How do I submit a page I've built to be used as a Template?
Asked by Charlotte Morgan:

I have created a page that I would like to submit and use as a template. Is there a way I can do this?


Answers:
author: Nadja Schedler
body: Hi Charlotte,

There is an app to improve the usage of templates and make it easier. No need to copy the content of the page into a template.

The Page Tree Creator will give you the possibility to use any Confluence page as a template and it is even possible to use multi page templates. Check it out on the [marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214062/page-tree-creator-blueprint-template "Page Tree Creator") (available for Cloud, Server and Datacenter)

Best Regards,

Nadja (Software Engineer at EPS Software Engineering AG, the vendor of the Page Tree Creator)

author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi Charlotte,

while you can't technically turn a page into a template, you can copy and paste the content of the page to a blank template. If the content consists any macros, you should copy them in the edit mode.

Hope that helps.

How to design a page from confluence?
Asked by Le mike:

Dear support team:

I really like the products of atlassian company. The atlassian support page looks very professional. How do I design or make such a page in Confluence? What plugin do I need to use? Can you give me instructions or tutorials, thanks.

author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Le mike](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1103097)

Atlassian uses my team's app [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) to theme their help center. With the app, you can use a configurable theme, like we use on [our help site](https://help.k15t.com/), or you can build one from scratch with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Velocity.

Let me know if you want to [see it in action](https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-viewport).

body: Hi [@Le mike](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1103097) ,

You can use the confluence as Cloud or server based on your requirement.

Once the confluence is set up, you can create a space and within space, you can create the pages.

Please go through the link, hope it helps you.

Does reducing the Attachment Maximum Size on Confluence Cloud delete existing larger attachements?
Asked by Gautam:

I am looking to limit file attachments to 100 KB down form 100 MB to limit folks from attaching anything other than pictures. I am working if this can be a data destructive operation?


Answers:
author: Ollie Guan
body: Hi [@Gautam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2326690) ,

No, the attachment size limit will only take effect when there is a new file upload, and will not do any processing on existing attachments.

Who Can Use Questions for Confluence?
Asked by Allison Beaudry:

The company I work for is looking for an online forum/ Q\&A option for our customers to utilize when they encounter questions/issues with our service. It seems like Questions for Confluence would fit the bill. The only question I have is, who can use Questions for Confluence? Would a generic customer be able to utilize it to ask a question, even if they do not have a license?

Thanks,

Allison


Answers:
author: Ollie Guan
body: Hi [@Allison Beaudry](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3573492) ,

Questions access is governed by Confluence space permissions. If someone has access to a space, they'll be able to view, ask, and interact with questions in that space.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/questionscloud/permissions-738361787.html>

The following is an open voting issue, it seems that anonymous users are still not allowed to ask questions and answer.

Editing Lucene stop words does not work
Asked by Viktor:

I am trying to add custom stop words to the Lucene search index.

I followed the instructions at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-remove-stop-words-in-jira-s-lucene-indexing-836111705.html>

and added some words from my language.

Edited the JAR for English, packed the files back in to JAR, replaced the file, restarted Confluence and re-indexed the search.

However, there is no change. The words that I added to the file are still searchable.

Any solutions?

Is there any way to sort comments to show the most recent comments on top?
Asked by Felicity Pastrone:

Email and most other applications sort data to show the most recent items at the top, so that is how our brains are wired to look for things. It is confusing that comments are listed in chronological order, so that the oldest comments always show on top. You have to scroll down to get to the most recent comments.


Answers:
author: Felicity Pastrone
body: Hi [@Felicity Pastrone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3599438) - This question has been raised by folks on community, in the past as well. There does not seem to be a way to do this in confluence cloud. There are scripting options as suggested [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-reverse-the-order-in-which-comments-appear/qaq-p/21425), if you were to be exercising this on server.

How to make PDF export wait for JIRA issue information and states - avoid "Getting issue details..."
Asked by Peter Saulesleja:

We have a problem with Confluence's PDF Export. We are using Server v6.15.4

When we want to send a PDF copy of a page (example: report, with supporting details and JIRA issues linked), we would like to export to PDF from Confluence.

When we do, all the JIRA issues look like this:

PRJ-0001 - Getting Issue Details... Status

where we'd like to see

PRJ-0001 - Fix the thing for the guy In Process

for example...

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69501i9AB5B3021E7E35D7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

We've been working around this by printing the web page with a "Save as PDF" printer driver, but it's not exactly what we wanted.

Anything we're doing wrong (or documented that I can't find) to resolve this issue? It seems a delay or wait between rendering for print, and exporting the PDF might resolve the issue, if we cannot trigger PDF generation on waiting on a response from all JIRA API calls.

Thoughts, Admin Settings to check and Links to open or fixed issues are welcome.


Answers:
author: Patrik Korovsky
body: For me, enabling the table of contents "printable" option caused this. Disabling it fixed the issue for me. You will find this setting by going into the edit for TOC.

![accessing_edit.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/212203iA4E82A7C152DC9D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "accessing_edit.png")

I didn't need to have the TOC in the final export, so that was acceptable on my part. If you need to have a TOC, you can try replicating it using macros.

I hope that helps.  
Kind regards,  
Patrik

Page hierarchy does not update when I move pages around
Asked by Raheema Kadwa:

I am trying to edit the order of my pages in Confluence. When I move pages around, and I refresh my screen - the changes I made do not show. This only happens sometimes. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue.


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Raheema Kadwa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3599309)

welcome to this wonderful community.

I've got several questions:

* Are the changes in order you made saved? Means it is not shown but it's still done.
* Where do you do the order editing and how?
* Are there any other problems with saving in your system?
* Do you get any error messages before saving?

Best wishes

comments: author: Raheema Kadwa
body: - I'm not sure if it's done. I make the change and then wait a few minutes, and then refresh my screen. Sometimes the changes load; sometimes they don't.

- I do this from the View in Page Hierarchy option from the menu in the top right.

- I also have a problem uploading attachments sometimes. Or, when I log into JIRA and do not select 'remember me' when I click on the menu it needs to me log in again.

- I do not get any error messages when I try to move pages. They just don't save.

Thank you!!


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Ok that's really interesting - what came to my mind when reading your mentioned points is timeout in system and that you got kicked out.

Maybe you wanna contact your confluence admin and talk about this issue.

Another problem may be that syncrony is not proberly - so when other people are working in the space too - collaborative editing and saving cause problems. [You may have a look here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/troubleshooting-collaborative-editing-858772087.html).

Would be great if you could keep us informed what happened!

Hope the best!

Confluence Migrating to Another Database
Asked by Sistema Ticketing:

Hi,

I want to migrate the confluence database from the embedded to a MySql database. I am following the steps from this link (method one):

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeap/migrating-to-another-database-480346927.html>

But when I have to install a new confluence in another path...Should I also change the confluence ports? or in this installation the ports must be de same default port 8090?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Sistema Ticketing](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1927273) ,

you don't actually need to install re-install Confluence, you can simply backup the actual folder. I would recommend simply removing the \<confluence-home\>/confluence.cfg.xml file, and then stopping and starting Confluence again. You can then just follow step 6 to re-import the data on the new database :

#### Step 6. Run the Confluence setup wizard and copy your data to your new database {#toc-hId--686679251}

Let me know if this works,

Is there a way to filter the Left hand navigation in confluence, and search for an occurrence of a w
Asked by ekbates-imperva:

I would like to know if you can **filter the left hand nav** in Confluence to **search for the occurence** in any of the page names, and you are left with only the links that have the word. Instead of just searching Confluence using the search bar


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@ekbates-imperva](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3598549),

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you!

You would be able to do this with the [Livesearch Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/livesearch-macro-163415902.html). It allows you dynamically search within a page and can also be attached to the sidebar using the markup mentioned in the article:
>
> #### Wiki markup example {#toc-hId--686646606}
>
> This example is useful when you want to add a macro outside the editor, for example as custom content in the sidebar, header or footer of a space.
>
> **Macro name:** `livesearch`
>
**Macro body:** None.  
>
>     {livesearch:spaceKey=DOC|size=large|placeholder=Search this space}

Note that it won't filter out the page tree as you might expect, but it will still obtain the results you require.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon

Why was my discussion removed without any notice?

Hi community managers,

I've written a short article to discuss my technical approach for my Confluence App. It was removed and marked as SPAM!? Was that a mistake or is this really considered as not-wanted content?

Asked by Jcarlos:

Good morning,

<br />

My questions are,

In a cell  
A) How can I put an image next to another?  
B) How can I resize an image without changing the cell width?

BR


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@Jcarlos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3598303) !

The two questions you shot at us are *++pretty valid!++* Let me try and *++address them one by one++*, shall we?

First, you asked, "*How can I put an image next to another?* " right?. Assuming you are using our *new editing experience*, here is how we can achieve this:
> 1. *Create a new page*
> 2. *Check the top toolbar in edit mode*
> 3. *Click the Layouts button (should be almost at the end of the toolbar)*
> 4. *Now, we can insert one image inside each layout column*

Here is how it should look in Edit Mode:

![ImageEditQuack.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69836i32D52766EEDA0391/image-dimensions/555x277?v=v2 "ImageEditQuack.jpg")

Here is how it should look in View Mode:

![ImageViewQuack.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69837i1AB5421A46AA66B6/image-dimensions/561x350?v=v2 "ImageViewQuack.jpg")

You can get a better outlook on the new editing experience by reading this post:
> * ++**[Confluence Editing Improvements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-editing-improvements-945107733.html)**++

The second question was "*How can I resize an image without changing the cell width?* ", correct? To resize the images contained within a table cell, we do need to *++resize the whole cell++*. We have a report that tackles the resizing of images inside cells, right here:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Cloud\] \[CONFCLOUD-65573\] \[Resizing Images Inside of New Tables is Unclear or Impossible\]](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65573)**++

For us to resize images inside tables, we need to resize the whole cell, like so:
> 1. *Create a new page*
> 2. *Insert a table*
> 3. *Insert images inside the table*
> 4. *Resize the cell that contains the image*
> 5. *Resize the cell until the size is the desired one*

The above would look like this, in View mode:

![ResizeViewQuack.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/69839iC11537B41D18AAA6/image-dimensions/518x320?v=v2 "ResizeViewQuack.jpg")

Currently, I advise you to *++vote and watch the report++* linked above. Votes help increase the report's visibility and watching it will keep you up to date with whatever happens there!

Let us hear from you, Carlos! Looking forward to your reply.

How can I control the versioning number of an uploaded document

I need to be able to control it.

Format of X.Y.Z

Answers:
author: ar_nx
body: Hi,

About having control over the versioning numbers, I thought you might want to have a look at this marketplace app for Confluence :

[Scroll versions](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210818/scroll-versions-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

It might help, even though it is focused on versioning pages and not necessarily (?) attachments.

comments: author: ilan_sweetch_com
body: Hi ar_nx

yes, know this. it is uncomplete \& break the law of "not to allow duplicate counting"

\& even if i ignore that, less useful if i dont have the ability to work in a natural way with

external docs. but that related to another question I had.

author: ar_nx
body: You're welcome.


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@ilan_sweetch_com](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2321684)

You might want to check out our other app, [Scroll Documents](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217608/scroll-documents-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). It might provide the functionality you need. We've been working on a lot of new features to make it easier to work with documents in a compliance-heavy environment.


author: ar_nx
body: Very interesting, thanks for sharing the tip!

I didn't know about Scroll Documents; a member of the Scroll "family" --may I say-- I was unaware of.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no way to do this in Confluence, it's a wiki, not a document storage solution, and as such, the product owners don't see it as needing any clever versioning schemes.

comments: author: ilan_sweetch_com
body: yes, saw this statement before. pity. I dont see benefit here from writing \& using it as wiki

specifically when i already have lots of R\&D docs already written in MS word

too bad, I liked the idea to have my code \& docs connected \& being able to extract \& emphasis specific parts in the docs. I would guess that there is a business prospect here

pity that they dont see it as i am

anyway thanks Nic
