How do you change a preview into a link?
Asked by Alicia Montross:

We have a confluence page linking to several documents, but it is automatically embedding a preview, but we would rather it just be a link since the previews are taking such a long time to load since there are so many.


Answers:
author: Ollie Guan
body: Hi [@Alicia Montross](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3856993) ,

When you edit this page, does this part of information refer to some macros? For example 'include page'

If you embed hyperlinks directly in the page, you should see the form of text + links when you browse the page.

comments: author: Alicia Montross
body: The problem is I do not want the links to render a preview- I just want the link.

Is there a way to make the "Create from Template" button text bold?
Asked by Nancy Greenfield:

The Confluence macro, "Create from Template" has config fields to specify a label on your CfT button, but it renders in plain text that doesn't look like a link. Is there a way to make the button text **bold**?


Answers:
author: Parvaneh Zand
body: Hi [@Nancy Greenfield](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1030782)

I think the only way is to edit your space's CSS style sheets.

Click on Space tools and select Look and Feel.

Choose **Stylesheet** and edit it.

Paste this CSS in the text area and save it.

```
#main-content a.create-from-template-button {font-weight: bold;}  
```

How to have different users for Confluence vs JIRA
Asked by Keirstin Carson:

When trying to disable users in Confluence, it does not allow me to but instead says it is read only (the user list is coming from the JIRA instance which is using active directory). I need to have my 100 licenses available for JIRA, but only 10 for Confluence. When I initially purchased the Confluence add-on I read that you did not have to match your JIRA users and Confluence users.


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: To remove Confluence access for a user you just have to remove the user from the group that give them access, by default that group is called confluence-users. Since you are using Jira as your user directory in Confluence you have to this from within Jira.

comments: author: Keirstin Carson
body: The users I am not able to remove are not showing the confluence-users group on their profile. The confluence-user group is not displaying in the user profiles to add from the JIRA side. I talked to our network team and they had to create an Active Directory group for all of the JIRA users (this is the only group that is active for the user's profile but it is read only, so I cannot remove it), so we might have to do the same for confluence. This way I just don't pull in the users to Confluence. Then I can add the confluence-users group to actually give them access. Thank you for your help!

how to create a folder in a page space
Asked by Dhivya Rathinasamy Gunasekaran:

Hi,

I am new to confluence, working on getting the information to put together in our project created own space. I am able to create pages. Can someone guide me how do I create a different folder under page tree because the pages created have to go under different folders.

Also please share if there is any useful guidance document to refer throughout to complete my work.

Appreciate your assistance!

Thanks

Dhivya


Answers:

body: Hi [@Dhivya Rathinasamy Gunasekaran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3856037) ,

there's nothing like a folder in Confluence. Just pages.

A page can be something like a folder if its purpose is to have child pages.

A folder page should at least contain the "children" macro, so it is showing all the pages underneath and not just an empty page.

comments: author: Dhivya Rathinasamy Gunasekaran
body: Thanks for your reply. I checked "how do I add macro" section I don't see children macro instead I see following others

Hide children page

How can I reset my password to my jira account? Forget password link doesn't work.
Asked by Jennifer:

When I click the "forget password" link, I get an email saying:

"A request has been received to reset your password. This user account is managed in an external User directory and Jira is not able to update your password. Please contact your System Administrator if you have further queries."

you have to ask an administrator within your organization. As the message says, there is an "external user directory" - external for Jira. That means, it must be managed by your company / organization.
From Word Document, can I automatically add labels to a Confluence page?
Asked by Sam:

Is there a way to add marked text to a Word document so that, when the document is imported to become a Confluence page, the resulting page has a label based on the marked text?

How can I center a header of confluence?
Asked by Howard Nedd:

Hi Experts,  

I added a livesearch macro to my header (of a confluence space) but i'm not able to "center" the macro, it shows up on the left but I want it have it centered.

This is what I currently have:

```

Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: [@Howard Nedd](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2416436) , you can achieve this using section and column macros to create a table that allows you to control this. You can add your livesearch macro within the columns. Take a look at the table type 2.

How do I get access to certain spaces?
Asked by Georgia Demopoulou:

I'm struggling to access a personal space of a colleague. It simply pops up with 'page not found', yet my other colleagues are able to access that space. After comparing access with other colleagues, it seems like I am not able to access many other spaces, such as DDaT Confluence.

I saw there was a FAQ on accessing a colleague's personal space: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-give-access-to-the-personal-space-of-a-team-member/qaq-p/349237>

It says to go to the user's space in order to get access to the space, however I am unable to even find the user's space in my situation. So it seems like I just don't have access to many spaces, not just this one, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

I will be looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Georgia


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi [@Georgia Demopoulou](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3855144) ,

you have to ask the colleague to give you the permission to view his space.

I think you should also talk to your Confluence Administrator. As you are missing many other spaces too, it may be that you are not member of groups which are used for the permission.
Save for later button not working in version management

Copying tables from Google Sheet to Confluence
Asked by Tam?s Beke:

Hi!

Is it possible to copy a table from Google Sheets into a template table in Confluence to get normal result?

It pastes all the table content into the cell I'm inside and leave empty the others. It's really annoying, it should be a very basic function.

And it is important for me that the template tables are present in confluence.

The result I get:

author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Tam?s Beke](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3855009) ,

For large tables we use the following workaround:

* copy the share link of your Google Docs Spreadsheet
* change its ending: "edit?usp=sharing" -\> "export?\&format=tsv" (or "export?\&format=csv")
* paste the modified link to your browser and go to it: you will be prompted to download your file in the chosen format
* use the [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro to recreate your table in Confluence

The Table from CSV macro is a part of the[Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app which can help you to make pivots, perform calculations, merge and transform tables, freeze rows, built custom charts, etc.

It's a wonderful solution to enhance the standard Confluence functionality which provides an opportunity to perform all the required operations in Confluence without switching back to Google Docs or Excel.


author: Shardul Juyal {Addteq}
body: I usually create an empty table first and then copy the contents in. Works most of the time.

I don't want to make a new tab when I click some pages in confluence.
Asked by ??:

When I click some pages in confluence, new tab is added in a browser.

Sometimes too much tabs exist in my browser.

How can I go next page in same tab?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@??](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3854863)

That's a strange behaviour. Because in default, the new page should open in the same tab.

I have two guesses:

* An add-on was installed, which always opens links in a new tab
* A Javascript / or CSS has been programmed, so the link opens in a new tab.

Both possible solutions should be discussed with your administrator, because if one of them is really true, your administrator has created this behaviour.

If neither of them applies, let me know. I would then be interested to know what kind of links they are?

Regards, Dominic

comments: author: ??
body: Yes, it was caused by add-on program.

I am using an add-on program(gliffy diagram) for process modeling.

Only in case that I click the link inside add-on program, new tab is added in the browser.

Otherwise, new page open in the same tab.

Thank you.


author: klangford

Depending on which version of Confluence you're using, you could consider using the Confluence Companion App. You can attached a file (in this case your excel document) to Confluence as an attachment and edit using the Companion App. This will push all updates to the file and mean the visible file within Confluence is the latest version.

Natively, there are no options to do this in Confluence, and you will need to try one of the apps available from the Marketplace. Try searching for "spreadsheet".
