Identify all pages with broken JQL
Asked by Ramajayam Iyer:

Hello,

We are using Confluence Server and have lots of pages which reference JIRA issues. The JQL in some of the pages are erroneous and some URL links are broken.

Is there any out of box macro or addon software which can help us identify these pages?

Any other recommendations are also welcome.

Thanks

Ram

Initially, I would recommend taking a look at the macro usage statistics.

* [Macro usage statistics](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/macros-139387.html#Macros-Macrousagestatistics)

> Confluence administrators can check how often each macro is used in your site.
>
> To see how often a macro is used, go to ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/747833194/747833195/2/1517274813281/cog.png) \> **General Configuration** \> **Macro Usage**. This lists how often each macro is used in current spaces but doesn't include any macros used on pages in archived spaces or macros provided by disabled apps.

You will definitely find add-ons or even user macros that help you to get these pages but you should be able to identify your pages if you're using macros that refer to the Jira issues.

Cheers,

IL.

Microsoft vs Atlassian confluence small business
Asked by Prabath Kamalasena:

Hi All,

I am a small business and I started using Atlassian cloud confluence as the documentation platform. So far I am impressed with the platform and much easier to use compared to MS word etc. Formatting is very consistent in confluence. I also subscribe to office 365 and emails service through MS. I am wondering if Atlassian provides email service? I would like to avoid paying for two platforms as the business grow.

thanks

How can I hide archived pages from Children Display macro?
Asked by Jennifer McVicker:

It looks like there is no option to hide "archived" pages from a Children Display macro. This looks like a bug to me.


Answers:
author: RPT Admin
body: Yup, I thought this too. When I first saw the Archive option I immediately thought it was a great way to deprecate obsolete content.

Nope. It's still searchable, still has the same access permissions. Totally useless in my use case.

comments: author: Jennifer McVicker
body: I ended up moving the archived pages under another page, which I archived. So there's a workaround, but it's super clunky.

How to block template users from changing template field titles and formating ?
Asked by Malgorzata_Szmyd:

We are moving our KDB (pdf documentation/word documentation) from SharePoint to Confluence. An idea was to have all documents in same format within a template. Document Owners would be obligated to move them from SharePoint to Confluence.

A template has been created and it has it's structure - but when we got it tested document Owners would copy paste text to the Confluence template and therefore they would copy it together with formatting.

I want the user to create a document based on a template, but ONLY allow the user to change field data within the template, without altering the field titles and formatting.


Answers:
author: Magic Mike
body: Hi [@Malgorzata_Szmyd](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3934264)

Template is more a guideline than real form. If you use variables (single line, multi line text or select list) in your template though they will have to only fill in the variable before accessing the page edition.

You could instructed them to click publish when they have fill in the variables.

In any case, the best is to have a moderator to review all content to make sure it is always consistent.

Best regards,

Mike

Show Display Section Numbers with Headings
Asked by Brian Hulse:

The Table of Contents macro will Display Section Numbering. How can Make this show with the heading? This shows in the Table of Contents, but not the body of the page. How do I enable that on the page headings?

Example:

1. First heading

1.1 Sub-heading 1 of First

1.2 Sub-heading 2 of First

2. Second heading


Answers:
author: Brian Hulse
body: In [Numbered Heading Sections](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Numbered-Section-Headings/qaq-p/290206), I found the opinion that, "Natively, you don't - numbered headings aren't particularly pretty or useful on web-based docs", followed by "so Confluence doesn't have them built in".

I don't agree and it appears that a paid solution like [Numbered-headings](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/16063/numbered-headings) is the only option. Why they're useful in the Table of Contents macro and not a page feels inconsistent - my 2 cents.

You can mention someone who is not part of your instance, especially on cloud. You can mention a customer on a JSM project, just because someone placed him as a customer.

Unfortunately, if your customer doesn't have a license, you can't mention him/her.

Hi Annette

welcome to the Atlassian community.

To transfer spaces between servers you could use the export / import feature (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-139475.html> / [https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html)](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html)

Within a confluence instance you can use the copy/move options to transfer the pages you would like to, see <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/move-and-reorder-pages-146407727.html>

Hope that helps

Cheers

how to publish Jenkins build to confluence
Asked by senai.teklemichael:

So I'm working in a situation where we are conducting frequent performance tests using Jenkins and Gatling. When a particular jenkins job is done running, it produces a log with an attached Gatling report. What i would like to do is generate a confluence page in a predefined space that contains:

* date of the test
* the jenkins parameters used to run the Job
* link to the jenkins job
* link to the gatling report
* and if possible a snippet of the jenkins log (not the whole thing but just a selected part)

I have looked at several option but none seem to provide the specificity i'm looking for.


Answers:
author: Ganesh Gautam
body: Hi Senai,

Thanks so much for your question.

It looks like you are trying to use an artefact from a Jenkins build (happens to be html) and push it to Confluence page.

You can choose to use Confluence REST API(bash/ruby/nodejs) and add a task to your Jenkins pipeline. Confluence supports REST endpoints for [creating a new page](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/#manipulating-content) and [uploading new attachments to a page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/using-the-confluence-rest-api-to-upload-an-attachment-to-one-or-more-pages-1014274390.html). Please follow [this Rest API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/#manipulating-content) guide to upload the html created in previous task.

Pro-tip: Instead of basic auth, you can choose to use Personal Access token in your script to do so in Confluence 7.10 and above.

Thank you,

Ganesh Gautam

How do I enable Confluence page level notifications in Slack?
Asked by Zachary Van Veen:

I have setup the integration between Slack \& Confluence server (V6.13.4). Right now I'm only able to get notifications whenever the space is updated. How do I customize it so I get notifications only from specific Pages?   

I want to route the notifications to specific pages, to specific slack channels. So when a Page/sub-page is updated, it will notify a slack channel.

author: Mark Miglio
body: [@Zachary Van Veen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3836495) when you set up the notify settings to watch a page, if that page is the space home page, you will be able to make that happen.

Hit **... \| Slack Notification**

Then you will see:

**Send notifications when someone**

* **Edits this page**
* **Comments on this page**
* **Adds a child page**
* **Edits a child page**
* **Comments on a child page**

These options (bullets = check on/off options) should suit you just fine.   
Please note all 5 checked will create a heck of a lot of notifications to email / slack and could be way too much noise for folks.

How do I download a template and use in server?
Asked by Aaron Myers:

There is a nice list of page templates on the main site but they appear to only be for cloud? Is there a way to get/download them for server? This is an example:

<https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/templates/performance-improvement-plan>

For the life of me I can't figure out how and I'd rather not manually create them if I don't have to.

Thanks!  
Aaron


Answers:
author: Teng-Kiat Lee
body: I think I figured this out.

1. Sign up for a free Cloud Confluence account.
2. Once you're logged into the Cloud account,create a page with the template you want to use.
3. Save/Publish the page.
4. On that page, click on the (...) and select "Advanced details", and under that select "View Source".
5. Use your mouse to select the whole page of content and Ctrl-C to copy it.
6. Back on your data-center Confluence, go create a new template.
7. Paste the whole chunk you just copied from the Cloud version into this new template.
8. Save it and now you have a template that has all the macros correctly copied over from the Cloud version.


author: Russell
body: I'm also looking for an answer on this one but have been unable to find one yet. Will post back on here if I find one.

comments: author: Andr? K_
body: just follow Teng's instructions, that helps.


author: Russell
body: They do work for most templates but you do lose quite a lot of formatting and if it has macros embedded in the template it can be difficult to bring that functionality across also.

Certainly is a workable method for most instances but is not exactly streamlined unfortunately.

body: Hello [@SMN Tecnologia da Informa??o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1186179) !

After reading your question, it is not clear if we have two different behaviors or one.

With this in mind, I will ask a few questions for clarification:
> 1. *Are you still able to export other pages that do contain the Expand Macro to PDF?*
> 2. *Are you still able to export other pages that do not contain the Expand Macro to PDF?*
> 3. *If you are able to export pages with the Expand Macro, is the content within the macro shown?*
> 4. *Would it be possible for you to share screenshots of PDF Exports that were created before this change?*

When taking the screenshots,++*be sure not to disclose any sensitive information*++. Our community is an open space where everyone can see everything.

To be frank, I never noticed the title of the Expand Macro within PDF exports. Since I am not able to try it on the Cloud platform, I tested it on Confluence Server.

On Confluence Server 6.13.5 the behavior is the same as in Cloud. The Expand Macro title is not displayed.
