Recently-worked-on as a macro
Asked by Thomas Schlegel:

Hi,

I would like to put the recently-worked-on part of the original Confluence dashboard on our custom dashboard but I haven't found this as a macro or script or anything else.

Is there something like this?

Thank you


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Thomas,

You could use the [Recently Updated Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/recently-updated-dashboard-macro-169607931.html) and then set the target user as desired.

Unfortunately it's not possible to set "currently logged in user" as the target user. This was a feature request previously but it has since been closed:

* [CONFSERVER-39299](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-39299) *Please allow 'recently updated' macro to display only items of current logged in user*

I'm not aware of another way to include that, but hopefully another Community member might be aware of a script you could use.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Thank you [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046)

it's not exactly what I need. If a user is not saving the changes and leaves the page as a draft, it will not be in the list of the recently updated pages I think.


author: Shannon S
body: Thomas,

I'm sorry to hear that won't work for you. It might be possible with a User Macro, but I'm not really familiar enough with that to be able to tell you what exactly it would need to contain.

I've boosted the signal on this so hopefully someone might have some advice for you in terms of a User Macro, but I've raised a feature request for this below:

* [CONFSERVER-58002](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58002) *Ability to use Recently Worked On from dashboard as a macro*

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Thank you [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) , that's great.

I also asked Mohami, the vendor of the dashboard app we use. They told me that they already work on that and a solution will come soon with a new version of their app.


author: Shannon S
body: That's great news! Is this an app available on Marketplace, in case any other users are interested in it?

Regards,

Shannon


author: Thomas Schlegel

How do I rename a KEY Space name in Confluence so I can export and import into another cloud instanc
Asked by Barry Freedman:

I am trying to import (merge) Spaces from one Cloud Confluence instance to another. I have encountered an issue where there are Spaces in that use the same KEY identifiers. I have tried editing the entries.xml and exportdescriptors file and even run the clean up tool for the entities file but, keep getting the: "com.atlassian.confluence.importexport.ImportExportException: Unable to complete import: Content is not allowed in prolog." error.

Help would be most appreciated with this!

Thanks

comments: author: Barry Freedman

Thanks for the effort though.

author: Jeremy Linkletter
body: Hi Barry,

Did you ever happen to get a solution to this? I am having the same issue in cloud...export, edit entities and exportDescriptor file, then get the error, "com.atlassian.confluence.importexport.ImportExportException: Unable to complete import: Content is not allowed in prolog."

Anything you can share would be very helpful!

Jeremy


author: Barry Freedman
body: Short Answer is No.

This is what I ended up doing (workaround):

1. In Destination Space:

a. Created a new space with **Same Name** and **Different Key**

EG: existing space named IT with Key of IT. New space is IT with Key of ITSS

b. Did bulk move of pages to new space. Very easy as it keeps all the internal links and metadata. Just need to watch out for anything is in Draft/unpublished.

c. Once all pages and attachments were moved, I exported the space (as a backup) and then deleted the space.

Note: I did need to have Atlassian re-index the back end as something did get hosed up and, with cloud, there is no database interface for use admins.

2. In Source space, I exported the spaces individually.

3. Imported the spaces individually and verified content.

Note: All "Links" in docs are hardcoded and not updated to reflect new space url. EG. Page with link to another space would not be updated with the migration as it doesn't see that as metadata....at least, that was my experience...

<br />

I did try all the other methods (editing the XML file but, there was always something that failed and it wasn't worth the time/effort compared to how many spaces I needed to migrate and the content in them...

Good luck...I"m now doing the Jira merge/migration and that's much more painful...

When i create the page in one space it creates in another
Asked by Aleksandr:

Hi! I have a trouble with one user in my confluence team.

He has permission to watch in one space and edit only one page in this space (space_01), and has permissions to edit another one space (space_02).

When he try to create page in those one page in space_01, the page creates in space_02.

Permissions are assigned to groups.

Maybe someone know, how to solve this problem?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That sounds correct to me. You said he only has watch in space_01 (the "edit only one page" suggests you've added him to the restriction, but that's irrelevant as he has no create/edit in the space). So when he creates a page, Confluence has to create it somewhere that he does have create access - space_02.

comments: author: Aleksandr
body: [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) Yes, you are right, I assumed that way.

Is it possible, to give permissions to create/edit only in one parent page in the space?

Example "set page location":

![??????.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/46943iAE86C45C209AECA4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "??????.PNG")


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to grant the user the right to edit pages in the space first, then you would have to limit the pages you do not want them to edit by placing edit restrictions on them.


author: Aleksandr
body: That sound bad for me.

If i have 50 pages in the space and need to grand access to only one page, i must edit restrictions for other 49 pages?

Can I translate Confluence by myself?
Asked by Igor Olikh:

Hi,

How can I help in translation of Confluence to Hebrew? Do you have some "resource file" that I can translate in order to integrate it in Confluence?

I want to use Confluence in my company but it must be translated to Hebrew so I am looking the opportunity to do it.

Regards,

Igor


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Igor,

Hebrew isn't one of [our available languages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/choosing-a-default-language-214860191.html), but you might be able to translate using an [add-on from Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=translate).

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Kerry Williams
body: Does this mean I cannot translate my confluence publication to Hindi?

Also do you know if there is any training on how to use the apps in your Marketplace link?

Thanks


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kerry,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! Thank you for following-up on this thread. Correct, there is not a translation feature within Confluence itself. As Hindi isn't one of Confluence's available languages, you might be able to find an add-on that provides it.

The Apps in Marketplace are 3rd party apps, meaning, Atlassian didn't create them. They are each run by a separate party. On the Marketplace listing of an app, have a look at the **Support** tab. Here it will provide you with a means to contact the company that developed the add-on, as well as any available documentation.

I hope that helps!

Let me know if you have any additional questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon
Error uploading documents
Asked by James Zanzarelli:

Hi,

I can't upload documents to a Confluence page, the files are: csv, python script, and pkl.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi James!

I understand you are receiving errors uploading files to a page. To help us better understand the issue, the following information will be helpful:

* What steps are you taking to upload the file?
* At what point does the upload fail, and what does the error message say? (screenshots will be helpful here to understand where and how the error is thrown)
* Does this happen for *every* file, or only for the file types you mentioned?
* Has this always happened, or this a new issue?
* If a new issue, have there been any recent changes to your environment?
* Does this happen on every page?

Thanks!

image for single page pdf export
Asked by Confluence Cloud Admin - Reliste:

Hi togehter,

yes there are some other threads about this topic, but nothing is really satisfying.

By inserting this into the main CSS PDF template:

[@pagetTeng](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2589484)  
{  
background-image: url('/download/attachments/xxxxx/xxxxx.jpg');  
background-repeat: no-repeat;  
background-position: top right;  
}

....It works, but the image output quality on the PDF is not quite good, esp. if you use text within. Going bigger than 55px in height will result in text collision and even give the header more space by using margin(etc.) does not effect the quality of the used image.

Any suggestions ?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Jochen,

What will be the function of the image in your PDF file? Do you intend to use it as a watermark, for example?

If you were to host the image elsewhere, instead of grabbing from a Confluence attachment, does the same happen with the quality?

Could you show us an example of how the image looks vs how you expect it to look (i.e. the original file)?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Confluence Cloud Admin - Reliste
body: The purpose of the image is to export var. documents as PDF with our company-header (like we have on our stationery).

As far as I can see, the main problem is the reslolution, because it seems that only 96dpi is used, so i can only use a pixture around 800px wide.

Higher quality images like normal DIN A4 paper by 600dpi are around 5000px wide, but will be cut off and not fitted.


author: Shannon S
body: Jochen,

Thank you for letting me know that.

About my other questions - were you able to confirm if you host the image elsewhere, does it help? What about the examples of how it looks currently vs what's expected?

Regards,

Shannon

track changes before publish (internal review)
Asked by Vered Tsukerman:

Hi,

Is there a way to have "internal" review on a page before hitting save and publish? Meaning to work on a page with a collogue, to add notes, to change and then once done to hit save and publish.

Thanks,  
Vered.


Answers:
author: Tarun Sapra
body: Hello [@Vered Tsukerman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2770592)

You can use the "Page level permissions" so that only you and your colleague can view and edit the page and no-one else. And once your work is done then you can remove the restrictions so that everyone can view the page.

comments: author: Tarun Sapra
body: From the docs

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

but then our comments and corrections will still be counted as a version and will be visible once restrictions removed... right?

How to show all of feedback after correct answer in Quiz macro (Confluence)?
Asked by Rebecca Dai:

In Confluence, when using the Quiz macro, there is an option to add feedback after a participant clicks the correct answer. However, we are finding that in the "take the quiz" phase the feedback gets cut off regardless of what size screen or maximising the browser. Is this a bug or can it be configured?

User mentions not working in a template?
Asked by Douglas Lee:

I'm creating a new page template, but when I type '@' to invoke the user mentions auto-complete, nothing pops up. I'm 100% certain that this used to work, and I even have pre-existing templates that I've created that have user mentions on them. BTW, when I'm just creating or editing a page (non-template), the '@' works correctly.

Please advise.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Douglas,

We have a feature request below to allow mentions in templates:

* [CONFCLOUD-38204](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38204) *Allow @mentions in template variables*

Please vote on it and watch in order to be updated of any changes!

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Douglas Lee
body: Hi Shannon,

Thanks for following up. The issue I've reported is not related to template variables. When I'm editing a normal page and type '@', the user widget pops up for me to select a user. When I edit a template, I expect the same behavior, but currently it doesn't do that. However, I know this has worked within the last 6 months at least, because I have existing templates that have user mentions on them.

Doug


author: Shannon S
body: Doug,

The word 'variables' threw me off as well, but I researched instances of this occurring in our support queue, and 100% of them link to this same bug. So I would say it applies to your issue.

I've added an internal comment as well to make sure the developers are aware it's happening anytime while editing a template.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Doug - my apologies, but I am also going to raise a separate ticket linking to the original ticket, stating that all mentions are not possible in templates. Hope we can get a bit more views on that one.

Please vote on this one as well:

Authenticate to RSS Feed
Asked by Josh Santangelo:

On the [RSS Feed Builder page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/the-rss-feed-builder-724765362.html) it talks about an authenticated feed, but the only info I can find about how to authenticate is to prepend http://username:password@ to the URL. However my company is using g-suite SSO, so I'm not sure what my username/password would be.

Another user asked [the same question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Authenticate-to-RSS-Feed/qaq-p/858279), and it sounds like the password might be an API key, but I don't know what my username would be.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Josh,

Your username would be your email address, and you can enter the token as the password, as you suspected.

Please be advised you cannot pass this information in the URL, you need to enter it in your feed reader's authentication settings for that feed.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.
