclusively grants someone administrative access to Confluence. They don't use a license seat and can't access Confluence content. They can only administer the product."

I can administer Jira without being able to access Jira content but I cannot find a way to do what the above statement suggests is possible.

I have a standard instance.

Default groups 'site-admins' and 'confluence-admins-\<sitename\>' do not have an admin only option, product access is included.

Creating a group with admin access can only be achieved by adding the Product role 'Product admin' but this role includes product access

Adding to my confusion in the course is the following table with the conflicting info panel below. I can't understand how product access can be separated from being able to administer Confluence only.

![Screenshot 2023-04-07 at 2.48.46 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/250516i29EB81F415744BBB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-04-07 at 2.48.46 PM.png")

To administrate an Atlassian system, you have to be a user of it - your permission to administrate a system is granted to active accounts. You have to log into it to get to the administration settings.

body: Thank you for your welcome message.

"**The product admin role exclusively grants someone administrative access to Confluence. They don't use a license seat and can't access Confluence content. They can only administer the product.**"

Atlassian says it can be done.

In Jira, I can do this. The group 'jira-admins-\<sitename\>' is granted only the product admin role. With this role I can administer Jira but there is no way to access content.

In Confluence, the group 'confluence-admins-\<sitename\>' has both access and admin roles by design and Atlassian is clear that this cannot be changed, this group is similar to 'site-admins' but there is no way to create another group with only the product admin role.

How to combine two tables with no data in common, then edit combined table.
Asked by Moya Alhayek:

I'd like to be able to combine two tables like below

| a | b | c |
|---|---|---|
| a | b | c |

| x | y | z |
|---|---|---|
| x | y | z |

To create

| a | b | c | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a | b | c | x | y | z |

But then be able to further edit the combined table (to add comments and such).


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Moya Alhayek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5190848),  

[@Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781528) has kindly mentioned 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&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app regarding your case, so let me clarify some points.  

If we are talking about native Confluence tables, the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros can collect multiple-row tables with similar headers into one big report. The same can be done with the help of the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and its standard "Merge" preset. As I see from the screenshots, your headers are different, so that is not the case.  

To join tables as you've shown us on the screenshot, you may use the Table Transformer macro and its "Lookup" preset. But your tables (and the third one with comments that you want to add later) should have a key column with unique fields (the simplest one is a ROWNUM() function). You can't join tables without any keys: rows coming from different tables should be somehow matched.  

If you just want to combine the two tables manually and then add comments wherever you need like you can do, for example, in Excel, I can suggest our [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-spreadsheet-macro-83100938.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro. You'll be able to store your tables on different sheets, reuse these tables using cell formulas on another sheet and type in more additional info as well.


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Moya Alhayek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5190848) and welcome,

unfortunately you can't do that using builtin feature. You could try some external app like <https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community>

Creating e-mail automation rule with page content
Asked by David Mayworm:

Hi,

I want to create a automation rule that sends the content of a page as an e-mail when the status of this page has changed.

What smart value needs to be in the "content" field to display the entire page in the email?

The e-mail should look like the normal e-mail notifications for a new page.

![ConfluenceMal.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/250502iF97FABE3259D9DFD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "ConfluenceMal.jpg")

The automation still works if the status has changed, but the e-mail body (logically) is empty...

I have the code, what I'm trying to get are the HTML id's that will allow me to access those fields and make them ready only.

Billing plan for each member
Asked by Riaz Ahmed Sheikh:

Dear Sir;

can we use paid workspace with indovisual features, mean one member of samecworkspace can have plan standard wheather the other can have in same workspace as premiern plan

Regards

Riaz


Answers:
author: Alex W
body: Hey [@Riaz Ahmed Sheikh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4968146) -

All boards created in Trello need to sit in a workspace. Upgrading a Workspace is the primary way of upgrading to a paid plan in Trello, and free workspaces can only have a maximum of ten boards open at a time. When you upgrade to Standard or Premium, all users that are considered billable within your workspace will go towards your monthly or annual bill.

Billable users in Standard and Premium are the following:

* Users that have been added directly to the upgraded workspace
* Multi-board guests: users that have been added to two or more boards in the upgraded workspace

Single-board guests - users that have been added to one board in the workspace - are not considered billable users. You can read more about how billing works with Standard and Premium here: <https://help.trello.com/article/855-how-billing-works-with-trello-business-class>

**tldr**: we do not recommend having more than one upgraded workspace, and a user can't be only on Standard features and another user have Premium in the one workspace. You must upgrade your workspace to either Premium or Standard and pay for all the billable users in that workspace.
