How do I copy and paste a page containing action items without the checkboxes pasting as bullets?
Asked by Adrian Hatch:

I have a page on confluence containing a list of tasks with checkboxes/action items. I want to paste that list of tasks into a new document, with each checkbox item remaining a checkbox item. When I copy from that page or the page's editor to the new page, the items paste with bullets instead of checkboxes. Selecting the items and clicking the checkbox button next to the bullets buttons in the editor doesn't do anything.   

<br />

How do I copy the contents of a Confluence page containing checkboxes to a new document without the checkbox items being converted to bullet point items?


Answers:
author: Carlos Garcia Navarro
body: Hi Adrian,

When you're copying the page content, are you in edit mode?

comments: author: Adrian Hatch
body: Yes, I've tried both in edit mode and not.


author: Carlos Garcia Navarro
body: Hmm... I don't seem to see the same behavior on my side (also cloud). I create a page and use \[\] to add check boxes. Then I publish the page, edit it again, copy the content and paste it in a new page. Check boxes are copied too.


author: Adrian Hatch
body: [I've linked a screen recording of the problem](https://gfycat.com/nastypertinentbluet)  

Thanks for the help so far. Can you suggest a next step to resolve this?

[@Adrian Hatch](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/205969) did you find a solution to this ?


author: Matt Chadwell
body: I am having the same issue. Has a solution been found?


author: Branimir Corluka
body: Workaround - go to "Open in Source Editor" - upper right corner when in edit mode and copy paste the source.

Checkboxes remain.

Insert Jira Issue/Filter - How do you get access to more Columns to Display
Asked by Mark Hasenstab:

Within Confluence, when a Jira Filter is inserted there is only a limited set of Columns to display. How do customer Fields get added as options to Display?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Mark,

If you use the Insert Jira Issue/Filter macro and you run the JDL at the bottom of the screen you will see display options and that will allow you to add additional fields.

where is the insert->Markup button?
Asked by David Moore:

Over here, it says: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-wiki-markup-938044804.html> that you can insert markup this way:
> Insert a block of wiki markup (or markdown) into the Confluence editor. (Choose **Insert** \> **Markup** .)

I don't see that under /insert:

It seems like if I type markdown, it does the right thing, but when I paste markdown it just comes in as a code block.

I have some docs I typed up in a MD file on my mac and want to get them into confluence.

author: Diego
body: Hello there [@David Moore](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3599317) !  
As you have noticed, our documentation shows some content that is not consistent with the New Editor (Fabric). I understand that it has been a long time since your question but, I believe that we can give some kind of update!  

I have tried to follow the same documentation while using the new editor. As expected, it failed. The features mentioned there are not available for the New Editor.

With this in mind, I filed this bug report aiming at the fix of our documentation:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] Following the Confluence Wiki Markup documentation does not work for the New Editor (Fabric)](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69794)**++

Currently, our new editor does not support Markup, as explained here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] Support Wiki Markup for the new editor](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65756)**++

The workaround explained within the report raised by me++*relies on the usage of our Legacy Editor (tinyMCE)*++. You should be able to access it. If you are not, there are ways for you to request it, as explained here:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Community\] Change to your content is in your hands](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/Change-to-your-content-is-in-your-hands/ba-p/1324476)**++

I hope this helps you out! Looking forward to your reply.

comments: author: David Moore

A workaround may be to using some kind of automation to "type" the text into the window, but that feels kind of crappy.

Converting Confluence site to a site with old and new editor for pages to unified editing experience
Asked by C?t?lin Piti? _Admin_:

I have a Confluence site created quite a while ago. At some moment, the new editor was launched, and I had the opportunity to test it with some built-in templates.

Recently, I started a new Confluence site, where the pages are, by default, edited with the new editor, same as the templates and so.

The old site presents a mixed experience: I found no way to create page templates using the new editor, and, depending on the page I am editing, the editor might be either the old one or the new one.

I want to somehow consolidate the editing experience with the new editor only, for the old site, but I have absolutely no clue how to do it. Any hints from the community?


Answers:
author: Kiran Panduga {Appfire}
body: Hi [@C?t?lin Piti? _Admin_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/974144)

Looks like you setup the confluence cloud instances(new) and in general the Atlassian cloud instances are regularly updated to the latest version and has the latest editor and built in templates.

However, if you are noticing old editor in confluence old instance, then I suspect this might be your Confluence Server instance.

In any case, if you want to use the latest editor on your old site, I would suggest to export those spaces from the old site and then import the spaces into the Confluence New cloud site.

To export, go into the space setting --\> Content Tools --\> Export --\> FULL backup

To Import the space, In Confluence Cloud, go to Settings --\> Import a Confluence Space

Thanks,

Kiran.

author: C?t?lin Piti? _Admin_
body: Hi Kiran, I come back because it seems there is a misunderstanding. Both two instances are Cloud instances. The first one is older (almost two years) and I have most of the pages edited with the old editor. The new one was created recently, and it has the new editor by default, with the templates adapated for it, and so on.

Is there any setting in the space configuration that I could use to have the new editor in the old instance?

Thanks!

Temporary HTML before conversion when exporting to PDF
Asked by Herve Frydlender:

Hi all,

I'm looking for temporary HTML file(s) generated by Confluence before conversion to PDF when asking an "Export to PDF" on a page (not a space!).

I don't care too much about the content of the page, what I'm looking for is how the page title is formatted / tagged / classified so I can tune my CSS style-sheet properly.

This temporary file(s) shall be located in "\<confluence-home\>/temp/pdfexport-*date* -*hour*-#/" according to documentation.

I'm asking this here because the hosting provider taking care of our server is "not very reactive" :)

Many thanks to anybody who can help me here.

With best regards

Confluence search does not find XLSX contents
Asked by Austrotherm:

We are currently starting to use Confluence.  
I uploaded a .xlsx file to confluence that contains a kind of "solution diary" for common problems that was used for documentation problems before.  
Confluence should be able to search its contents and show the document in the search-results searching text that is in the file, however, it does not.  
When converting the file to .xls before uploading to confluence it works fine.  

I tried resetting the index (the "soft" variant via admin panel first and when it didn't change the search results I shut down confluence, deleted the recommended folders index and journal, restarted confluence and rebuilt the index. Still, .xlsx is not being searched in.

Excel 2007 content extractor app is enabled, I did not fiddle around with that.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Additional information:

When adding the exact same XLSX file to a cloud-hosted confluence server (we still have one left from evaluation), indexation works as expected and search delivers the file as result for search terms that appear in the file.

Footer link error in "Powered by Atlassian"
Asked by Steffen Vester:

After we updated to Confluence 7.0.1 there is something wrong with the link in the footer, as seen here:

![Confluence footer.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69610i8EF616328785A6C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence footer.png")

It was like this right after the upgrade. I've removed the Atlassian logo (which is my understand is okay) but the link error was there before as well.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Steffen,

Thanks for including a screenshot for the broken footer within Confluence after an update. From looking at this, I do see you've removed the Atlassian logo, but it also looks like there may be custom HTML applied for the footer on a global level within Confluence. Within your Confluence Administration, could you please review the "Sidebar, Header and footer" to see if anything is present. If so, please remove anything within the footer to see if this helps to resolve the issue.

We look forward to hearing back to see if this was the cause of the broken link in the footer.

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

comments: author: Steffen Vester
body: Hi Stephen

Thanks for your rapid answer!

Here is a screenshot from our Sidebar, header and footer"![Sidebar header footer.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69873i3788E746DD0B8F39/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sidebar header footer.png")

The following is the only scripts, html etc. we have added. This is from "Global Stylesheet" where we want the links to get a pointy finger rather than the "drag" icon:

.wiki-content img.confluence-embedded-image, .wiki-content img.editor-inline-macro, .wiki-content table.wysiwyg-macro  
{ cursor: pointer !important; }

This is from "Custom HTML" within the "At end of the HEAD" box:

\<style\>  
#footer .footer-body {  
margin:0,1;  
padding:0;  
min-height:0;  
}  
#footer-logo {  
display: none !important;  
}  
#footer .footer-body {

background-image: none;

}  
\</style\>

This is to remove the Atlassian logo. But the issue which im refering to, was there before i added this piece of code.

Hope you can help resolve this. Thanks!


author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Steffen,

Thanks for including the customization you have. I was able to find the cause of the issue and reproduce it as well. The issue is a problem when translating a user language from Danish (Denmark), this will cause the footer link to break in 7.0.1.

Scheduled backups no longer work after minor update.
Asked by Lukasz Borek:

Hello,

Since updating to Confluence 6.15.7, 2 of our instances are no longer creating scheduled backups.

Permissions are okay, using option in the interface to create backup now works perfectly. There are no new errors in the logs.

I was trying the funny fix from here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Automatic-backup-service-enabled-no-backups-are-created/qaq-p/331114>   
(Backup File Date Pattern" from "yyyy_MM_dd" to "yyyy_MM_dd_HHmmss".) but also no results.  

Issue occurs on 2 (of 3) our instances. Ubuntu 18.04, 4gb ram. One instance is docker, second normal base vm. Till update everything was working fine.

Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Lukasz,

There are a number of different issues that could be impacting the backup. However, the built-in backup mechanism is not recommended for production instances, as it can be resource intensive, and is less efficient as the Confluence instance grows. Instead, we recommend following the [Production Backup Strategy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf615/production-backup-strategy-967338443.html) as a more reliable way to keep complete backups.

That said, failures of the built-in backup can be caused by memory shortages. I notice you have 4 GB of RAM, which is less than recommended by the [Server Hardware Requirements Guide](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf615/server-hardware-requirements-guide-967338700.html). You may want to try increasing this in the meantime.

I hope this helps!
