Sourcetree is really slow on my Mac
Asked by Frances Morales:

Sourcetree has all of a sudden gotten really slow? It is slow to start up, and staging file and other actions like that results in a busy spinner that lasts for 30 to 90 seconds. How do I begin to troubleshoot this? This is on OSX.


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hi Frances,

We get spurious reports of this happening. In some cases it's just SourceTree configuration, and in others it's an unknown. Here's some things to check:

1. Have you got adequate system resources? Hard disk space, main memory etc.
2. Have you got many repositories in your bookmarks or open?
3. Are you using embedded or system Git/Mercurial? If system, what version(s)?
4. Have you got many untracked files in a repository/repositories?
5. What filters are you using in your SourceTree views? i.e. 'Show Untracked'
6. Where are your repositories located? Locally on your hard disk or on a network drive?

That should get us started for now. The feedback on these will help us further determine the problem.

Thanks very much in advance!


author: Toland Hon
body: It turns out because I had 30 or so stashes, Sourcetree was running extremely slow. Once I cleared my stash, everything was spiffy again.


author: Tim Osborn
body: Hi, I've noticed a slow-down recently, too... Not sure if its repo specific, but anecdotally, it seems that ST has been slower in the last few weeks(?) than it has been this past year.

This thread looks more recent than the [more active thread](/questions/135507/sourcetree-painfully-slow), so I'll post here..

My issue may be that I'm tracking my Vendor directory in a Laravel4 / Composer project (which is [not recommended](http://stackoverflow.com/a/17499192/2586761)). I've just untracked and ignored the /vendor directory, so I'll see if that helps...

...but initial feedback is that now my /Vendor directory does not display with any filters, not All, untracked, or Ignored.. that'd be a separate ticket...

The ignored files show using the command

```
git ls-files --others -i --exclude-standard
```

([via](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/466764/show-ignored-files-in-git#comment6832677_467053))

Cheers, Tim  
My system:  
1. OSX 10.8.5, 16gb RAM, 75gb free on 500gb SSD,
2. Have you got many repositories in your bookmarks or open? Only 1 at a time
3. Using embedded Git: 1.7.11.1, SourceTree 1.7.3
4. Have you got many untracked files in a repository/repositories? None
5. What filters? Usually Pending, 3 line preview
6. Where are your repositories located? Locally

SourceTree: "For security reasons, you need to distribute your appcast over SSL or sign your updates. See Sparkle's documentation for more information."
Asked by Karim Varela:

I started getting this error today and not sure why. It's preventing me from connecting to our git repo. Any suggestions?


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hi Karim,

A bad download can cause this to happen. We haven't had any reports of this problem as of yet. Could you try re-downloading SourceTree and trying again? If it's still problematic we can work from there.

Thanks very much in advance


author: Scott Davey
body: The problem is back (for me at least) as of the 1.9.3.1 update. I downloaded and installed freshly and that fixed it.


author: Jonas Due Vesterheden
body: 1.7.2 fixes this. Thanks!


author: Jonas Due Vesterheden
body: Yes.

Something weird is going on - if I have the app running already when using stree, it seems to launch a new application instance, showing the Sparkle dialog.

I tried reinstalling the stree utility and using it directly from the application bundle without any luck. Is there anything else I can do to help find the cause?


author: Jonas Due Vesterheden
body: I have the same problem, but only when I launch SourceTree from the command line (using stree).

I have tried deleting and redownloading the application, but it doesn't help. Any other suggestions?

comments: author: KieranA
body: Does the application work OK if you're not using stree?


author: Karim Varela
body: Thanks Kieran, this fixed the problem.

properties defined by a 'Easy Dropdown Menu' Macro not detected in a page properties report
Asked by EtienneD:

Hi,

I have a template with a table bearing properties so that I can make reports on them. I use that template to produce my pages.

One of the properties of the pages ('Criticality') is filled thanks to a predefined 'Easy Dropdown Menu' Macro.

Strangely, in the page properties report, 8 pages (over about 300) do not show any 'Criticality' value whilst the 'Criticality' property is well defined (not left blank) in those pages.

Therefore, any report made that page properties report (i.e 'pivot table' or 'chart from table') show that 8 pages have a blank 'Criticality' which is obviously wrong.

I have tried to copy the 'Easy Dropdown Menu' Macro from another page, and to change its value, with no success.

Any idea or help will be welcome.

Thanks for your help


Answers:
author: EtienneD
body: Finally found the reason for that strange behavior on those few pages: a badly drawn properties table on those pages.


author: Matt
body: Are any of the limitations listed here at play?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html#PagePropertiesReportMacro-Limitations>  

For these pages not showing a value, is the 'Criticality' dropdown within an expand macro or some other type of nesting?  

Could another option, such as the Status macro, work for your needs?

comments: author: EtienneD
body: Thanks for your answer, Matt. I've learnt some interesting things in your links.  
However, that behavior comes from a badly designed properties tables in those pages (and as I wasn't the author of those page, the reason why there were designed in a different way will remain a mystery to me :-/)

Compare versions of the same page
Asked by Catarina Gomes de Almeida:

Hello

I want to campare two versions of the same page in confluence with all of the context, not only with changes a person made.

I want to see all of the document, not only the changes made.

It's possible?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Kris Dewachter
body: Hi [@Catarina Gomes de Almeida](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5244598) ,

Yes, by default you can the the entire page, including the changes.

On your page, select "Page History" below the 3-dots menu item in the top-right of the page.

There you can select the versions you want to compare.

Best regards,

Kris

Is it possible to set page restrictions for system admins?
Asked by Chris K:

Dear Community,

Is there a way to restrict systemadmins from viewing a confluence page in Data Center?

I found some content that there should be a possibility to restrict systemadmins from viewing pages (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-confluence-system-admins-view-restricted-pages-if-its-not/qaq-p/593940#U2390490>), but I can't agree on that for our system.

As a system admin, I am able to see all pages, even with restrictions. We are currently searching for a solution to restrict pages, even for system admins.

Do you have any ideas?

Greetings

Chris


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Chris K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5117457)

Making a page restriction to a page still make sense since this page it not showing in the search for super admins (you need to have a direct link)

But I suggest checking if you use **confluence-administrators** group..

This is a special group that gives highest possible permissions including access to all spaces including those with restrictions.. **You might consider removing users from that group and see if that helps.**

So overall there is also a big difference between Confluence Administrator, System Administrator and a member of a confluence-administrator group.

More information you can find in below documentation

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html#GlobalPermissionsOverview-Confluence-administratorssupergroup>

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-admin-permission-levels-explained-604209420.html>


author: Evgenii
body: Hi, [@Chris K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5117457)

It's possible, but pointless, because System Admin can always remove restrictions.

To check, that restrictions can be set - try to set restrictions on page, that only you can see and edit it, and ask your colleague to check, can he see it or not.

comments: author: Chris K
body: Hi [@Evgenii](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3993514)

Thank you for your reply. I checked and my colleague (who is also admin) sees the page I restricted without even the need of changing the page restriction.

Restricting a page may seem pointless, but it would still be great to restrict pages for admins, because we have use cases, where they aren't supposed to see confidential sources (at first sight). If a page is restricted we eliminate the case, that confidential information is opened by mistake. For everything else, the admins need to be trusted.

In Jira, we solved this via issue security level, there it works just fine.

Greetings Chris

admin user
Asked by sara karimi:

Dear All,

Our organization has recently launched Confluence. every thing works fine. but suddenly admin user can not manage users and change setting and after a while admin user cannot login!!! a short time after LDAP configuration, admin user stopped working.

is there any restrictions for admin user(Email, account, ...)

our admin user is LDAP user.

is there any Idea?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Mihai Schwarz
body: Hi [@sara karimi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5244343) ,

You should have an local admin user account located in the Confluence Directory which you used to set up your On Prem solution. If somehow you've deleted that or you don't know the password to it, you can always use the recovery admin which will have enough rights for you to start investigating what happened.

Please check this article <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf81/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-1209875551.html>

Space Author Change
Asked by David Turner:

Hi I have a space page where I wish to change author as they no longer work on project.  

1) How can we give admin access back to user myself, it says we are on a free plan but when I try to upgrade it gets stuck in a loop.  

2) How can we edit author to myself on space pages?  

Regards, David.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@David Turner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5244409) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Authors of pages, spaces and comments cannot be updated from the original licensed user that published the space/page/comment. They remain in perpetuity, even after a user has had their license removed or has left the organization.

Regarding setting yourself as Admin, how are you trying to complete the upgrade from your free plan? The only way to set page and space permissions would be to upgrade to standard. If you are having issues with the upgrade we can tag in Atlassian resources to assist. Please provide some details on what you are doing.

Just to be clear though, even after upgrade you would not be able to change the page/space author, so you may not want to complete the upgrade at all.

comments: author: David Turner
body: Thanks Andy.  

Further to this, I worked out a solution by creating a new space page altogether and not worrying about the pre existing page.  

Now, the only thing is, we wish to change permissions on the new page, but I cannot see access to this for the standard user licence we paid for ?  

Its showing another site we have, say Site 1, and not the correct site to change access (Site 2)?  

"'  
Space permissions are only available on paid plans  
You're on the free plan, so you can't change the space permissions. If needed, you can grant all users permissions for this space. (Anonymous users won't be granted permissions.)""  

How can we default this to Site 2 for access Standard billing permission/s user access?  

Any suggestions?

Answers:
author: Britta Neugebauer _yasoon_
body: Hi [@Pratyush.Tripathy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5223637) ,

with your Confluence Standard plan you can work with a third party app from Atlassian Marketplace to embed a team calendar: [Confluence Calendar apps \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=calendar)  

If you are working with Outlook (Microsoft 365), this might be an alternative for you: [Outlook Calendars for Confluence \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217554/outlook-calendars-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud). The app is free for up to 10 users.

Please note, I work for yasoon, the company developing Outlook Calendars for Confluence. Therefore I tend to recommend the app :)
