Hello, I would like to use SharePoint as a standard for documentation repository?

Can someone provide details to connect these two.

body: Hi [@Lou Pereira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538125) Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You can explore below third party plugin for integrating confluence with sharepoint -

[SharePoint Connector for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218247/sharepoint-connector-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

comments: author: Almuth Boehme [Communardo]
body: Thank you [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) for pointing to our app!

[@Lou Pereira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538125) The SharePoint Connector is indeed a helpful solution to display SharePoint documents and lists in Confluence as well as Confluence content in SharePoint.

You will find our documentation [here](https://communardo.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPONLINE/overview) and feel free to contact [support](https://jira.communardo.de/servicedesk/customer/portal/2) any time.

Feel free to test it out with a free trial and let us know, if you have any questions!

Best

author: Lou Pereira
body: Thank you for your reply, but this sounds complicated? I'm not looking to add complexity to the environment.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: It all depends on your requirements. You can keep both these systems separate and just add links to one another (eg: add document link from sharepoint to confluence page or vice versa) if you don't want to invest in a plugin.


author: Almuth Boehme [Communardo]
body: [@Lou Pereira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538125)We put a lot of thought in making the SharePoint Connector easy to install and to use. But [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) is right, in the end it depends on your requirements.

If a look around the app would be helpful to you to get a better idea of what the SharePoint Connector does our product team would be happy to chat with you.

In that case you can use the following Microsoft Bookings link to directly schedule a meeting with our experts: **[Book appointment here](https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/SharePointConnectorforConfluenceDemo@communardo.de/bookings/)**

If you'd like to go in a different direction, don't worry. I'm sure this community will find something helpful if you share a little more about your requirements.

Have a great day!

Don't see smart link
Asked by _DTeam Alina:

Have inserted figma files, bit it's not converted to the smart link. What I need to do?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@_DTeam Alina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538087) Welcome to Atlassian Community!  
Not sure if you are hit with [this bug](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68023) Can you please confirm if only anonymous users are facing this issue or logged in users as well ?

comments: author: _DTeam Alina
body: Logged users as well, so I'm as an space owner, can not insert smart link to figma. After inserting I see just a normal link as usual


author: _DTeam Alina
body: \* sorry, from figma


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Thank you for confirming [@_DTeam Alina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4538087)

Once you paste the link on your confluence page (in edit mode), are you not getting the inline view ? just use the view switcher in the floating toolbar below the Smart Link.

![Xnip2021-09-01_09-03-42.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/158397iA74D18FF5DF1E5F4/image-dimensions/342x160?v=v2 "Xnip2021-09-01_09-03-42.jpg")


author: _DTeam Alina
body: [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) No, I do not have this window, so when I pasting link, it's pasted just as usual link. maybe I need to change in the setting in confluence?


author: Kishan Sharma
body: We don't need to change any settings explicitly. As soon as you paste the link on the page, it should automatically be converted to an inline link. If its not working for you, then i would suggest you to [raise a support ticket with Atlassian](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/).


author: Chris Purser
body: It's never worked reliably for us either. Sometimes it is a smart link, other times just a text link with zero options. There seem to be several tickets on this already, all voted for. It's unlikely to get fixed as it's not a deal breaker for most.
create group for confluence user
Asked by Bramhprakash Trivedi:

Dear all

I want to create a group for a people , so that i dont need to add individual name for restrictions of pages.

any idea how it is possible in confluence?

thank you in advance

For **Data Center** version, please refer [this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf59/add-users-and-set-permissions-792498553.html) and for **Cloud** version refer [this link](https://support.atlassian.com/user-management/docs/create-and-update-groups/) on how to create groups on confluence.


author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Bramhprakash Trivedi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4537833) ,

Not sure which Confluence are you using.. Cloud, Server or Data Center..

Basically you can use default groups but the down downside is that admin would need to manage that..

For Server there is a nice plugin called CSUM

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/133/custom-space-user-management-csum?tab=overview\&hosting=datacenter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/133/custom-space-user-management-csum?tab=overview&hosting=datacenter)

Thanks to that you can create space groups based on a space key that then admin of a space can manage without the need of having system admin privileges and asking him to update the group
Tracking progress of tasks assigned to team members
Asked by Chaya Esther Ort:

I'm new to trello. I have a small art business with me and two team members, one for social media marketing, and a VA.

I assign add projects and tasks to them by adding them to a list (one for each of them) on our workspace. They then move those items to their own lists and cards, and manage them there.

Other than moving cards from "To Do, to "Doing", to "Done, and updating the description on the card with the details and status of each task, is there a power up or trello feature for team members to report their daily/weekly progress?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Chaya Esther Ort](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4507464)

You can take a look at the [Reports by Screenful](https://trello.com/power-ups/5ee35178e3c7ec205df09613/reports-by-screenful) Power-Up. Also, for best answers I would suggest you to post this question in the Trello product [collection here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/qa-p/trello-questions)


author: purificacionev
body: Thanks for the link to the reports. I also try to make my team work better together and want to find some ways to manage their work better. The position of a leader is tough for me, but I try to do my best.  
I do all I can to help our project work flawlessly. I even made an Instagram account about it, and every one of the workers can post something there. So, it's a personalized account that reflects the interests and aspirations of the group. I even bought some Instagram followers from [yoyomedia.com](https://yoyomedia.com/), and the account became more official and reliable.  
What else can I do to help the team members feel more comfortable?

Public confluence design
Asked by Alexey:

Hello, recently upgraded to Confluence Standard plan to be able to publish space to the internet people.  

Right now the site looks misleading, with a bunch of buttons in a top menu asking readers to log in and contact admin or simply irrelevant to Knowledge Base.   
![Templates - Crassula - Google Chrome 2021-08-31 11.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/158242iD17363ADC31EF47C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Templates - Crassula - Google Chrome 2021-08-31 11.png")  

How to make it like this page?  

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-and-edit-content/>  

Screen, in case the link will change  
![Create and edit content _ Confluence Cloud _ Atlas.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/158243iFA4FEC7A02145C6B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Create and edit content _ Confluence Cloud _ Atlas.png")

P.s. I know about Refined, k15t, and similar services, problem is our marketing people want a KB to look exactly like the Atlassian page on the last screeny.


Answers:
author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: I think that Atlassian use Scroll Viewport and their own custom layout/design to achieve that.

You could do worse than ask the good folks at k15t.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Alexey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4009985) you can change the look and feel of your confluence site by creating your own CSS. Please refer [this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html) for more details.

comments: author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: Not true. This is for Confluence Cloud rather than Server/DC.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Oh, you are right [@David at David Simpson Apps](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781462) the link i gave was for Server/DC. I can see there's already a [suggestion/feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-36137) to have similar functionality on Cloud, and it is still open. I have casted my vote on it.


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: ? Regarding that feature request ---- the ability to add custom CSS is very unlikely to appear in Confluence Cloud.


author: Alexey
body: Yes, cloud. The link was just a random pick as an example.  

So the answer is 'not possible any time soon'?


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: I'd say try using Scroll Viewport or similar.

confluence.cfg.xml gets filled with <property>select 1</property> entries
Asked by Michael Kluge:

Hello all,

we had a running instance of confluence 7.10.1. This installation was running correctly and has been updated to that point multiple times.

While Updating to 7.12.0 we are facing a problem. First of all the "SUPER privilege" problem described here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/install-upgrade-confluence-7-11+-fails-with-error-you-do-not-have-the-super-privilege-and-binary-logging-is-enabled-1044096915.html>

but after fixing that, we get a strange problem. While starting and running confluence the config gets changed and the following lines start to appear:

\<property\>select 1\</property\>

With these Lines the restart of confluence is not possible (of course). So we did a rollback (Backup) to the 7.10.1 and waited for a later release until yesterday. We changed the target version to 7.13.0, the update was running correctly, but these entries still appear. After removing the first appearance and running the instance the complete night, now we're facing a lot of these lines (10) within the config.

Does anyone know of these problem?

with best regards

Martin


Answers:
author: Michael Kluge
body: We found it, the problem seems to be caused by the puppet modul for confluence.

Within Puppet there is a config that has to make sure, that the folliwing Line within the config exists:

\<property name="hibernate.c3p0.preferredTestQuery"\>select 1\</property\>

This Line is missing and puppet tries to add this line, but there is the failure, it adds:

\<property\>select 1\</property\>

which produces the failure. We currently just don't know the difference between 7.10.1 and 7.13.0 as the puppet code (puppet forge version 4.0.0) works correct with 7.10.1 and does not work with higher Versions.

with best regards.

Group Export on Confluence Server
Asked by James Villa:

Does anyone know how to export Confluence groups? I installed [Confluence User Export](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221278/confluence-user-export?tab=overview&hosting=server) but I am only able to filter then export on a user level.

If you are familiar with REST API, you can use below endpoint to get all a paginated collection of users in the given group.

**GET /rest/api/group/confluence-administrators/member**

is there a template for test case
Asked by Gregory Monrose:

i'd like to know if it exists a template for writting test cases in confluence


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Gregory Monrose](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4537333)

welcome to this wonderful community

First of all I've got a question - what kind of test case do you want to do in Confluence as Jira would be more useful for this?

I would look up in the [templates](https://www.atlassian.com/de/software/confluence/templates) and create my own template to reuse it.

comments: author: Kishan Sharma
body: Welcome to Atlassian community [@Gregory Monrose](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4537333)

I agree with what [@Fabienne Gerhard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/971720) mentioned, Jira will be best suited to track test cases and if at all you need to track them in confluence, you can create your own template and use it as per your requirements.

Confluence Documentation and Management
Asked by Aakash Shah:

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

I would recommend that you check out the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/), it has apps for read confirmation and manage onboarding. I did a quick search and found [izi - LMS for Confluence - Courses \& Quizzes](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214110/izi-lms-for-confluence-courses-quizzes?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) and [Comala Read Confirmations](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222969/comala-read-confirmations?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

comments: author: Aakash Shah
body: Thank you for the quick response. I have checked the marketplace but with these apps, I still have to upload all the documentation into the LMS such as Izi or educbrite.


author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Izi lives within Confluence so you upload your documentation to Confluence and then uses the Izi app to create courses and quizzes. This is from the app details:

izi LMS is an app for training and quizzes right in Confluence. Keep daily work and learning in one place. Avoid expenses on supporting an external LMS.

Preview for HTML Macro works but does not upon publish
Asked by WellSky IT:

After our upgrade to 7.13 we have lost the functionality to add in Issue Collector HTML macros. We can add them and the preview looks great but upon publish it is not visible.

Previously we were using **Prominent,** as soon as I switch the Issue Collector to **Prominent,**it disappears.

Not aware if there is something out of the box. You may need look into a confluence app. It will be good to mention the platform your Confluence is running on whether it's a server, DC, or cloud. Certain apps may work for certain platforms.

Here's some apps that may address your needs:
