Is confluence 5.9.1 encrypted?
Asked by Lois Bennett:

That is the whole question....posed by my boss.


Answers:
author: Daniel Wester
body: Ask your boss for more details. Like everyone else said it can be and might be (i.e. Passwords are hashed) but it's a very open question that nobody can properly answer.

2-factor login controls who has access

https might help but can slow things down in terms of the traffic flow over the internet but comes with other things to worry about


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It can be. Depends on how you set it up. Encrypt the disk you install it on (or at least the data disk), use https to communicate with it, and encrypt the database you use.

How to force anonymous commenters to enter an email and name
Asked by Daniel:

Right now, anonymous users can leave comments on our public wikis, but we have no way to reach out to them with answers since they aren't even presented with a field for them to enter their name and email.

How can we force them to input their name and email ?

Bonus points : Ideally, their email would only be visible to registered users or administrators.


Answers:
author: TomC
body: @Daniel Laberge There is a way to do what you want, but it would require using another application. Do you have an enterprise-grade feedback application (e.g. survey software)? If you do, the wiki page can have a link to a specific short survey that just has fields for name, email address and comments. DOWNSIDE: the public wouldn't see the comments (though that can be a good thing at times).

OR, you could 'MacGyver' (not sure if you know of this old American TV show) things a bit, and allow comments from anon users, but offer a link for folks to enter their name and email address only in the form IF they wish you to get back with them. Then when contacted back via email they can be asked what their comment is or perhaps the time of their form input can be aligned with the time of their comment if there aren't too many.

If you don't have a survey tool or want a more elegant solution, perhaps a Confluence plugin designed for form entry such as [Confiforms](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.vertuna.confluence.plugins.confiforms/server/overview)or [frevvo](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.frevvo.forms.confluence/server/overview)is a consideration. .


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to get them to register as users, and disable anonymous comments.

comments: author: Daniel
body: Sadly that's not really an option for a public facing wiki in our case.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's no way to force people to enter anything in your wiki, accounts are the only real option.

Multiple page properties
Asked by Krissie Evely:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Properties Report Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=771892380)*

How to make headings not bold?
Asked by Becky Clutter:

I have changed the font of the headings using custom CSS, but the text for H3, H4, H5, and H6 is still bold, which is the default if you're using the regular Confluence theme. This is the code that I am using:

```
.wiki-content h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {    font-family: 'Antic Slab', Rockwell, serif;    font-weight: normal;    }
```

font-weight should be working, but it's not! Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Sean Curtis
body: Your CSS is missing some specificity. I'd recommend splitting rules over multiple lines, it allows you to spot issues like this. Eg:

```
.wiki-content h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {    font-family: 'Antic Slab', Rockwell, serif;    font-weight: normal;}?/* Should be like this instead... */?.wiki-content h1,.wiki-content h2,.wiki-content h3,.wiki-content h4,.wiki-content h5,.wiki-content h6 {    font-family: 'Antic Slab', Rockwell, serif;    font-weight: normal;}

draw.io mockup elements not displayed properly in confluence page view
Asked by simonxcxc:

Hi there,

I drew a mockup with some of the pre-installed draw.io design elements. When I look at the page in confluence the rendered graphic is different from what I see in the confluence page edit mode and the draw.io editor. Obviously, I want the page view to show what I drew :wink: How do I fix that?

How to create an app link where both sides need a different display URL
Asked by Calle Dybedahl:

I'm trying to create app links between a Confluence and a JIRA. For local reasons, both of them live behind the same load balancer, which means that neither of them can talk to the other via their external URLs. The application link creation wizard lets me specify different "real" and display URLs for the *target* application, but not the *source* application. Which means that the operation fails when the target tries to redirect back to the source.

So how do I create an application link where *both* sides need different real and display URLs?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I don't think you can - Confluence and JIRA both have a single "base url" which is where the application must be available for it to run properly - you can load balance, proxy or redirect as much as you need to, but the url must be the same as where it's going to run. So your "real" and "display" urls have to be the same.

Is There a Default Table Filter?
Asked by Jeff Rhines:

On a previous project (\~6 months ago), we used Confluence as our collaboration portal. I frequently used the native table filter macro, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a table filer plugin from the marketplace. I'm now on a new project, and we are using the cloud version of Confluence (1000.85.3). However, I don't see any table filter macro available in this new environment.

Should a default table macro be included with the cloud (or any) version of Confluence.

Thanks,

JR


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Jeff, there is no native Table Filter macro in Confluence, there is only [Table Filter and Charts](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.stiltsoft.confluence.plugin.tablefilter.tablefilter/cloud/overview) add-on you can install.

How do I style @mentions?
Asked by Becky Clutter:

```

comments: author: Becky Clutter

author: Sharon Hinde

I believe this is the CSS you need:

```

comments: author: Becky Clutter
body: Thanks, Sharon! That partially worked, as it only changed the background colour. I also had to add the following, then the text colour changed, too:

```
#main-content .current-user-mention,#main-content .user-mention {    background-color: #F2F2F2;    border-color: #CCCCCC;    color: #F15D22;    }
```

But I still can't seem to figure out how to style the "@". It stays the default light grey no matter what. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to keep viewers from modifying task lists?
Asked by Bob Kennedy:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Working with Tasks](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=658736982)*

I want to use a task list to indicate to viewers which tasks have been completed. I want only editors to be able to modify the state of a task (complete or not). I am using page restrictions to try to achieve this, but viewers are able to change the state of a task.

Alternatively, can i change the bullet character to a check on an item by item basis?


Answers:
author: Jan
body: When somebody may view but not edit, the modification of tasks will not be possible. So you should restrict editing on the particular page to those who should be able to modify. All the rest will just be able to view then.

Markdown in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Jesse DeRose:

What's the easiest way to use Markdown in Confluence Cloud? (Or at the very least, a better editor than the built-in WYSIWYG editor.)

How to temporarily share documents externally in confluence
Asked by Amy Hogan:

We have customers who collaborate on our requirements documents. I would really like for them to be able to directly review, annotate, etc. in confluence, but I cant give them access to the entire project space (it has hundreds of documents that I do not want to individually rights-manage). I thought about creating a separate space for external viewing, but now my requirements documents would be stored apart from the rest of my project documentation and I cant find any way enable a search across two sites. Am I missing an obvious answer here. I am going to be forced to send it to them as a word document and proxy their red-line updates. Not happy! Please tell me I am missing something!


Answers:
author: Andrea Carl
body: Here's what I would do:

Create a new group in Confluence, i.e. "confluence-customers," Assign these users to confluence-customers, but not confluence-users (make sure they have login permissions)

Provide access for this group at the space level for that particular space.

Move all the pages that you do not want this group to view under a page. Restrict this page so that only, confluence-users, can view and edit.

When you restrict a page, the subpages inherit the restrictions.

comments: author: Rodney Hughes
body: Only to add that you don't have to create a new "confluence customers" group - each customer just has to have their own Username

Set up two pages - one with Restricted Viewing to your team (by name or group) and giving it an "obvious" page title such as "Info (team restricted)" - that is important so there is a visual identifier to the team where they are posing things.

The other page is titled also something obvious as "info (unrestricted)"

If you have two different customer groups then you can create multiple pages as  
"info (cust 1 restricted)" with only your team and that customer #1 as the View restriction  
"info (cust 2 restricted)" with only your team and that customer #2 as the View restriction

Note that View restrictions are inherited but Edit are not - but that is OK since to Edit you must be able to View
