How can I assess the size of a space?
Asked by Ed Snow:

I am working to understand our space situation.

I am aware of the manage content / attachments list in the space settings. I am also aware of the REST API to list attachments. But I don't see any other way to determine which spaces are space hogs or why.

I had assumed that attachments would be the dominate item, but it's only reporting as 20% of storage in use (using the REST API to list all attachments and sum the size.

Are there any other sources of information I could use?

This link has some information: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Finding-storage-usage-of-Confluence-space-and-page-using-REST/qaq-p/2119499>

Unfortunately Atlassian's documentation on storage space scanning has disappeared.

did atlassian break tables in confluence?
Asked by Stefanie S:

Why don't tables stretch across the entire page width anymore?

![confluence table.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/310330iF7CE6C5E7102E0CA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence table.png")

body: Hi [@Stefanie S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5442632)

On your screenshot... did you try to move that gray vertical bar on the right?

Move it left and right to resize the table to any width in any page width mode.

(note: it might be out of sight on large tables so some scrolling may be needed, but it's always there)

comments: author: Stefanie S
body: Wow! yes that worked. crazy. Not intuitive at all. **thank you for that.**

I kept trying to drag the column on the left wider/to the left to no avail. I don't remember this being an issue before. Is this a recent change in Cloud?

I'd like to view all of the comments on a confluence page on one page.
Asked by MJ La Roche:

There is only one button on the confluence page "show inline comments." It shows one comment at a time. In a meeting, we give people 10 minutes to review the content on the page and provide comments. We want to show all the comments on one page, whether it be in the same confluence page or a new one. It will also allow us to audit that the comments are being addressed.


Answers:
author: Laurie Sciutti
body: Hello [@MJ La Roche](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5445326) and welcome to the Community! I know this is an older question so hopefully you've found what you needed already. If not, aside from selecting an inline comment and using the UP/DOWN arrows for previous and next comment, I don't believe there is a way to do this currently without an add-on. There is an open request ([CONFCLOUD-36933](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-36933)) to enhance this functionality, which you may want to upvote and watch. HTH

Restricting Space Deletion Permissions to Site Admins Only in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Aresky Bandera:

Hello Atlassian Community,

I'm exploring ways to enhance our Confluence Cloud's security and governance model, and I've encountered a specific need that I'm unsure how to address within the current permission settings offered by Confluence.

Our organization wants to ensure that only site admins have the capability to delete spaces within Confluence, effectively preventing space admins from being able to delete spaces they manage. This is crucial for us to prevent accidental or unauthorized deletion of critical workspaces containing important documentation and collaboration history.

I've reviewed the standard permissions and settings available in Confluence Cloud but haven't found a straightforward way to achieve this level of granularity in permission control. Our goal is to maintain the flexibility and autonomy of space admins to manage their spaces effectively while ensuring that the deletion of any space is a controlled and deliberate action taken by a site admin.

Could anyone in the community advise if they've managed to implement a similar restriction within their Confluence environment? Are there any workarounds, third-party tools, or best practices that you could recommend to help us set up this kind of permission scheme?

Any insights, suggestions, or guidance on how we might achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!


Answers:
author: Linh Pham_Ricksoft_Inc
body: Hi [@Aresky Bandera](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5150122)

It looks like this permission control has been raised before (<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-8063>) but unfortunately, I don't think there's a resolution.

However, the space removal will only move space to trash - **only Confluence site admin can restore or permanently delete a space**. This means there's still somewhat control over space admin permission that prevents unauthorized or accidental space deletion.

(<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/delete-a-space/>)

I'm not aware of any apps that can achieve the granular permission control as your requirements, sorry.

What's the data retention policy for Confluence?
Asked by Stephanie Hurt:

What's the data retention policy for Confluence?


Answers:
author: Darin - Opus Guard
body: [@Stephanie Hurt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4407254) in general there's no default retention policy for content created in Atlassian Confluence. There is a period after your instance goes inactive (if you abandon a free version) in which Atlassian will delete the space including the underlying content.

Check out [Content Retention Manager for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233769/content-retention-manager-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) on the Atlassian Marketplace. It simple and helps you keep your storage down, keep your spaces clean, and help with data retention compliance if you're going for ISO/SOC2.

Set up MFA or control if MFA is set up for individual users
Asked by M_ Ludwig:

Hi Team,

we want to check if our users have set up their MFA and set it by hand where not.

In Atlassian administration we can not see any link to check or set.

And no we do NOT want to activate acess for $4/month and user only for this.

So how we can check and set if a particular user has not activated MFA?

Greetings,

Marja


Answers:
author: M_ Ludwig
body: Hello all,

We see another problem that can be verified.  
My own account has MFA enabled.  
But if I now log in using my (same name) account which is with office365, the MFA is completely ignored and not queried.  
Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

So my question: can we deactivate the alternative logins for our Confluence Space?

greetings,

Marja

Does Confluence have REST API to create user accounts and add the accounts to a group?

Branded Templates
Asked by Juan Pantas:

Hello all, I wanted to ask the community if anyone had any idea of how to create customized, branded templates. We are currently using Confluence as a Knowledge Base and a lot of the documents we create, must abide by our company's branding policies.

* A big part of branding is to have an editable header that will contain the document name, audience it is intended for and the company's name. As such:

![Document.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/310280iCF58B5CDDEEF75F6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Document.jpg")

* The body of the document is pretty standard.
* The footer will need to contain a copyright warning.

I tried to create a new template, but the header part is not customizable. Does anyone have any recommendations or any tools they might have used to create more customized templates?

Much appreciated!


Answers:
author: Jan Kuntscher - appanvil - Aura Karma Mantra

body: Hi [@Vikram Simha Reddy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5445159)

Integrating Confluence Wiki with Salesforce to access Confluence content and attachments within Salesforce, especially with Single Sign-On (SSO), may require a custom solution. While there are apps on the Salesforce AppExchange for accessing Salesforce data within Confluence, your need is the reverse. You might consider using a platform like [Skyvia](https://skyvia.com/data-integration/integrate-salesforce-confluence-cloud), which offers cloud-based integration solutions. Skyvia can potentially provide a more tailored approach to integrate Confluence Wiki into Salesforce, allowing your Salesforce users to access Confluence information without leaving the Salesforce environment.

Please visit the below web link for details

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!  
Thank you very much and have a great one!

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Certainly, the Confluence/Jira Software cloud free plan can be utilized for self-exploration of its features and for learning purposes. However, it's important to note that not all features are available on the free plan due to certain limitations. Below are some of the restrictions you may encounter:

The Free plan for confluence cloud is for small teams of up to 10 people who are just getting started with Confluence.

### Confluence Free Plan {#toc-hId-2114977523}

On the Free plan you get:

* Seats for up to 10 users

* 2 GB of file storage

* Unlimited spaces and pages

* Support from the [Atlassian Community](https://community.atlassian.com/)

  * (a public forum of community experts where you can ask questions)

[Permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-confluence-cloud-permissions-and-restrictions/) aren't customizable and anonymous access isn't available. Everyone who can log in to your Confluence Free instance can view, add, and edit spaces and pages.

If you migrate from Confluence Data Center to a free Confluence Cloud plan --- or if you move from a paid Confluence Cloud plan to Confluence Free --- your existing global, space, and page permissions will be retained, but anonymous access will be disabled. You won't be able to change permissions or enable anonymous access unless you upgrade to a paid plan. Read more about [permissions and restrictions in the Free plan](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-permissions-in-the-free-edition-of-confluence-cloud/).  
Confluence instances on the Free plan will be **deactivated after 120 days of inactivity**.

To avoid deactivation, just log in and view any Confluence page --- that'll count as activity and reset the 120-day clock.

If your instance is at risk of being deactivated due to inactivity, Atlassian will email the Confluence admin so they can log in and prevent deactivation.

### Jira Free Plan {#toc-hId-307523060}

On the Free plan you get:  
* Up to 10 users
* [Unlimited Project boards](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing#)
* [Backlog and timeline](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing#)
* [Reporting and insights](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing#)
* 2 GB of storage
* [Community Support](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing#)  
Please refer [this link](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/pricing) to compare the features available on all the plans.  
Hope this helps.
