Is there a limit on the number or size of attachments?
Asked by Julie:

Does the Atlassian Cloud Confluence subscription have any limits to the size of the data. Specifically, number of spaces, pages, attachments, or total disk space used?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: In addition to the standard storage limit of 250 GB, I'm happy to announce that we will soon be rolling out [Atlassian Cloud Premium](https://www.atlassian.com/premium?_ga=2.10206269.949514659.1559131244-1826930061.1551727916) which will provide you with unlimited storage in your Cloud instance.

You can sign up above to get onto the waiting list!

There are no limits on the number of spaces, pages in Confluence Cloud. The attachments are only limited by the overall storage limit for your instance.

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Dave,

First of all, welcome to the Community! It's great to meet you.

I understand so far that you are using Confluence, and you are having an issue with performing some tasks in the Universal Plugin Manager.

Can you just clarify with me what exactly you were doing at the time you receive the error? Is this the message you see in the UI, or are you seeing another message? Could you also screenshot the error as you see it? It can help to understand the situation surrounding the error.

Finally, I would recommend that you try [putting Confluence in Safe Mode](https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/disabling-and-enabling-apps-273875716.html), if you are at least able to access the UPM UI itself. If not, you can try the manual method from [How to manually remove malfunctioning add-ons](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-manually-remove-malfunctioning-add-ons-113705118.html).

I would also be interested to know your Confluence and UPM versions, so please provide that.

Regards,

Shannon

author: Shannon S
body: Hi Dave,

Thank you for letting me know that! When I had researched your error, a few different things were coming up in both our support ticket history and on the Jira instance, and so I needed to know a bit more about the circumstances surrounding it.

As for your case, you can confirm you recently migrated from Cloud to Server? Has the workaround fixed things for you?

body: Do you think there will be a fix forthcoming, or is the work-around inevitable?


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Dave,

It's hard to say exactly, since at this time the bug is still in its initial stages, I don't have a lot of information to go on yet. You can read about our prioritzation process by having a look at our [Atlassian Server Bug Fixing Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-server-bug-fix-policy-201294573.html).

At this time, you can click **This affects my team** and watch the ticket. This way you will receive any updates on the bug, including changes or fixes.

How to total the number under a column
Asked by Lawrence:

Hi,

In a table, I added jira query under a column 'issues' for each person. In the last row, is there a way to get the total of all the counts under the issues column? How can I do that. Attached is a screenshot of the table.

![Jira_get_total_count.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/53788iB9A702F073E6773F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Jira_get_total_count.PNG")


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3133271)

In confluence, the table does not have the opportunity to sum values from the cells.

But as it is a Jira query, you could make another jira query which sums up the 2 other queries. If you need help, i can help you with the queries. Just show me the 2 Jira queries.

Hope this helps.

comments: author: Lawrence
body: Thank you for your suggestion, Dominic. I will work on a separate query to get the total.

-Lawrence


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi [@Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3133271)

Another solution is to use [total row](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TableFilter/Managing+Look+of+the+Table+and+Filtration+Pane#ManagingLookoftheTableandFiltrationPane-OutputtingTotalsforcolumns) option of the [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview) macro.

Why does child view/edit rights not override parent non-view rights?
Asked by sunk818:

My issue is that I have a space that I use to store documents for various applications that I help support. The people that I give access to shouldn't be able to view (not relevant) the other branches. Yet, if I give someone view/edit rights to a child article, they also need view rights to the parent branch. I guess my expectation is that view/edit right on a child branch will override whatever rights are inherited. Think of it as child rebellion going against parent wishes.

I see this as a pro.

Is there a downside to this that Atlassian decided this is how inherited rights should work? Is it a matter of trying to communicate security rights in a simple manner that doesn't allow for this flexibility? I certainly understand that.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Because it is up to the space administrators to decide who can see something. Your system would enable anyone to grant access to anyone. The reason it's done this way is simple - there's no coherent permissions if you don't do it this way, you might as well just grant view to the whole world automatically.

comments: author: sunk818
body: I am the space administrator and set the permissions. I gave someone access to view/edit a child wiki article, but I had to first them view access for the parent. I just tested and that person can adjust the security rights on the parent nor child article.

Are you perhaps referring to a different situation than what I'm describing?

I feel like I have to open up access to more people on the parent level just to child wiki article open correctly, let alone be editable.

Maybe you can explain in more detail where I am misunderstanding your point?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, imagine you are the space admin, and you have a space you do not want shared with everyone.

I'm one of your page authors, I have no idea about your rules on sharing, and so I can now let my friend in another department see it, without your knowledge? That's what you've just described - a complete loss of any level of security.

Can I display Confluence calendar events in a table?
Asked by Pat Douglas:

Confiforms - How can I update a value in all records that have a specific value in another field?
Asked by Chris_Stewart:

I have a form that has group IDs (text field), called classes, that is defined by various other fields.

When I update a record, I would like all of the records matching that group ID to update a field called "seats" with the value of the modified record.

I've tried a number of variations using IFTTT(Create/Update Confiforms Entries) without any luck. Any advice is welcome.

Can you please provide more information? If we're going to answer this question, or at least try to, we need more context.

For example:

* About what's taking the Submit-A-Request input and sending it off to who knows where. It sounds as maybe this was created by someone who's no longer around, at your company?

And really, it's almost impossible to provide too much information when you're seeking an answer from the community. Don't just answer the three examples I gave, above. :-)

How do I create a place-holder to an undeveloped page in the new page editor?
Asked by Bob Sovers:

I used to just enclose a Page title in square brackets \[ and \], and Confulence would either create a link if the page already existed, or a brown place-holder to remind me to create the new page.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Bob,

Thank you for contacting us about this! I believe you're referring to [Undefined Page Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/undefined-page-links-139580.html). Can you confirm?

I've tested it myself and it does seem that the functionality is missing from the new page editor in Confluence Cloud. Further investigation confirmed that we have an open bug ticket for this:

* [CONFCLOUD-65634](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65634) *Cannot create "undefined page link" in Fabric Editor*

Essentially, you can just type the name of the page in the search box, and hit enter. It inserts a link into the page with that title. However, when clicking on it, it doesn't take you anywhere you can create it. Furthermore, the link isn't added to the list of Undefined pages in the Space Settings.

I'm including this thread on the bug ticket, but please also click **This affects my team** so we can log the number of affected customers. This will also cause you to watch the thread so you can be updated of any progress.

Thank you again for reporting this!

Confluence PDF menu bar missing
Asked by Tahramy Dyson:

The menu bar for Adobe PDF is missing from viewing PDF files through confluence.

Using Confluence Cloud, Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, Chrome on Windows.


Answers:
author: Tahramy Dyson
body: Hi Shannon,

We are using the built-in Confluence add on. The PDF is able to preview inside of a page. The issue arises when the attached PDF (linked to the page the document is being previewed) a link is clicked on and opens in the browser, the bar at the top of the page, which normally provides options to download and other features, is missing.

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Tahramy,

If your preview does not look like the preview in the documentation that I have linked, please feel free to send me a screenshot of what you are seeing.

Thank you!

Regards,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Tahramy,

Happy to assist with this!

Can you let me know what add-on or macro you're using to view your PDF files in Confluence? By default, Confluence previews PDF files within its own file viewer and does not default to Adobe Reader.

An example of what that preview should look like is available below:

* [Display Files and Images](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/display-files-and-images-724765104.html)

If your preview does not look like the preview in the above documentation, please feel free to send me a screenshot of what you are seeing.

The PDF will automatically preview in Confluence if you don't download the file. If you don't want the PDF to preview within Confluence, you can have the **Confluence Previews** add-on disabled, but then this will stop previews for all files, for all users.

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Regards,

Shannon

uncheck autowatch pages in Confluence ?
Asked by sn:

Users of Confluence server 5.10. we will be upgrading in next few weeks. I an aware of manually unchecking the profile settings to stop receiving auto emails from Confluence but my question is as Admins

1. when we create a new user is there a way to disable all defaults and user can later chose to select certain options manually.
2. Can we do a bulk de-select of existing users email notification ( not the recommended but others like autowatch)
3. As Admin , I have created numerous spaces and now I ended up watching them and receiving the auto-emails. some of them I don't even remember that I created. I stop notifications manually but as Admins we don't need to auto watch these spaces and pages and receive updates. Is this possible ? If so, could you let me know how.
4. Can I bulk unwatch these pages/spaces?

thank you !

Anchor link opens new tab
Asked by Jonathan Groff:

We have a page full of links and anchors. The anchors and links are all on the same page, no links to anchors on a different page. Recently, the links open an entirely new tab when clicked instead of jumping down the page to the anchor. This was working fine. Has anyone experienced this oddity?


Answers:
author: Darin Hafer
body: I also have this problem. I'm on Confluence Server 6.8.2.

I haven't noticed the behavior change on existing pages, nor have I checked.

However, on a brand new page, I have a link on the page that is an anchor:

![Screen Shot 2020-07-21 at 4.30.01 PM.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103863iCE31BB5910F21933/image-dimensions/560x224?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-07-21 at 4.30.01 PM.jpg")

And it **always** opens the anchor in a new tab.

BTW, opening in a tab vs opening a new window is a browser setting. But in this case, it should still stay on the page and scroll to the anchor, without opening a new tab or window.

Export to PDF failing in Confluence Server after upgrade from 6.4.0 to 6.13.4
Asked by Roger Lynn:

All, My first question on the forum, so forgive me if this is misdirected.  
I have raised a Confluence call on this, but no response as yet, so thought I'd ask the community.

Out internet-facing documentation in Confluence, is being upgraded to the latest Enterprise Release 6.13.4 (from 6.4.0).  
We have upgraded a test instance first, and all looks fine, other than PDF export. When this is tried, even on a single small page, it hangs for several minutes, and usually fails with an 'Oops System Error' page (although very rarely it works and creates the PDF). This works correctly on 6.4.0 immediately before the upgrade.  
Nothing is written to the Atlassian log until 60 seconds later, when the following entry appears:

```
[confluence.util.profiling.DefaultActivityMonitor] close Exceeded the threshold of 60000 ms: ActivitySnapshot{startTime=1557227386707, threadId=295, threadName='http-nio-8090-exec-9', userId='admin', type='web-request', summary='/spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=68357329'}
```

At some later point the following message (sometimes) appears:

```

javax.servlet.jsp.jspException: java.lang.RuntimeException: We couldn't complete your export. There are too many concurrent exports running on this node. <a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/docs-613/PDF+export+in+Confluence+Data+Center">Learn more</a>
```

<br />

I presume that this later error occurs if further exports are done, to exceed 'confluence.pdfexport.permits.size'. But the information in that link refers only to Datacenter.

I have checked out known issues and ruled them out for a variety of reasons (e.g. CONFSERVER-44995, we have no proxy).

Any suggestions gratefully received.

How to display the Space key in the Cloud Confluence Directory
Asked by Terri Booker:

Please Assist...

Thanks, Terri


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello Terri!

You could use our REST API to achieve something really close to what you need.
>
> ```
> https://your.instance.url/rest/api/space?limit=100
> ```

You will be able to information such as Space key, Space Name and Space Type. If you want to have no limitations on how many spaces you need to show, just remove the ?limit=100 part.

Using the limit=100 will keep the instance from showing more than 100 results, or any other value that you insert there. This parameter only works with positive numbers. There is a lot more that you could do with REST API. Here are our docs on this API:

**[Confluence Cloud Developer - REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/)**

Let us know from you Terri. Looking forward to your reply!

comments: author: Terri Booker

Thanks so much - I was able to get the data and covert into a CSV

I was able to get all 100+ Spaces w/Key - I just changed the limit to Limit 200

User became unsearchable until after indexing / cache flush - why?
Asked by Jonathan Smith:

Hi everyone,

I come back from vacation and a user tells me no one can mention him or search for him in our Confluence server instance.

I have since flushed the cache and indexed the environment, he then appeared.

I undid the Thanos snap.

Anyone know why the user would be unsearchable in the first place? When troubleshooting, I **was** able to manually get to his administration profile page.

Thanks,

Jonathan


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there Jonathan!

This is likely connected to problems with your index. If your index breaks, there is a chance that everything is unavailable for search or only parts of it are "out of order". We have an article about possible causes for a broken index:

**[Searching and Indexing Troubleshooting](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/searching-and-indexing-troubleshooting-180847237.html)**

There is also another document on this specific problem you were facing. Here it is:

**[Unable to @ mention certain users in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-mention-certain-users-in-confluence-779165995.html)**

The starting point for fixing these types of issues is to re-index or re-index from scratch. You accomplished just that and was able to fix the issue, correct?

Here is how to rebuild the index from scratch:

**[How to Rebuild the Content Indexes From Scratch on Confluence Server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html)**

And here we have how to rebuild from the UI:
