When a page is renamed, how can I see the old page name?
Asked by Antonio Cal?:

An existing page has bee renamed.

How I can see the previous name of the page, the user who changed it, the date the page name was changed.

In "Page History" I can see only changes on content, there aren't any info about the history of changes in the page name.

body: Hello [@Antonio Cal?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4642353)

When you open an older version of the page, you will see the name before the changes at the top.

Ex-Administrator still receiving notifications
Asked by Tyler Legg:

One of the old admins for our page is still getting notifications about updates made across the Confluence site. How do we stop this from happening?


Answers:
author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@Tyler Legg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5089158) welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you removed that user from the site-admins group?

Have you disabled/toggled off Confluence product access or even Site Access for that user?

comments: author: Dave Mathijs
body: In case the old admin remains an employee of your company, then site and product access cannot be disabled of course.

He will continue to receive notifications for every space he has created or any page or space he's watching. In that case, you'll need to remove him as space admin and replace him by someone else.

Styling problems with confiforms smart multi-row
Asked by Simon Larson:

We recently started using the smart multi-row field in confiforms to allow for some new functionality. It solved many of our problems, however, it also messed up the design. This is how the form looks:

![Untitled.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227797iD60DC111E18A491F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Untitled.png")

As you can see, the "required field asterisks" are all over the place. Can they be moved/aligned?

Also, it is possible to add descriptions underneath the fields? I tried setting descriptions in the original form (that the multi-row field is getting data from) but they do not show.

Thankful for any response

How to quick search within the space that I'm in
Asked by Zeth Odderskov:

If I go to the space: **Foobar**

And search for 'Deployment', it's such a generic search phrase, so it displays the page from several different of our spaces.

I wish there was a way to quickly toggle 'Search this space'. Confluence does display recently visited/used spaces on the right, but if it's a space you're visiting for the first time in a long time, then it doesn't appear there.

And regardless - I would hate to rely on Confluence to suggest the right suggestion to me. I would like to always be able to search within the space that I'm on.

Here is the problem illustrated:

![foobar-1.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227799i40EB00950E3548CB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "foobar-1.png")

---

Solution attempt 1: Setup a custom snippet {#toc-hId--500271766}
----------------------------------------------------------------

I've setup a custom snippet for myself, so that if I type:
> cs@foobarsearch

then it expands to this:
> [https://MYATLASSIANACCOUNT.atlassian.net/wiki/search?spaces=foobar\&text=](https://MYATLASSIANACCOUNT.atlassian.net/wiki/search?spaces=foobar&text=)

And if I then just type stuff after the \`text=\`-part (even with spaces), then when I click enter to that, then it searches within the Foobar-space.

While this is good enough for me, then it's too technical for my colleagues. And I'm looking for a solution that helps Confluence getting more traction within my organisation.

author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@Zeth Odderskov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5030603) welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How to recover a deleted draw.io diagram
Asked by Gabriela Zagaevschi:

Hello all,

I deleted a diagram by mistake and cannot recover it from the history page. I tried to recover previous versions, however, the outcome is always "Diagram Not Found".

Is there a way to recover it without creating a new one? Is there a recycle bin with all deleted files/diagrams?

Thanks in advance for your support and answer.

What are the use cases of marking links in red and unabling to edit them?
Asked by Dolores Rhyme:

Hi community,

Sometimes I find that links are marked in grey. In the editor, the red links are blue, but I can't edit them.

![Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 2.50.59 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227755i3C0B2C494F56E1BC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 2.50.59 PM.png")![Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 2.48.38 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227754i5C802F02AC491A81/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-11-25 at 2.48.38 PM.png")

I would be really grateful for the answer.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Dolores Rhyme](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4666159) ,

Those links are either broken or someone created them in order to prompt them to later create a page named the same as the link.

See [Undefined Page Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/undefined-page-links-139580.html)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

In the editor, try unblinking the text before editing it.

comments: author: Dolores Rhyme

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: What do you mean by "totally ineditable"? You can always edit the text of the body of a page, whether it's in a link, macro, or just the plain body.


author: Dolores Rhyme
body: You can see the screenshot in my question that shows a link that can't be editable, it's broken. That's why I wonder how it happens that some broken links are editable, but some you can only unlink and attach a new onw. Why so...?

How to ensure that content from a leaving person is still accessible for the organisation?
Asked by Michael M.:

Hi all,

I'm about to leave the company soon. I'd like to ensure that my successor actually has access to all content I created.

How would you do this?

We're on cloud and I don't know how many (a lot!) pages I own / have created.

Any clever advise?

Best regards,

Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Michael M.](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4353280) ,

content access permissions are not related to the creator. If you created pages, they will be accessible based on space permissions.

Please verify that your personal space, if necessary, can be accessed by someone else in your company and verify that you are not the only viewer for some restriceted pages.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

comments: author: Michael M.
body: Hi [@Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781528) ,

thanks a lot for picking up this question.

Is there a simple way to get a list of spaces I created and a list of pages I created AND I'm the only person allowed to edit / change content?

My CQL skills did not produce anything of value here ...

Thx,

Michael.


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Michael M.](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4353280) ,

for my knowledge, you can't retrieve all these information through a CQL. As space admin, you can get restrictions for a single space in the admin section.

In my opinion you could use Rest API (<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-restriction-get>) to retrieve all these informations. For sure you need to put in place a script that collect all information.

OAuth2 Authentication Setup issue with confluence on-prem server
Asked by Kai Gao:

When we try to set up OAuth2 authentication in confluence on-prem server using the below steps, we get the 400 Bad request error when requesting the Authorization code.

To create an [incoming link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configure-an-incoming-link-1115674733.html).

1. Login into confluence on-prem server and Go to **![image007.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227135i284BAA3AB362FDAE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image007.png") \> General Configuration \> Application links**.
2. Select **Create link**.
3. Select External application, and then choose Incoming as the direction.

4. After this we'll get client id and client secret of application link.

![image009.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/227717i69CD23046CBB3918/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image009.png")

5. Request Authorization code by redirecting the user to the /rest/oauth2/latest/authorize page with the URL.

```
https://confluence.integ.us-west-2.beta.kendra.aws.a2z.com/plugins/servlet/oauth2/consent?client_id=0cd3c3bcc51f7801d1c0e33e34f8c8cd&redirect_uri=https://confluence.integ.us-west-2.beta.kendra.aws.a2z.com&response_type=code&scope=READ&code_challenge_method=plain&code_challenge=code_verifier
```

6. After hitting this URL we're getting 400 Bad Request error on browser.

In addition, we also posted this [ticket](https://support.atlassian.com/requests/JST-811594/) on the Atlassian Support Team and response was they don't provide any technical assistance. We can connect with their partners for a chargeable demo.

Referring this [documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-oauth2-provider-api/) to setup OAuth2 Authentication on Confluence on-prem server.

we would appreciate if you could point us in the right direction on how to resolve this issue and set up the OAuth2 authentication on the Confluence on-prem server.

Limiting Space Admin User/Group Selection
Asked by Drew T:

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to limit the users and/or groups that a space admin is able to assign space permissions to?

Currently a space admin appears to have the ability to add any user or group that the LDAP sync brings into the application and I'm curious if there is a way to reduce this scope so that Space admins only have an explicit list to choose from and the ability to assign permissions to any user or group is only available to Confluence Admins?

Thanks,

Drew


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Drew T](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4734306) If the group is synced then it will show up as an option to add and there is not a way to limit it. I would suggest only syncing groups that you would like to have available in Confluence. Just because the space can be added does not necessarily mean that every user in that group has a Confluence license and would be able to see the space. Depending on how you have setup your sync to apply licenses will also impact access.

New Editor Tables and Formatting
Asked by Patrick Ley:

I have two questions regarding the new editor on Confluence.

1) Is there a way to convert all pages in a space to the new editor or does every single one have to be converted manually when editing?

2) Can you set the size of tables and images in the new editor? Otherwise you get these scroll bars on tables that wouldn't need any and images that are difficult to adapt to the page layout.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_

1. Currently this is not possible. Here is an issue for this which you can vote and watch <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70955>  
   You can also take a look at this thread as well <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Bulk-conversion-of-pages-to-new-editor/qaq-p/1480466>
2. You can't set the size of images like you do on server (set exact pixels). You can click and drag an image to set it according to the grid, which will appear when you click on the edge handles of an image.  
   Table can be set only to three sizes if you click on the \<-\> of the upper right corner of a table. You could theoretically insert this table on an HTML macro (you require an app for this) and set the HTML macro width (but I haven't tested it)

No Access to Space
Asked by Kurt Oeffner:

I have access to the other spaces so I don't think it is caused by Global Permissions.  
Inside Space Permission I have given myself all the permissions as an individual user.

When entering the space I can access it normally but no pages appear. I know that I should be seeing multiple pages.  
When attempting to create a page, I get the error:

"We can't create a page for you  
Refresh the page and try again. If this keeps happening, contact Support."  
So that's what I did. Refresh did not work and now I am trying to get support.

body: Hi [@Kurt Oeffner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4750744)

When you navigate to the **Manage pages** section of the Space settings. Do you see any pages in the "Reorder" section? Or any pages in the "Restricted" section?

Feels like a temporary issue with Confluence, but if it persists, you should reach out to [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/). We're only the community and can't support technical issues. :)

Best, Max

comments: author: Kurt Oeffner
body: Hello Max,

yes they all appear in the Restricted area.

They have a lock under the configuration tab. Is that the way to go?

author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hi [@Kurt Oeffner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4750744)

Space permissions do not influence applied page restrictions. You will have to update them manually. The space permissions only determine who can restrict pages.
