How to track inline comments
Asked by Kevin Kell:

Is there currently a way with macros or a custom programming solution to list out all inline comments on a page, show their status (resolved/not resolved) and link to each one? It's not clear from the macros list that this is possible.


Answers:
author: Boris Berenberg
body: I believe that this would be addressed by: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-36601>


author: Stephen Deutsch
body: A Cloud addon was recently released that would help with this:

[See All Unresolved Comments](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/see-all-unresolved-comments/cloud/overview)

Not only do you get a counter at the top to see how many unresolved inline comments are in a page, but you can also click to jump directly to the first comment. You can even search (run a report) to see all unresolved comments filtered by space and/or commenting user. For longer pages, there's also an overview report that shows just the headings and the commented text, so you can get a quick overview of what's on any particular page.

comments: author: kk
body: Stephen, what was the name of the product?


author: Heather W
body: This is in the Cloud version. When you are viewing a page with inline comments, there are two icons related to these comments, one of which includes the count. This one refreshes the page before displaying the unresolved comments so not as quick to view them as the other icon (no count). Both display the unresolved comments and you can select the up/down arrows to navigate between inline comments.

It would be nice to be able to have inline comments that have a person tagged show up in a Task Report or the person's tasks.


author: Irina_Bel_Stiltsoft_
body: Hi [@Kevin Kell1](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/665997) ,

[Talk - Advanced Inline Comments for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/978531/talk-advanced-inline-comments?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview) app has a feature called Talk Report.

It helps to see all inline comments made on a specific page and/or space and see in it the following data:

![Talk report.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/196543iDFD89B156A97CEFE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Talk report.png")

You can check the status for the comment and then, by pressing the Page column, you find yourself right on this comment.

Display user profile(s) on space home page
Asked by Rahul Aich [Nagra]:

Hi

On our confluence 5.5 we want to show the profiles of some of the users such as the active users, contributors etc.

Is there a plugin which allows a user to add some profiles and display on a page.

Lazymembers patch to app_queue
Asked by Rodrigo:

Hi,

I have a doubt regarding lazymembers option, since the page says:

"The option to enable lazy members in FreePBX requires the use of the FreePBX Commercial VQ Plus module which enhances FreePBX queues (beyond just this functionality) and FreePBX Distro with Asterisk 11.11 or higher, which already has this patch applied."

This means that the patch is already applied in Asterisk 11.11 or higher but functionality still not enabled since you need Commercial VQ Plus module?

How do I use version control for items added to Confluence?
Asked by Derek Small:


Answers:
author: Derek Small
body: If I create a Product requirements page with individual requirements defined on that page, will these be version controlled from a point of sign off or from a point that I define? Or would I need to attach documents that would themselves be subject to version control as defined by Milo? I am trying to work out how to use Jira and Confluence in combination for requirements documentation and workflow (through review and sign off by business reps) but need versioning so that if our supplier cannot deliver the functionality to exactly met the requirement, any changes to the original requirments are taken forward as a version 2, 3, etc. with the original, signed off version retained.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, it's versioned from the point of creation. Every time you edit a page, you get a new version. Attachments are versioned separately from the page, again, from the point of creation in Confluence.This is not so much "version control" as just plain versioning - every change has been tracked.I think what you're asking for is a bit more complex than this. I suspect you're looking for some form of authorisation and sign off stuff - I'd take a look at Comala Workflows and Scroll Versions - different approaches, but both really good at looking after publication type stuff.


author: Milo Test
body: Versioning is automatic in that when a document of the same name is attached to a space, the new "version" becomes the current version. Using the Attachments macro, the previous versions can be accessed and/or deleted.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: and all changes to a page are logged and versioned too.


author: Steven Henein
body: If you use the "Change History" macro on a page, you can see and view previous versions of the document. very cool!!

is there a hidden group for all logged in users for use with seraph?
Asked by Peter Kahn:

Hi all

Do you know if the seraph system can access an all-logged-in-users group for setting seraph roles?

We have some content which is too large to store in confluence and which we wish to make available only to confluence users. At present, we use a specific use the **ConfluenceRoleMapper** and the **seraph paths** to achieve this. We want to extend this to all users and have 4 groups with **can-use** global rights. I either have to place all users in one new group or find a special existing role in the system to allow for this.

Does anyone know if there's an all-logged users group I can use?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, that's a dynamic request and not a "group". A group is a list of users grouped together, not a list of currently active users.

The applications using Seraph are also flexible - they allow you do explicitly nominate groups as "can log in", so you actually need to ask the application, not just Seraph.

(Also, "currently logged in" is not that useful a question. If I log in, do some work and then wander off for the night, at what time am I not logged in? I haven't logged out, my session may well timeout after a while of inactivity, but in reality, I stopped using it an hour ago. I've also got the "remember me" ticked, so I don't need to log in again, just pick up where I left off the next morning)

comments: author: Peter Kahn
body: So, I'll need to pull everyone into a group to make this work. Since we are going to push out to LDAP probably via crowd, I can use group nesting and move away from confluence internal groups. That'll give me all-authenticated-users group.

I am doing POC for Collaboration tools and collaboration under consideration are SharePoint and Collaboration?any differences in particular ??
Asked by Aman singh:


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: SharePoint is a strong file repository tool with weak collaboration ability.  
Confluence is a strong collaboration tool with medium-good file-repository ability.

Confluence wiki is just as easy as the SharePoint wiki, but it is much more powerful and pretty.

Office integration is slightly better in SharePoint.

One last note, there is a SharePoint connector that allows you to interweave the SharePoint file structure and the Confluence collaboration and wiki. BUT, it is only available for onprem instances of SharePoint, NOT currently available for SharePoint Online.

While Microsoft calls SharePoint a collaboration tool, collaboration abilities are being \*[quietly](http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-users-not-happy-over-quiet-sharepoint-online-feature-cuts/)\* removed from SharePoint Online.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: To the last sentence, I'd add "collaberation abilities are being \*noisily\* added to Confluence"


author: TomC
body: @Milo Grika makes some great points.

In addition, @Nic Brough \[Adaptavist\] answered a similar question here: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/19694123>.

Finally, check out Martin Siebert's blog post (though somewhat dated and arguably biased towards Confluence, the included comparison table may be helpful): <https://blog.seibert-media.net/blog/2011/08/26/sharepoint-versus-confluence-criteria-requirements/>


author: lavitz slambert
body: I think you should compare confluence to microsoft yammer instead of sharepoint:

<https://products.office.com/en/yammer>

[](https://products.office.com/en/yammer)Share point is more a web site with a file repository so people can have **access to information**, yammer is more used for collaboration purposes like confluence does.

Only view permission for whole space and add edit rights for specific page
Asked by David Choi:

Hello,

I have a space where several groups are only able to view and edit the whole space. For only one group I only assigned in the space permission, the view and comment permission.

For the space the one group, which only have view and comment permission, should have edit right granted for a specified page and its child pages.

I thought I can do with this solution, to add the edit restriction to the parent page. So that group will be able to edit and create pages. But it did not work

Anyone know the reasons or a solution?


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: You likely have to go the other way:

1. Grant edit permission to the group for the entire space.
2. Lock down all the other parent pages so that group can't edit them.

comments: author: David Choi
body: Thank you for your answer!With this way, the group will be able to create new pages elsewhere.


author: Milo Test
body: Sadly true. Supposedly there is a way to use the free ServiceRocket Page Approval plug-in to restrict page creation; I haven't used it myself, so I can't comment.I also encourage you to vote for this feature request to separate Edit and Create privileges: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-4087>


author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: Another problem with this approach is that edit restrictions (unlike view restrictions) on pages are not inherited, but only apply to that one page. So you really need to apply edit restrictions to every single page individually, and that won't keep people from creating new pages.


author: Milo Test
body: Pretty sure they are inherited by children of the parent page, but that still does not prohibit creating new pages.


author: Jonathan Simonoff
body: Milo, that would be what you'd expect, but it isn't the case. See the information on <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Restrictions> .


author: Milo Test
body: I know that documentation page explicitly says a user or group with edit restrictions on a parent page can "see" the child pages, but I tried it, and they can also edit the child pages.

Thank you!

Answers:
author: Hessom Arta [Adaptavist]
body: Hi Simona,

Prior to Community Forums 2.1.6, this add-on was licensed via our proprietary Plugin Licensing Manager. We took the decision to retire this earlier in the year and [moved all of our licensing to the Atlassian Marketplace](http://www.adaptavist.com/w/all-adaptavist-add-ons-now-licensed-via-the-atlassian-marketplace/).

For Community Forums 1.0.1 you'll need a PLM license which we can provide you. If you email me directly at [harta@adaptavist.com](mailto:harta@adaptavist.com) I can help sort this out for you.

From Confluence 5.3 onwards it's advised to use Atlassians Universal Plugin Manager for licensing Community Forums with Community Forums 2.1.6 or higher.

Custom Macro for task report with current user and parameter space

Hosted solution spaces are not listed for all users including admin account. Some user cant see the full list while others can.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: For a space to appear on the list, the current user must have the right to see the space. (Note that admins don't get that automatically, they still need to be added to the permissions for a space). So start by checking the permissions on a space that is missing.

There are plugins that add similar features. The one I'm most familiar with is Theme Press, which is great, but is a major change to the way Confluence works (and pretty expensive).

Unable to import space or site (Forbidden 403 error in POST)
Asked by Thiago Brito:

We are migrating our Confluence On Site Server v5.6.4 to Confluence On Cloud.  
First I tried to do each step showed in the link <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ConfCloud/Migrate+from+Confluence+Server+to+Cloud> but without success. The page freezes for a while and without answer.

Doing some analysis I can see that it's made a POST that is forbidden and nothing happens. As an attachament we have one screenshot with the error.

I also tried to Export/Import only a single space and the same thing happens.

I have all the access necessary in order to import/export the space or site (or else I can't see this options) and I really don't known what else to do.

Answers:
author: lavitz slambert
body: Hey Thiago,

Usually for that kind of problem you should raise a support ticket at <https://support.atlassian.com> as the application logs (and a more detailed error) are hosted on the atlassian cloud side.

However before doing that can you upgrade your confluence **(on a staging environment**) to version 5.7 or latest and then generating the export again?

![information](/html/@4DF2F60CA30FBCA0CD7B960B5D0F871B/images/emoticons/information.png "information") **Always backup your instance before upgrading**

Atlassian made a internal migration on the location where the attachments are (moved from attachments table to content) and as far as I'm aware that does break the import process as your version uses the previous table setup.

If after that the issue persists then raise the ticket at the above atlassian site I've mentioned so a cloud engineer will be able to assist you on narrowing down why the import is failing
