How to I add the "/" pop up menu functionality to a template I create?
Asked by page.sorensen:

When I use the Meeting Notes template in Confluence, I can type / and a menu pops up that allows me to select things to insert, like Action Item, Decision, etc. I would like to enable this functionality in a custom template. How can I do this?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Page,

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

The / functionality is part of the [new editor](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html) in Cloud. So if your template isn't working with that then { is the proper key there for the old editor.

Note that the new editor is being rolled out to Cloud instances, so you might not see it in all locations within your instance. Please contact the [Cloud Support Team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) for more information that or if you want to see if it's yet possible to apply to your entire instance.

Shannon
Panel macro within a panel macro?
Asked by David Loszewski:

Hello,

Is there a way to get a panel macro working within a panel?

If I do the following:

```
{panel:title=Notes for customers|titleBGColor=#EAECFF|bgColor=#f6f6f6}
some text
{panel:title=Fill in the info below:|borderStyle=solid|borderColor=#ccc|titleBGColor=#FFFFFF|bgColor=#FFFFCE}
some text in second panel
{panel}
some more text in first panel
{panel}
```

I get the first panel and the 2nd panel title bar but everything beyond that is not in a panel, neither the first or the 2nd. I've tried using columns and sections but neither seem to work properly for me. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm doing this in the default field of a custom field.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello David,

Thanks for sending over your setup with a page to include a panel within a panel. The ability to seed a panel within a parent panel is not currently available within Confluence. You may create multiple panels, but you will be unable to create a panel within an existing panel. Ideally, you will want to create panels within a Section and from within that section stack your panels as needed. This will allow for better visibility and exporting of the content.

Here is an example of what the content (macroRenderedOutput) would look like:

```
macroRenderedOutput":{"1234":{"value":"<div class=\"confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information conf-macro output-block\" data-hasbody=\"true\" data-macro-name=\"info\" data-macro-id=\"1234\"><span class=\"aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-info confluence-information-macro-icon\"> </span><div class=\"confluence-information-macro-body\"><p>Content within this panel.</p><p>More reference content</p></div></div>","embeddedContent":[],"_expandable":{"webresource":""}},"4321":{"value":"<div class=\"confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-note conf-macro output-block\" data-hasbody=\"true\" data-macro-name=\"note\" data-macro-id=\"4321\"><span class=\"aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-warning confluence-information-macro-icon\"> </span><div class=\"confluence-information-macro-body\"><p>Be aware of this content.</p></div></div>"}}
```

Looking for advanced tasks options with numbered lists
Asked by Think Technologies Group:

Hi All,

I've seen the question asked, but only answered with ugly hacks and I've yet to see a plugin for it, though I'm hoping one exists.

We use Confluence for a lot of process documents. The documents are LONG and INTRICATE. Number lists work great for organization; however, due to the nature of the docs, they are very easy to lose your place or in some cases, when skipping steps is necessary, hard to track if you've done all of the steps or missed any and need to come back.

What I would love to find, at it's most basic, is a way to have numbered list plus the task based check boxes so as you are going through a process document, you can check off each step as it is completed. This would also give you a clear view of what steps had to be skipped. I have seen people who use a Number and then a sub line of a task, I've tried it and it makes the documents even harder to read.

In a perfect world, this would have some type of "reset" at the end to clear all of the check boxes for the next user OR a quick copy button to make a copy of the document so that the task list checks aren't saved for future users of the document.

I'll do my best to example this:

\[x\] 1. Step 1 actions  
\[x\] 2. Step 2 actions  
\[ \] 3. Step 3 actions  
etc etc

EDIT: I found another question on here were someone came up with a great work around to the "Reset" check box. It requires that you enable HTML macros in Confluence: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/html-macro-38273085.html>

Here's the code as well to put inside the html macro:

```
<a id="removeAllcbx" href="#">Remove checkboxes</a> <script type="text/javascript"> AJS.toInit(function () { AJS.$('#removeAllcbx').click(function() { $( "ul.inline-task-list" ).find( "li" ).removeClass("checked"); }); }); </script>
```


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello,

Nice to hear from you again!

I'm not aware of any add-ons specifically that can do that, other than using the HTML workaround that you discovered. We had a feature request to use both a task macro inside a numbered list, but we do not have plans to implement it:

* [CONFSERVER-36765](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-36765) *Create a list with numbers AND task checkboxes*

I've included your question in the Marketplace Apps collection, in case anyone is aware of an add-on that will help you with this task.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Think Technologies Group
body: Hi Shannon,

I read through that add-on request and see that a few people wanted it there as well as I have found several posts on this forum. I think it would be a good idea to reopen that request.


author: Shannon S
body: Hi there,

I am unable to reopen cases after they have been closed by development. If you'd like, you can raise a new request at [jira.atlassian.com](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) and refer to the original request there.

Please feel free to share that link with us once you've done so!

How do you watch the Confluence server release notes page?
Asked by Katherine Wertz:

How do you watch <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html>? I would like to receive emails whenever a new Confluence update is released.

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-upgrade-notification/qaq-p/1095310> and <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-we-get-notifications-when-a-new-version-of-confluence-is/qaq-p/977171> mention watching the page, or using an RSS option, but I don't see an option for either on the page. Am I missing something?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Michael Rudolph
body: In my understanding, to watch the page, you would at least need viewing rights for the underlying confluence page. When accessing the underlying confluence page at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=327> I was redirected to the scroll viewport at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html>. So no luck there.

How do i change inherited permissions to be lass restrictive than parent page
Asked by Vincey Bhan:

Parent page is visible to carefully controlled list of people. The child page needs to have a wider audience.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to move the child page to somewhere less restrictive, or relax the restriction on the parent.

comments: author: Isaac Kunz
body: What about if we want to keep the content of the space together for example a meeting summary that someone from outside the group has some action items on so they could check off when they are done but we don't want this person to be able to edit or even view other pages within this space. And when we creat new pages we don't want to have to specify that this person doesn't have access to every new page we create if we were to give them permission via the parent space. Any thoughts on how to do this.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Put the meeting notes in a place that they can see.

The reason it is designed this way is simplicity and ease of use. If you didn't do it this way, you would be relying on every user knowing exactly what pages to restrict view to and remembering to do it on every new page, and re-examining them on every move.

The usual strategy I see is to have a space that has

* Home page (no view restriction)
* Private team place 1
* Private team place 2
* etc
* Shared resources (no view restrictions, but likely some edit ones)


author: BrandonDude
body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) , sorry I don't buy the "simplicity and ease of use". You would not need to know or have to set permissions on every descendant page. Have descendant pages inherit restrictions, but allow those restrictions to be overwritten.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: But that's not simple or easy - you would have to set every single page, and somehow report on what people were setting on every page, and and and.

That's not simple or easy.
How to create a TOC marco that lists Jira macros by their issue Summary, not url link
Asked by Tim Padgett:

So, I added a TOC macro, and formatting all of the headings in the page as H1 and those headings are actually jira macros. However, the TOC is not showing the issue's Summary for all of the items, only some. it appears that the jira macro doesn't fully render until that part of the page loads? Is there some way to force this consistent rendering, or is this just a bug that has yet to be resolved?

Copy template title to new page created from it
Asked by Rory Apperson:

When using a custom template to create pages, how do I get it to automatically fill in the title of the page from the template? I had assumed it would just copy the template's title and then I could modify it however I like, but the new page appears with a blank title box.


Answers:
author: repi
body: Macro "create from template"  
You can define the page name

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Repi,

That's some great advice! Thank you for sharing.

Rory, if you're not familiar, the macro that Repi is referring to is this one: [Create from Template Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-from-template-macro-724765187.html).

Using this macro, it will embed a button on your page which you can click to create pages from a specific template. There's a **Template Title** parameter you can use to set the title when using this macro.

Keep in mind, however, that it will only set the template title if the user creates the template from this button. If they were to create a page from the template using the regular **+** menu, it will not set the title, and the title will need to be set manually.

I hope that clarifies things for you!

Regards,

Shannon

author: Shannon S
body: Hello Rory,

Good afternoon! Happy to answer.

Page templates aren't able to be set right now via templates, but we have a feature request for it below:

* [CONFCLOUD-37513](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-37513) *Use template variables in page title*

Many of the templates that you use in Confluence are actually part of a blueprint, and they are setting their titles in order to work within the blueprint. For more information on blueprints, have a read here: [Confluence Cloud Blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/blueprints/).

Let me know if you have any questions about that.
