Excerpt Include: Inexplicable white space shows after included excerpt
Asked by Patrick O_Connell:

Hello, all.

I finally decided to at least give a try to cutting down re-work by modularizing things with Excerpt and Excerpt Include. I had previously only used these two in the construction of a glossary.

I will say that it's not the end of the world if I can't fix this, but it's annoying!

What's happening is that in the previewed or saved target page, after where I have the Excerpt Include macro, there's white space:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/180376iC0DB773B8C874F19/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

It's *not:*

1. White pixels at the bottom of that image.
2. Anything I've specified, such as empty paragraphs, that would generate this blank, white space.

I suspect this is just the nature of the Confluence beast, but suggestions are welcome.

For anyone else who's thinking of trying the same thing, I also had planned to have each Excerpt Include inside an Expand macro. Thought it would be cool - "Click here to expand this and see prerequisite information."

However, the text winds up indented, and I wanted what's included to mesh seamlessly with the surrounding text on the target page. If the indenting doesn't bother you...

Is there a way to give the old look to the PPP attachments?
Asked by Ivan Rubio:

On the past the Power Point Presentations had a different appearance:![Screenshot 2022-01-27 122500.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/180358iE3B771628E8293FB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2022-01-27 122500.png")

Which allows to presentation and edit file

Now a days they look like this:

Welcome to the community.

Are you using the PPT macro or just attaching the file. Also, which environment are you on? (cloud vs server)

Change the name of the base space?
Asked by Ryan Ahrens:

Hi! I was setting up a cloud instance of Confluence mostly for IT Ops, then realized that so many other teams could use it, however, I named the 1st or main space as IT Operations, and I'd like to change it to somethin a bit more generic, and therefore create the various teams/departments to hang off f it. When I use the edit icon over the base name of IT operations, it just creates a subpage/space with that name..... help?!


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Ryan Ahrens](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4731357) . When you refer to the "base" Space, what exactly are you referring to? Obviously, with confluence you can have as many spaces as you want. So your other teams could create their own space while maintaining your IT Ops space. Could you explain further?

Space list no Archive
Asked by Ayelet Gazit:

I am trying to display a list of all non-archived spaces, and the space list macro doesnt seem to have this option.

how can I achieve this?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Ayelet Gazit](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4701411) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Currently the [Spaces List Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Spaces+List+Macro) lists all spaces, even if they are archived. There is a suggestion raised with Atlassian to not list archived spaces using that macro, which you can track here -

[Spaces List Macro should not list archived spaces](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-33836)

I would suggest you to vote for it and start watching it for updates.

comments: author: Ayelet Gazit
body: Thanks, I voted. How else would you suggest me to display a list of active spaces?  
I don't mind writing manually which spaces I want to display, but want to be able to display a list of multiple non archives spaces.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Great. If you are familiar with REST API, [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224) has already given a solution in his response (thank you Pramodh for that) which is an efficient way and will save your time.


author: Ayelet Gazit
body: well, I am not really familiar with REST API. How do I use that inside the page? is there a macro for that?


author: Ayelet Gazit
body: [@Pramodh M](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3691224) can you point me to a guide / explanation?  
Thank you for your help!


author: Pramodh M
body: Install Git Bash, JQ tools in your local system

<https://git-scm.com/downloads>

<https://stedolan.github.io/jq/>

and run the commands replacing all the parameters in API

You need to create a API token in here <https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens>

author: Pramodh M
body: FYI and to get the Active spaces, change the API as

Capability to run access statistics for Confluence space/pages
Asked by Sandra Lawrence:

Hi - I was hoping there was a way to run reports (within Confluence and not through a purchased macro) to capture statistics on page access and use, etc.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: Unfortunately there are not many good free apps that can do this on Confluence Cloud. You can try a trial of [Google Analytics for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216936/google-analytics-in-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) which is decent. I have not found anything nearly as good as the built in insights available on a Premium Plan.


author: Jens
body: Hi Sandra,

There is [Analytics for Confluence Data Centre](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/analytics-1044780333.html) but there is also something to be found on the Marketplace, e. g. [Usage Statistics for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224662/usage-statistics-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) (for Cloud, free).

Hope that helps.

How do I make the confluence page with tables and diagrams responsive?
Asked by Jignesh Patel:

author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Jignesh Patel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4645818)

The tables are responsive by default, and pages become horizontally scrollable if you have a smaller screen on desktop mode.

Could you please include the screenshot to show us the image of how it's displaying!!

Also make sure you have not pasted content from another HTML source as that can paste in formatting as well.

comments: author: Bill Bailey
body: I think we need some screenshots to really understand what is going on. One thing I have seen in the past is that people with small screens often have scaling set to 150% at the system level. This setting can cause pages to not act the way you would expect.

[@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) My zoom is at 75% and on 13in laptop what saying is I think page itself not responsive build. If I zoom out to 50% then I can see the entire page


author: Bill Bailey
body: If resizing the image to smaller does not fix the problem, I hate to tell you, that if it is an issue with all pages, then you will have to live with it. You have ZERO control over the CSS with Cloud.

I would check to see if this is a known issue that might be being worked. Or you need to file one.

Can you create a file list as a template
Asked by Kathryn Gerrell:

I'm currently setting up some Confluence documentation structure and standards for the organisation I work for. Part of this includes stating that if you are attaching a document (regardless of document type), then this should be done via a file list.

I would like to create a template for this so each user is sticking to the same directed standards, but cannot see how I can do this. When I select to add a global page template, I can't see anything available to select a file list.

Does anyone know if this is even possible?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Kathryn Gerrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4706649) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!  

You can insert the [Attachments macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-attachments-macro/) which displays a list of files attached to a page. You can also add this macro to your template if required, so it will be automatically added to pages created using this template. Is this what you are looking for ?

comments: author: Kathryn Gerrell
body: Hi [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991)

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately I'm not sure it is what I'm looking for, but I appreciate your help. I think I've decided what I'm asking for does not exist.....

I'm very new with Confluence so just finding my feet :-)


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Kathryn Gerrell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4706649)   

Not a problem, and you are right that you might not be able to achieve this using Template functionality. You might want to explore third party apps on [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=attachments) to see any of them meets your requirement.

I try to find information about parameters of workflow in Confluence
Asked by Ksennia Voronova:

Hello!

I try to find information about parameters of workflow in Confluence.

Is it possible in Confluence to set the time for completing a task at a certain approval stage in the workflow parameters? and if an employee approved on a document out of time, later than the schedule, does he receive a notification from the system that he has overstayed the task? Do you think there is such a functionality in the workflow parameters?

I hope you will give me a hand.

Hello [@Ksennia Voronova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4689950) , based on my understanding of your use case it should be possible to design a workflow to meet your needs.

As there are differences between Comala Document Management on the different platforms... Could you confirm if you are on Confluence Cloud or Server / DC?

If you are not sure, check the URL in your browser, if it says **\<your company\>.atlassian.net** then you are on Cloud.

I've just taken a look into the documentation and depending on which version you are using there is information available that should be useful. Please see below:

* [On-Premise](https://wiki.comalatech.com/display/CDML/State+expiry+date)

I would also recommend reaching out to their Support team who should be able to assist if you have other questions relating to this functionality.

Bug report - links from Draw.IO diagrams cannot be opened or copied like normal links in the browser
Asked by Lukas.Beyeler@dentsplysirona.com:

Creating a draw.io diagram I've added links to Confluence subpages leaving the setting for link behavior on "Automatic". I don't want to force anyone opening the link in the same or in a new tab. "Automatic" doesn't work, it behaves like "open in same tab". Holding CTRL while left clicking the link (i.e. default short-cut to open links in new tab in most browsers) still opens the link in the same tab. There's no link context menu available on right click either, making it impossible to effortlessly copy the address for further use.

This seems like an unintended restriction to navigate the Confluence.

I opened this "discussion" since I cannot report it via <https://support.atlassian.com/contact> since that requires a "Cloud Confluence" URL.


Answers:
author: Lukas.Beyeler@dentsplysirona.com
body: Hi Marija

it definitively doesn't: my browser opens links in the same tab (by default) and in new tabs (holding CTRL), but the click on these links only open in the same tab.

body: Hi,

Automatic follows the current browser behaviour i.e it is related to a browser you are using.

body: Yes, I have 3 options:  
\* Automatic (the one I selected, see my description)

\* Open in same window

change all Confluence internal users e-mail domain name in bulk
Asked by Zhencai Cai:

how to change all Confluence internal users e-mail domain name in bulk? Confluence 7.13.0


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Zhencai Cai](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4624272)

Welcome to the Community!!

If you have managed directory, use the external directory with the same usernames as in the internal directory to integrate it with Confluence

(Now in the external directory, you should change the email addresses as you need for the usernames and password as well)

This would make the username and password the same but email changed for all the users in your directory

Now if you don't have External Directory, here is the KB reference
