As [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) mentioned already, the metrics that are calculated or provided by the Better Content Archiving app is explained [in the documentation](http://www.midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/documentation/#key-concepts). Some metrics, like "Pages in fresh space" or "Pages in archive space" are self-explanatory: it's the number of pages that are not archived and the number of pages that have been archived.

To calculate the overall content quality, the app calculates the average of the "Up-to-date pages %" and the "Viewed pages %".

If you have further questions feel free to get in [touch with our support!](https://midori.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)

In Comala ShareIt plugin on Confluence, can we change the name of the option "share this page"
Asked by fayaz jira:

After installing the Comala ShareIt plugin on Confluence, there's an option called "Share this page" in the top right drop down menu. Can we change the name of the option ("share this page" to "some other name"). Please check the image below for reference.![Inkedconfluence_LI.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48594i69AC91C45BFB6C3C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Inkedconfluence_LI.jpg")

In addition to providing some feedback for our product team, I'd like to offer you a workaround for the time being.

If you navigate to Confluence Administration \> Stylesheet \> Edit, you can add the following bit of code to change the text. Note that this will only change the text for the link and nothing else:

```
a#share-it-page-dialog span {
display: none;
}
a#share-it-page-dialog:after {
content: 'whatever it is you want to add';
}
```

Just update that next to last line to whatever you might want.


author: Mike Rink
body: Hi [@fayaz jira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2583814) , "Share this Page" is hard-coded into the app, so there is no way to change it.   

If you let me know what your use case is, I can take your feedback to our product team so they can log it.

Links in confluence keep breaking
Asked by binish_sheikh:

Hi,

When I create links to a different page (in the same space), the links would work fine, but I would come back to the page after a while (perhaps weeks or months) to see that the links don't work - they still appear as working links, but clicking on them does nothing.

On checking the link details, I've noticed that the page name/header that I've linked to goes missing. The only solution would be to put in the page name again.

Also, another issue is that sometimes the link names get replaced by a strange set of numbers - not entirely sure why that is happening.

Hope you can you fix these issues.

Thanks!

Update: I've discovered that the links are somehow getting changed to the current page name where they exist (that's not what I had put there). Clicking on them refreshes the same page.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: If you're adding links as 'Web links' in the dialog, Confluence treats it as an *absolute* link and won't update those links for any reason. If you use **Search** , **Recently viewed** , or just paste in the URL of another page in your Confluence site, Confluence will add it as a relative link and will update the link when you rename the linked page.

comments: author: binish_sheikh
body: Thanks for getting back. I usually use the **Advanced** option to add links. I want to be able to create relative links (so if I change the page name, it should automatically get updated), without having to go back again and again to make sure they're missing (the linked page name somehow gets deleted) even though I haven't made any changes to the link, or changed the page name.

This mostly happens when I export a copy of the space, and import it again as a different space with a new space key.

body: *I've discovered that the links are somehow getting changed to the current page name where they exist (that's not what I had put there). Clicking on them refreshes the same page.*

I've just had a similar issue where the links were to the attachments of the page. All links got changed to the page name. No explanation.

Not a PIBCAC error as the user is IT and this was between edit v89 and v90.

comments: author: Emil S
body: Hey David,

you got an solution to that? We are currently facing the same issue.


author: David
body: Sorry for the late reply, only saw this now.

IIRC, I exported the space from instance 1, imported the space into instance 2, and deleted it on instance1. Exported from instance 2 and imported it back into instance1.

I've not had a problem since.

Searching for specific labels on Questions (problem with wildcards)
Asked by Shawn Connelly:

Hello all,  

I discovered a possible problem with Questions searching...  

**Requirement:** I have been asked to find a way to list out all Confluence Questions that include any variation of a specific label (or topic). Example: search for "security" but also find labels/topics like "data-security", "coe-security", "security-fix", etc.   

When using *Questions \> Topics* and searching from there... you will see all variations of the search topic (if they exist). The problem is that it's not a consolidated list; each topic is a separate list.  

![Questions Labels Search1.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48579iC7310A14C3456294/image-dimensions/457x195?v=v2 "Questions Labels Search1.jpg")  

**The Problem**   
Searching from *Advanced Search* \> *Custom (Questions)* , using Search: *labelText:security* (or with \* wildcard on either side, or any variation of wildcard \*) results in ONLY specific "security" labels. In other words, the resulting list does not show compound labels/any label with a hyphen.   

**Wild Cards Sort of Work?**   
Further testing reveals the following behavior:

* *labelText:security\**will find any topic with security to the left of the entire topic name. Example: securitytest is found.
* *labelText:\*security*will only list the specific topic, "security".

There doesn't seem to be a way to find topics hyphenated topics that include "security". :(  

<br />

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?  

Thank you


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there! Thanks for reaching out to Community.

When we use wildcards like this:

```
abelText:*security
```

The search will look into results that contains any kind of text before the word security. Having a wildcard before a word and no wildcard after the word will prompt the search to look into results that ends with security and may or may not have any type of text before it.

For example, if you had a label like top-security the search above should be able to find it.

If we use the wildcards like this:

```
abelText:*security*
```

The search should look into results that have security in any part of the string. Meaning that the hyphenated should come up.

I tried to replicate it on a local instance and was unable to. Looking forward to your reply Shawn!

How do team members edit documents in Confluence with Office 365 and Windows 10?
Asked by Ken Spengler:

I manage a document repository page in Confluence. Everything posted there are MS Office docs (Word, Excel and PowerPoint mainly). I would like to maintain one copy of certain documents on this page that other project members can edit too. The Confluence help page on document sharing has a matrix for OS, MS Office and browser versions, but it does not include Office 365 and Windows 10, which is the environment we are using.

I am able to edit documents I posted by opening the document details with the "\>" arrow then clicking the "View" button. When the document opens in the Confluence page viewer I get an "Edit Document" link at the top of the screen that opens the document in the native Office 360 application. I can then edit and save the document and the different versions I have saved over time are shown in the document details. However other project members don't get the "Edit Document" link when they view the documents. The document page itself is setup for anyone to edit but that does not appear to have anything to do with editing the documents.

The help page does mention a way to email editing permission to specific people which I have not tried, but I would prefer for people to just be able to open and edit documents at will.


Answers:
author: Ken Spengler
body: We discovered that the project members were not logging into Confluence in the first place, so they could see but not edit documents. When logged in editing is easy with both IE and Chrome, but Firefox tells you to install a plug-in that fails.

How are you using refined theme for confluence?
Asked by Brant Schroeder:

Just wondering how you are using refined theme for Confluence? Do you have a public space? What does is house? How have you changed up the template? What additional information are you providing to the end user?


Answers:
author: Thomas Bowskill
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) I used RefinedTheme on our Confluence server instance and it acts as our company Intranet. Went live with it a couple of months ago, and things have been really positive so far.

We don't have a public space -- we require all people to log in (AD synced and SSO). As well as the space permission being set for our AD groups, we also benefit from the RT functionality where we can restrict certain links / menu items to specific groups -- it's nice that the top menu bar can effectively be customised so that people don't see needless options for them (of course there is an admin overhead to that).

We took one of the templates and worked off it as a basis. I personally found that minimizing everything in terms of menus (so you basically have 3-4 buttons) made the site look slicker -- took people a little getting used to, but it's good. My main goal with RT is to avoid too much customisation, as we don't have an army of developers, nor do we have the time, to maintain something we build ourselves. Our non-IT head of marketing was able to easily get to grips with the options for display, so that's a positive. I don't think RT offers a *vast* range of different looks, but I personally have found it exceptional value for money and a much, much better look for our Confluence with the lightest possible of touch from IT. The only CSS I employed was headers to follow our in-house style (would have been nice to have that in the UI, as I feel headers are part of a 'Theme'), and one bit of CSS to hide the space where the site switcher / icon lives (have raised that to their dev team as a future fix).

With each passing day we are tweaking how we present our Intranet -- and the RT plugin is great for this. I actually had a call with some of the team at RefinedTheme a month or so ago, and they were very helpful in reviewing how I had done things, and suggesting improvements for how to make it better -- that was really useful. I also installed the [Refined Toolkit plugin](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211136/refined-toolkit-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) they provide for free, which has some nice UI enhancements when compared to the out-of-the-box Atlassian macros (e.g. the UI Expand is a lot nicer than Expand, and UI Tabs is a really effective way for us to display our Employee directory alphabetised listing (which is done with Linchpin User Profiles).

For us, it has made the firm aware of Confluence -- people are collaborating on pages over emailing (not as often as I'd like, but I can see we are going in the right direction), and not being reliant on someone from IT to be free to sort it out for them.

In short I'm a huge fan and have found that [@Support RefinedWiki](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/226669) is very responsive and helpful
Can I create multiple Meeting notes sub-sections under a Meeting Notes tab?

I think this feature request might be referring to what you need:

* [CONFSERVER-29499](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-29499) *Enforce all blueprints to be placed under their index page / support multiple index pages per space*

Can you have a look at that and read through the requirement, and let me know if it sounds like it? It refers to the fact that now when you create a meeting notes page it always goes under the main parent page. They want to have the option to create multiple index pages so you can have different meeting notes under these index pages.

Let me know what you think.

Unable to load the Meeting Notes Blueprint in Confluence

When you speak to IT, you can share this article with them:

This outlines the domains and IP ranges they will need to make sure are accessible via your work network. It should help them but if they have any questions, please let me know.

After migration, users from the source Confluence can no longer see Jira events or Add them in TC
Asked by Shirley He:

Hello all,

After migrating a Jira/Confluence instance into ours, the users from the source instances can no longer properly add Jira Events, nor can they see Jira events on the calendar. When they try to add the Jira Event, the option to select the project, use JQL, etc. is gone.

Meanwhile, I am having no trouble seeing these options, nor does a user who existed only in the target instance from the start. After some investigation, I found that one user from the source instance is able to create Jira events, but he did have an account already existing in the target instance, unlike the users who are currently having problems. He also is an admin in confluence, but I am unsure if that's the reason he can create these events.

I don't see any permissions or restrictions set on these calendars, unless I missed something? Any advice?

Broken Links in Label List macro
Asked by Gavin Ireland:

I'm getting a weird behaviour across my spaces, whereby the "Label List" macro seems to work, i.e. it correctly lists the labels in the space, alphabetically; However, when you click on any of the links, it goes to a page not found page.

Even more strange, whilst in the Macro if I generate a preview, the link work as expected - then stop working when I publish the page?

Anyone else seen this behaviour?

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a workaround?
