Confiforms: IFTTT CopyPage returns wrong page object
Asked by Dirk Eyfrig:

According to the description provided in [the documentation](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CopyPage), the return value should be the page object of the copied page. Unfortunately in confiforms 3.3.1 it does not return the page object of the copied page (aka the new page) but the one of the page that has been copied - which does not make any sense.

Does anyone have an idea how to access the page object of the new page e.g. in order to change the page title or similar?

body: Hi [@Dirk Eyfrig](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4175189)

Do you have you IFTTT to copy page with an option to copy "children" enabled?

Alex

comments: author: Dirk Eyfrig
body: Yes, I do.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: OK, I see

Checking the code we can confirm it is a bug - the API we use does not report correctly the page

We will look into alternatives to see what can be done and how to figure out the page that has been created using this "deep copy" API method (complexity is in the page title conflict resolver Confluence uses... so the copied page might have a different name)

Alex


author: Dirk Eyfrig
body: Would it work correctly when the "include children" option is unchecked?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Yes, it does


author: Dirk Eyfrig
body: OK, then this might be a way to move forward for me.   
Thank you, Alex.


author: Dirk Eyfrig
body: Hi [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) ,

unfortunately copy page does not work in my case either.

When copying a page within a the same space, it claims that a page with the given name already exists in that space. Renaming mechanisms as implemented when performing a manual copy is not implemented.

This makes the entire copy page functionality rather useless...


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: That is quite a bold and strong statement and I am not here to change your mind. Useless it is...

The idea of a copy page IFTTT is to copy a page that has a title that contains some references via \[entry.field_name\] notations so these will be processed against the current record and that will make a unique title

<http://recordit.co/p6XL1EoQXg>

Alex


author: Dirk Eyfrig
body: Hi Alex,

indeed you changed my mind...

I haven't been aware that one may use \[entry.field_name\] notations in the page title - that's an important game changer!

Would be great if this would be documented somewhere where a user can find it, e.g. on <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CopyAttachment>.


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Good point. We will update the docs

API to export Knowledge Base articles from Confluence
Asked by kompal.sithta:

There is a requirement to export the KB articles using REST API. Is there any API available since I could not fine any.


Answers:
author: Jerryton Surya
body: Hi [@kompal.sithta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5079083)   

I hope this API will help you to export a knowledge-base article

1. Use the `GET /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}?expand=body.storage` endpoint to retrieve the content of each Knowledge Base article by ID.
2. Extract the content from the JSON response and save it to a file in the desired format (e.g., HTML, PDF, etc.).

comments: author: kompal.sithta
body: [@Jerryton Surya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032643) how to retrieve the article id?


author: Jerryton Surya
body: 1. Click on the "..." menu in the top right corner of the page and select "Page Information".
2. In the Page Information dialog, locate the "Page ID" field. This is the base article ID for your Knowledge Base.


author: kompal.sithta
body: [@Jerryton Surya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032643) is there any api for the getting the content of Knowledge base from jira service management ?


author: Jerryton Surya
body: You can use the following API endpoint to retrieve the articles from a knowledge base:

GET /rest/servicedeskapi/knowledgebase/{knowledgeBaseId}/articles

Replace `{knowledgeBaseId}` with the ID of the knowledge base you want to retrieve the articles from.

iOS Mobile Confluence taking forever to load Macros
Asked by ???syd.kim:

Hello,

When I view my confluence space on the desktop, there's no problem loading Macro contents. But, whenever I open it up on my mobile app (iOS) - wifi connection is stable -, it struggles to load any contents that need data fetching, such as Macros.  
(Please see the image attached below.)

![confluence_mobile_issue.001.jpeg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/247178i974FFD7933D822B6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence_mobile_issue.001.jpeg")

Does anyone experience the same issue?  
Is it because I'm using the free-tier? If this is the case, I have to re-think about using Confluence... (Was exploring and testing things out before building the full site we need) It's impossible to use in the mobile environment. :(

Thanks for the help!

how to delete the account
Asked by William li:

Hi, I want to delete my account but I got the following message. I tried and still don't know how to delete the account.

*Your account could not be deleted because:*

* *This account is associated with an active account set to AUTO-RENEW (auto-renew).*
* *This account is the primary billing contact for one or more products.*
* *This account is the technical contact for one or more products.*
* *To proceed with deleting this account, the account owner needs to visit my.atlassian.com and designate an additional user as a billing and technical contact.*
* *Read our support documentation for more help and instructions: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/pTgoPQ>*


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@William li](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5177357) ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

The answer is in your description (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/exception-handling-for-atlassian-account-deletions-1026046117.html>). You can't delete an account that is the primary contact for one or more products. You need to change it first.

### Option 1: Change the main billing or main technical contact for your site(s) {#toc-hId-2026551849}

The easiest option to maintain continuity is to transfer contact from yourself to another appropriate contact within your organization. See [How do I update the Billing and Technical Contacts for my Atlassian products?](https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing#manage-account) for a procedure on adding contacts.

Note that the new contact will need to log in to make themselves the primary contact in order to complete the process.

Once this is complete, you can delete your profile at <https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile>. Details on the deletion are described at [Delete your account](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/delete-your-account-976161188.html).

Need help on granting view access to my space to everyone in my organisation.
Asked by Diego Fernandez Llorente:

I can't change my space setting from viewing and edit restricted to just edit restricted.

I tried through the space settings/restrictions (get error message/see below) as well as space tools/restrictions.

Still, the space is not accessible to everyone in my organisation.

I tried to change the settings on multiple instances and days but still cannot manage to make it work.

Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hey [@Diego Fernandez Llorente](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5177311) your Confluence admin will also have to enable a global permission to make anonymous access work. You can learn more here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-up-public-access-156.html>

Just keep in mind that anonymous access means anyone from the Internet can access your space, not just people within your organization. Unless your admin has Confluence running within a firewall.

What is the difference between a Group vs a Team in Confluence?
Asked by Jim Lopez:

I created a team in Confluence but when it come to Space Security I can only add groups. Where do you created the groups in Confluence? I know how to create Teams in Confluence but those don't show up in the drop down for the Space Security and applying the security to Teams only Groups.


Answers:
author: Riley Venable
body: To add groups in Confluence, go to the Space Settings from the sidebar, select General from the Space permissions card, and then select an Edit Permissions button under Groups. From there, you can create a new group or search for an existing group to add to the space. Teams in Confluence cannot be added directly as they are not recognized as a group by the system. You will need to create a group and add your team members to it for them to have the same access to the space.

comments: author: Jim Lopez
body: I don't have the ability to add a group which you mention in your response which looks to be possible but I don't have the capability. I can only search for a group and add from the list that exists. I can only search existing groups and from the existing one I can add only those which it finds.

Does Confluence store preliminary draft versions?
Asked by Evgeniya Semushkina:

Hi, wanted to check is there any way to restore page content for the first draft version? (has never been published).

I had a big table which was slowing down the browser a bit and the table was deleted somehow. I brought it back with ctrl-z, but after refreshing the table was gone.

Any chance to find my earlier draft?


Answers:
author: Riley Venable
body: Yes, if you had created a draft for the page and had not published it, it is possible to restore the deleted content. To restore a draft or unpublished changes, while editing a page, choose \> Delete unpublished page or Revert to last published version. If you have deleted the draft, unfortunately, it cannot be restored as mentioned in the context "Deleting a draft is permanent and can't be undone."

Are there better ways to track updates made to confluence page - Other than Change-history macro?
Asked by Priya Kulkarni:

Hi All,

Our team struggles to keep track of changes made to a document on confluence. We use confluence to document requirements (stories, EPICS)

And there are changes made to them quite often. What is the best way to track these changes\>


Answers:
author: Riley Venable
body: To track changes made to a document on Confluence, it is recommended to use the Watch feature. By selecting the Watch button, located at the top-right of the page, you can choose to watch just that page or all pages in the space. This way, when changes are made to pages you're watching, or someone comments on them, you'll get an email notification letting you know who changed what. This feature can help your team save time and track all the content they care about.


author: Teodora V
body: As [@Riley Venable](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4584007) said, the Watch feature is a good way of being immediately notified about page changes.

I also recommend using **Page History** and **comparing versions**. Each page save is logged as a separate version, and you can track what changes have been made throughout the page's existence.


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: "Watch" is the primary tool to track changes on individual pages, but it may result in a large number of notification emails if your site is really active.

Therefore you could try using the [Confluence daily digest emails](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Introducing-the-Confluence-Daily-Digest/ba-p/2042487) to receive a daily summary with the list of changes done the previous day:

![Digest.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/255224i3A80044133DF33F5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Digest.png")

Or, if you need more configurability, use the [custom notifications](https://midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/notification-schemes) feature provided by the Better Content Archiving app:

![better-content-archiving-confluence-cloud-notifications.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/255225i3CF8235E81542541/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "better-content-archiving-confluence-cloud-notifications.gif")

It allows you to set up your preferred schedule, a CQL filter to search for the contents (e.g. search for all pages updated yesterday and not labelled with "no-notify"), select the recipients (users, groups, etc.) and edit the email subject and body.

Macro that shows up on the edit screen only
Asked by Sam Ayres:

What options are available? Can a Warning, Note, Info panel be on the edit screen only for example?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Sam Ayres](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4594542)

You can use the page properties macro.

1) Add the Page Properties Macro.

2) Add notes or instructions within the macro box.

3) Check the "Hidden" box within the macro.

The content within the macro will not show unless you are in Edit mode (as long as the Hidden box is checked).

There's another trick to this if you want to do it without add-ons.

Create a new template, and look carefully for the formatting for guidance or placeholder text. Create some text and make it that type.

Create a new page from the template, so you end up in edit mode.

Highlight and copy some of the placeholder text.

Paste it into the edit page for the page you want it on and then update the text to what you need there.

Confluence Templates - How to add an 'Insert Image' macro?
Asked by Ben Greene:

Currently taking my 1st look at creating a confluence page template, and was looking to be able to add an 'Insert image' macro / interactable placeholder.

From searching so far I cannot find a method.

Just to clarify, I am not looking to add 1 image to my template, but rather a button that will prompt the user to add their own images (either by an 'add image' button or a placeholder image that is interactable).

Is this possible to do?

Thanks for the reply, I am using templates already.  
My question is if in my template I can add a variable / macro for adding images?  
(Either by an 'add image' button or a placeholder image that is interactable)

These links dont seem to have info on that, nor could I find anything from my search prior.

In Table Transformer macro, FORMATWIKI with {cell} is not recognized
Asked by Will O:

My goal is to change the width of a specific column in a table. Any ideas about what I may be doing wrong?

Following the example syntax to adjust width from Table Transformer documentation (<https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/advanced-table-cells-formatting-58426218.html>), I'm getting an error for the macro indicating 'cell' is unknown. I don't see {cell} listed on the FORMATWIKI Docs page, so I was curious if using {cell} is outdated or if there is an issue here with how I'm trying to set the width.

You may also find an example in the [documentation](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/dc-server/advanced-table-cells-formatting-58426218.html#Advancedtablecellsformatting--Changingcolumnwidth?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) (please navigate to the "Changing column width" section).  

If the function is not recognized by your Table Transformer macro (you get errors in the preview) and you are on Server/Data Center, we can suggest checking the version of the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app. The current one is 9.8.0. Please update if required.  

P.S. You didn't show us the macro preview. Sometimes if your page is a bit overloaded, you may get the "Unknown macro" instead of the "Table Transformer" like you've got on the second screenshot. But the query may work just fine -- so it's not an issue.

comments: author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Will O](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5177038) ,

An update for your question: it seems that the behavior regarding the "Unknown macro" instead of the proper macro name was caused by [this Confluence bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65763).

As the bur is not resolved, we corrected the behavior locally for the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app (since 9.11.2 version).
