Subscribe to recommended updates - default disabled
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

Hi all

Is it possible, to disable this option per default for new confluence users?

"Subscribe to recommended updates"

I just found this: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf74/configuring-the-recommended-updates-email-notification-1003129451.html>

Thanks

You should be able to disable the recommended updates email in the administration menu \> Configuration \> Recommended Updates Email:

![Capture d??cran 2021-01-20 ? 17.18.59.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/126514i56230457F97141FD/image-dimensions/477x285?v=v2 "Capture d??cran 2021-01-20 ? 17.18.59.png")

If this doesn't work, you may need to follow this troubleshooting page: [Unable to disable the Send By Default option in Recommended Updates Email Configuration](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-disable-the-send-by-default-option-in-recommended-updates-email-configuration-307039032.html)

Thanks a lot.

Do I turn off all recommended Email Updates? We have some people who want to get these mails. So I don't want to turn it for for everybody.

Or is it just for new users?

Thanks in advance.

body: Hi [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600),

It's only for new users: by default, this email won't be enabled, but they can opt in in their personal settings. So it will be all good for your current users :)

Best,

Exclude Pages in recommended email notifications
Asked by Dominic Lagger:

Hi all

Is it possible to exclude pages from the recommended email notifications?

Use Case:

We have pages which are open for all. But we do not want, that the recommended emails notification send links to those pages.   
We also don't want to restrict those pages.

Is there any solution?

Thanks

Dominic


Answers:
author: Kian Stack Mumo Systems
body: [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600), it's not possible to exclude pages. Information about how the emails are generated can be found [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/email-notifications-145162.html).  

The only other option would be to disable the recommended email.

How do I insert a link to a document on our share?
Asked by Christina Rasmussen:

I want to insert a link to one of our documents on our share. As in file://.....

Inserting web links (http://) and e-mail addresses (mailto:) works fine, why doesn't it for documents?


Answers:
author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Christina,

The 'file://' bit tells Confluence to look in its filesystem, which isn't allowed via link insertion. Insert the link as a web link and not a file, e.g. 'https://.' Cheers!
Cancel an account deletion - doesn't activate again
Asked by Karsten Markmann (drift):

According to the below article you should be able to cancel an account deletion.

After I click cancel, I get a message that user will be active again, but now several hours later its still marked for deletion?

Is this a bug I need to report, or is there some kind of huge time delay?

/Karsten Markmann

[Delete a managed account \| Atlassian Cloud \| Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/delete-a-managed-account-961259516.html)

Cancel an account deletion {#toc-hId--1294407784}
-------------------------------------------------

If you've scheduled an account for deletion, you can cancel the deletion before the 14-day grace period is over. Once you cancel the deletion, we'll start billing you and other organizations for the user.

To cancel a deletion:

1. From the Managed accounts page, click **Edit account**next to the user's account.

2. From the user's account page, click **Cancel deletion**.

3. From the confirmation dialog that appears, review the Atlassian account services that the user will regain access to and confirm that you want to cancel the deletion.

After you've canceled deletion, the user's account is fully restored and active. We'll send the user an email letting them know they can now log in to all services they previously could access.

How to override space permissions on a specific page for certain users?
Asked by Estee Advisors:

I have created a space with view permissions to all the users, but editing permissions to only a few users.   
However, there is a certain page in this space to which I want to give edit access to all the users. Is it possible? If yes, how? If no, is there a workaround to this problem?


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Estee Advisors](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4230912)

welcome to this wonderful community

As all your users may be part of a certain group permissions would be given to this certain group. I'm pretty sure I know what's your problem is - you have to give full edit permission to this group for the whole space - my first idea mentioning workaround would be:

* Edit permission to all users
* View permissions to all parent pages cause this influences all subpages
* Get the page they are able to edit on first level

Hope this gets you an idea!

Feel free to ask for more help!

Search Confluence Cloud content via REST API by type and label and expand metadata
Asked by Stanis?aw Reduta:

The goal is to retrieve all content from Confluence Cloud by type \`page\` and \`label\` containing \`some-label\` tag.

When searching Confluence using \`cql\` the query does return result set but does not include \`metadata\` (specifically \`labels\`), though \`expand\` key is explicitly passed to the query:

```

https://foobar.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search/?expand=metadata.labels&cql=type=page&label="some-label"
```

What is the reason for \`expand\` being neglected? Or is the query itself misconfigured?

Filter for categories within space directory
Asked by Christian:

Hi,

we are currently using space categories (labels) to organize our spaces.  
(<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/use-labels-to-categorize-spaces-136647.html>)

When browsing the space directory some users have the ability to filter by selecting a category in the left menu. Unfortunately some users don't have the option to filter.

As far as we can tell it depends on the users permission. User with the "confluence administrators" or "system administartors" permission are able to see the categories within the space directory. Others can't. Even if they are allowed on almost all our spaces.

Is there a way we can grant "normal" users the right to see and filter for categories?

We are using confluence server 7.8.1.

Thank you.

Confluence rest API failed with 401 error
Asked by tony.vu:

Hi

We hosted confluence with our own server and in one of our app, we used confluence REST API to retrieve page content with basic authentication (aka username and password). The app has worked well for more than a year, but recently the API failed with 401 Unauthorised error. I hav tried different method:  
- Using the API token instead  
- Using email instead of username

But it always failed with 401 error. Please can you let me know how can I make the API work again.

The API endpoint: rest/api/content  
method: get  
parameter: title=?  
error: Request failed with status code 401

Can I Remove pageID from Pretty URL path
Asked by Geoff Hargreaves:

Hey folks,

having migrated from server to cloud confluence, I notice that in the "pretty" format path, the pageID or some arbitrary number has appeared. This makes it hard for external apps to link to a page unless it is manually configured for each URL (\*not practical)

I am not an admin on it and have no experience in administering cloud based confluence. Just want to know if it is possible to go from:

https://\<domain\>/wiki/spaces/RUN/pages/\<page_id?\>/\<pretty_name\>

to something more akin to:

https://\<domain\>/wiki/display/\<space_key\>/\<pretty_name\>  

or even to the same thing just minus the page_id (I am assuming that is what it is) in the path

Cheers

Geoff


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: You can't control that, but every page has a unique "tiny link" (short URL) available that doesn't change. When viewing a page, use the k shortcut key to get a link to the page and a popup will give you both standard and the short URL links.

comments: author: Geoff Hargreaves
body: Thanks for the response.

That's not ideal. Part of the link from the application is to create/edit a page if it doesn't exist. In this case it was for runbooks.


author: James Dellow
body: Your links will need to look like this for that to work:

```
https://YOURSUBDOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=YOURSPACEKEY&title=YOURPAGETITLE&linkCreation=true
```


author: Geoff Hargreaves
body: If this still works then that is extremely helpful.

Thanks for this


author: Geoff Hargreaves
body: This is indeed the answer. I feel silly for having not tried it. Thanks again James.

Essentially this can be used to link to any page regardless of it's existence and that's exactly what we need here :)

How Do You Embed A Bitbucket Readme File Into Confluence (Not Redirecting Or A Link To It)?

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@supers98](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4225386) !

As I understand, you need to integrate Confluence and Bitbucket so you can embed Bitbucket files in a page.

A very similar question has been asked here in our Community some time ago. Here, take a look:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] insert bitbucket content directly into confluence document](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/insert-bitbucket-content-directly-into-confluence-document/qaq-p/1316916)***++

Let us hear form you!

comments: author: Richard Cross
body: I find this a surprising response from Atlassian Team, since you surely know there is no actual integration between Confluence and Bitbucket.

Even though it's currently possible to create an application link between the two, there are no built-in features that take advantage of this.


author: leo.natanian
body: I too find this a surprising answer. The accepted answer in the link above literally says to use a third party tool. Basically, Atlassian team member is saying, "here is a third party tool that you have to pay for to integrate the two. Just pretend not to notice that the two tools you want to integrate are owned and written by the same company named Atlassian"

Private Board can be searched trough Google
Asked by Riyan P:

In my understanding, when we set a board to private, only member of the board could see the data.

Today I found that it can also be searched through Google. Only happens to one of my 12 boards though.

I have made sure that the board is private, but until now (when I wrote this) i can easily look using google search. Not only the data (cards), but also the activity.

I have asked Trello using message in help section, but there is no response yet, except the auto reply email.

Can anyone please explain?

Thanks in advance.

author: Mike
body: Hi Riyan,

I found your message, and I do see that we responded yesterday.

The only way that a board will show up in Google results is if it had at some point been Public. After you move it to Private, Google may keep the board in its index unless the removal is requested by you.

comments: author: Riyan P
body: Thanks Michael,

I have checked activity log but couldn't found activity that indicates changing of board visibilty, which should be logged as "xxx made this board visible to its members" or "xxx made this board visible to public".

It is currently private, and there is no visibility change logged. So it should mean the board is private since it was created. Please cmiiw.

Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hey Cheri

When hovering over the card, click the pencil icon and click "edit labels". There should be a small "check" on the label that is showing. Click on the "check" to deselect it. This should make the label disappear from the card.

Additionally, when adding a label to a card, you can do so by hovering over the card and tapping the corresponding number key. ie: 1 for yellow. If you tap 1 again, it will remove the label.
