How to edit a Confluence page using HTML editor?
Asked by Richard Coffre:

Hi all,

I am currently using the version 7.19 and I do not find the option to edit a page using the HTML editor.

It was very useful when Confluence did not understand or retrieve correctly some attributes.

Has this option been deleted?

Best regards,  
Richard

You can use the old Atlassian plugin [Confluence Source Editor](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview) for Server version, but it also works for Data Center versions 7.11.1 through 8.5.

I know that we will upgrade very soon so I will check after.

And check plugin permissions on /admin/sourceeditor/viewconfiguration.action is @Allow all -\> Yes?

author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Richard Coffre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3222599) ,

Do you mean the 3-rd party plugin (like Inline Editor) or just editing Storage Format of the page in xHTML?

The behavior should be the same as in 5.X + versions.

comments: author: Richard Coffre
body: No 3rd party plugin but the option to do this by clicking on "\<\>" on the top right of the page.

Is it possible to use smart values to access Watchers
Asked by Johnson Ip:

Hi,

I had been trying to use automation to pull back a list of watchers in Confluence but it looks like there is no smart value to access it unlike Jira's {{issue.watchers}}. I went through the Confluence smart value documentation and it is silent about watchers. Is there an undocumented smart value for watchers or is that an enhancement in the backlog?

If it is a future enhancement, it would be good if you can provide the link to the ticket so that I can up vote it.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: While it does exist for Jira.

* {{issue.watchers.displayName}} - Returns the watcher's display name.

* {{issue.watchers.emailAddress}} - Returns the watcher's email address.

According to the docs there is no equivalent in Confluence.

How to get page body from search REST API
Asked by Ran Bi:

I am trying to search a CQL query and fetch all bodies of pages in search result using REST API with following code:

```
requests.get(f'{base_url}/wiki/rest/api/search', 
  auth=..., 
  params={
    'cql': cql,
    "expand": "body.view"
  },
  headers={
    "Accept": "application/json",
  })
```

However, body in result pages are empty strings.

Did I miss anything?


Answers:
author: Andrii Maliuta
body: Hello [@Ran Bi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5477576) ,

As search results are displayed as '**content** ' elements, you should add it for **expand** parameter. E.g.:

```
"expand": "content.body.view"
```

Confluence REST API sort by relevance
Asked by Dan Bunch:

Hello all,

I'm working with Confluence REST API for the first time, and I'm trying to get my Python script to sort Pages within my space key by relevance. It works great for ordering by last modified desc, but I need the relevance search. Is that available?

params = {  
'cql': f"text \~ \\"{query}\*\\"",  
'expand': "body.storage",  
'limit': 3

'orderby': "lastModified desc"  
}

I'm doing this using Zapier (Code by Zapier Python block). The query is the summary of the ticket submitted from earlier in the flow.

Thank you!

body: Hi [@Khazi Naseeruddin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5477350)

<br />

If you want to store a full site backup of your Confluence Cloud instance locally (offline, in your servers, or similar storage), you can create site backups:

* [Create a site backup](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-site-backup/)

That's Atlassian's recommended way of taking occasional offline backups in addition to their automated daily backups using Automated Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). You can read more about that in their [How Atlassian Manages Customer Data](https://www.atlassian.com/trust/security/data-management) article.

Storing the backup of your site in Confluence itself is contrary to what a backup should be.

Auto create and add labels based on template
Asked by David Gyarmati:

Hi All,  

Is it possible to set up an automation to automatically create and add labels to a confluence page when a specific template used?  

We have a template where on a column feature is indicated, next to it in same row creator would indicate what feature the page will relate to.  

This might be an existing label but when publisher is working on a new feature label may not exist yet.  

Is it possible to pick up whatever feature is entered in template and auto-label page with it?  

Thanks in advance for help


Answers:
author: Prakash Murugesan
body: [@David Gyarmati](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5024035) Yes, it is possible to set up an automation in Confluence to automatically create and add labels to a page based on a specific template.

Start by creating a blueprint template in Confluence that includes the necessary fields for indicating the feature related to the page. You can use the "Create from Template" macro to insert this template into new page also Within your template, include a field for indicating the feature related to the page. You can use Confluence metadata or page properties to capture this information.

Navigate to Confluence's automation settings and create a rule that triggers when a page is created using the specific template. Configure the rule to extract the feature information from the page and add it as a label.n the automation rule, specify the field in your template that contains the feature information. Then, map this field to the label field to automatically add it as a label to the page. Test the automation rule to ensure that it works as expected. Make any necessary adjustments or refinements to the rule to improve its accuracy and effectiveness

body: Thanks for quick reply, I'm checking this out today


author: Prakash Murugesan
body: Sure .


author: David Gyarmati
body: Hi and sorry for late reply, can I do this from existing template and can necessary field for indicating the feature be a variable on template or shall I use a different field?  

Regarding how to configure the rule to extract the feature information from the page and add it as a label \< sorry this step is not clear also how to achive.  

Another question is when using automation can't see option to trigger when a page is created using the specific template.

How to test my article review timer automation?
Asked by Brady Buttrey:

I am trying to test my article review timer, which sends an email that an article needs to be reviewed for relevancy and accuracy once a year. To test it, I am changing it from 1 year to 1day, but nothing is happening, even though the articles were created more than 1 day ago. I have attached a screenshot of my automation, am i doing something wrong or missing something?

author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Your original approach wasn't bad, you just needed to adjust the IF statement so that it found pages to act on. The rule was grabbing pages untouched within a day, then asking it to find new things less than a day old.

The second one works as it's just using the branch condition in place of the if then. Both are valid ways.
