Automatically add users to page Restrictions
Asked by Patrick Brauner:

If I restrict a page as described here --\> <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>only the administrator is automatically added. Is it possible to add more users automatically or to add a group?

Answers:
author: JimmyVanAU
body: Hi Patrick,

The best thing to do is to take a step back and look at what we're trying to achieve, and if this can be achieved any other way.

It sounds like you're trying to restrict multiple pages, including new pages from automatically being seen by everyone.

Can this be achieved with space permissions (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html>)? This automatically restricts all pages created in this space such that they're all subject to the same view/edit restrictions.

If this is not possible, can you add one parent page, and then create all new content under this page? Page permissions are inherited, so if you have one parent page with the correct permissions, this will flow down to the children pages. This may be more appropriate if you only want to restrict some content in the space.

If you provide some more detail, we might be able to come up with other solutions too :)

body: Hiii [@Patrick Brauner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/73629)

yes. If you write ifttt rules on for example modifying the page you can add the groups/users with your desired restriction

Can you create an interactive graph in a Confluence page?
Asked by Solene Pons:

I am using Confluence to create my dev and business help center.   
I would like to create a tool that allows my users to have a projection of the amount of money they will earn thanks to my service.

For that, I need them to input 2 data. Based on them, the graph will update (linear graph)

Is that possible to build such a graph in Confluence?

here is the formula: XX\*VTP fixed\*time

XX needs to be completed by the users.

Is there a way to restrict who can assign specific labels?
Asked by Penn Wilbert:

I want to allow general label creation, however I'd like to restrict specific labels to only be assigned by specific users or groups.

An example would be collecting lists of restaurants. The restaurants would have the labels to describe them, however the only labels that can be applied by the group "Raters" or people in charge of the ratings can assign "label_5_stars", "label_4_stars", or "label_3_stars" to ensure the people building the lists don't specify a rating when they aren't the ones doing the rating.


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Penn Wilbert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/175600)

This isn't possible. You can either allow it for everybody or for nobody.

I found a feature for confluence server and cloud for this purpose:

* [CONFSERVER-3936](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-3936)
* [CONFCLOUD-3936](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-3936)

You can watch it and vote for it. But as you see, the request is from 2005...

Hope this helped.

comments: author: Penn Wilbert
body: Thanks [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600) I've copied my example to the request as well ask submitted my vote and ask. I guess push comes to shove I could try to write a plugin for it, better to make sure the wheel doesn't exist before I invent it!

How can I create a "now" marker in the new roadmap template?
Asked by Jennifer McVicker:

I love the new roadmap template, but I'd really like to see a marker line that shows where today is, without having to manually go in every day and move it forward. Is this possible? All I can see is the ability to change the label on the marker, but I'd like to be able to create a dynamic marker to show the current date.

Space disappeared
Asked by miguel_molina:

Hi I have a problem,

a confluence space has disappeared or been deleted, can I recover it?

And how do i get it back?

Thanks for attentions


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@miguel_molina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3806460)

This could have two reasons.

1. You aren't allowed to see the space anymore. So someone has removed your permission to view it.
2. The space was really deleted.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to restore a deleted space. For that, we recommend asking your Confluence Administrator to restore the most recent site backup so that you can retrieve the deleted space from there.

Regards, Dominic

comments: author: miguel_molina
body: Hi [@Dominic Lagger](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/601600)

Thanks for the answer!

I believe it was deleted, to advance, i was wondering if you could provide me some matherial to how to perform this restoration? Or should i open a ticket to help me with this task or support?


author: Dominic Lagger
body: Do you know whether you use confluence on server or on cloud? Normally, on every page at the bottom of the page is the confluence version. If there isn't any version, it should be cloud.

If you are on confluence cloud, the space is gone. ([According the documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/delete-a-space-724764816.html))
> Deleting a space is permanent! It doesn't go to the trash and you can't recover it.

If you are on confluence server, you should ask your confluence administrator. I've never done it on my own, but there's also a [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restoring-a-space-152036.html) for that (just for confluence server)

How pages redirection will act with deleted space? (links to deleted space)
Asked by Natalia Perminova:

We're going to delete an old space.

All pages have been moved to the new one. Pages redirection works normally: if "Page not found" message appears, there are links with possible new location of the page.

I wonder, what will happen after the original space will be deleted? While it still exists the "page not found" message appears on that Old space. But what if we delete it, how redirection will perform then?


Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: [@Natalia Perminova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3842799) , you should be able to get the same "Page Not Found" with possible locations. Confluence should be able to map the page with the base URL regardless of your space key.

```
<BASE_URL>/display/<SPACE_KEY>/Your+Page
```

You can probably throw in anything replacing your space key as long as your page exists Confluence will probably give you the same Page Not Found with suggestions.

```
<BASE_URL>/display/aaaaaaaaaaa/Your+Page
```

Hope it helps.

IL

comments: author: Natalia Perminova
body: That makes sense! I tried to change the space key for the link with "page not found" status with some random letters - and it worked the same way. Great!

Confluence on NGINX
Asked by MEDITECH ADMIN TEAM:

I have Confluence running behind NGINX but double checking these instructions:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-858772080.html>

In the NGINX Config: I have just location / \~no context path used.

But the Instructions show both location /confluence and a location /synchrony. Is this necessary? My collaborative editing is working fine but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@MEDITECH ADMIN TEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/604522) ,

it is normally required to have both path so that Synchrony works fine for collaborative editing, because it's listening on a different port from Confluence. But I have to say that I never tried without this configuration.

Have you tried editing a page in several tabs to simulate a collaborative edition ?

Let me know if this helps,

--Alexis

comments: author: MEDITECH ADMIN TEAM
body: Yes, I had another user and I both modify the same document and it worked fine. I thought it wouldn't work without the code for Synchrony hence the confusion. Thanks for the reply.

Cloud Migration Assistant unavailable in Find Apps
Asked by Mark Wickens:

I have followed the instructions to add Cloud Migration Assistant to my Confluence cloud server instance, but it is not available in the list of applications. Is this a restriction on the Free instance, or am I missing something? I also went to a different page that let me download the jar file, but I don't see how I can upload an enable that for the cloud version either.

Thanks for the help, Mark.


Answers:
author: Dario B
body: Hello [@Mark Wickens](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/422955) ,

Please notice that [Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/cloud-migration-assistant-for-confluence-973486571.html) is only available for Confluence Server (on premise).

That's because it only works to migrate content from Confluence Server to Confluence Cloud:
> The [Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219672/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant) is an app that helps you easily move content, users, and groups from Confluence Server or Data Center to Confluence Cloud.

Since you are using Confluence Cloud it is perfectly normal that you cannot find the app.

I hope this explains.

Cheers,  
Dario


author: Mark Wickens
body: Hi Dario, OK I understand thank you.

I have a backup from a previous, now deleted on-premise instance, so was hoping to restore that into the cloud. I'm guessing I need to restore the on-premise server instance first then migrate.

Mark.

comments: author: Dario B
body: If you start a Confluence only Cloud instance you can also restore the backup straight in there, and you can add Jira afterwards.

Otherwise, if you already have both, Jira and Confluence, then using a staging Confluence Server together with the migration assistant can be the way to go.

Answers:

the first three matches are packages for Linux distros. An installer for Windows, as you said you are going with Windows Server 2019, will meet the requirement.

MySQL for Excel, Visual Studio and Notifier are integrations for development and reporting - also not what you are looking for.

With help guide you meant this [documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/connecting-jira-applications-to-mysql-5-7-966063305.html)? Yes, this should help you installing the application.

How do you link directly to an attached file in a page (new editor)?
Asked by richard.wilkinson:

Hello everybody,

Just had a query from a user about creating a link to an attached file in a page. It turned out he was using the new page editor, which has removed the old mechanism, and I'm not sure how to do this any more.

In the old / legacy editor, you could click the "Insert Link" button in the toolbar at the top, select the Files tab from the dialog, select the attachment and enter some link text. It created a link on the page that opened the attached document:  

![Old Link to File dialog.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88940i6417B7F8488A7E7C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Old Link to File dialog.png")

In the new editor, the same button only shows a list of pages in your instance of Confluence:  

![New Link selection.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88941i51430CF0BDF19EA9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "New Link selection.png")I can't find a way to reproduce the old link style. I tried creating a link, opening the attachment in a different tab and pasting the URL but when clicked, that only opens the attachment page not the attachment itself. How do you do this now?  

I wondered if the functionality had just been removed, but the comparison page suggests it still exists:  

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/convert-pages-to-the-new-editor-993930226.html>  

![Conversion table extract.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88942i85E213DECF6C3252/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Conversion table extract.png")  

Or does that just mean that if you have a link like this in your page already, it will still work, but you can't create new ones?  

Thanks,  

Richard  


Answers:
author: Kirsten Erwin
body: Did you ever figure this out? We're having the same issue.

comments: author: richard.wilkinson
body: No, sorry! Just came back to look at old posts and saw this. I don't remember finding a way to do it. I must admit I'd forgotten about it. I think the user must have just decided to do something else...  

Personally I usually use the "attachments" macro with suitable labels or filters just to show the documents I want at that point.  

I've also found that you can add a link that downloads (rather than opens) the attachment, by right-clicking on the download link on the attachments page or macro and selecting "Save link as..." to get the URL. Then you can paste that into a link on the page and clicking it will download the attachment. It's not quite the same but might work for you.  

Hope one of those suggestions helps, if they are not too obvious already.

Not loading multiple images within the Expand macro
Asked by Rory Ayres:

When I use the *Expand* macro within a page, if I place more than one image within the expand, when viewing the page \~90% of the time, only the first image will display.

First image displays fine, but any additional images will display the loading insert icon indefinitely.

It is not just the images that do not load either, it appears that Jira links do not format if placed after the first image either.

My page is built up of multiple Expand macros, only once contains more than one image.

![Screenshot 2020-04-02 at 12.04.08.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88939iB7480965E08E6B59/image-dimensions/431x298?v=v2 "Screenshot 2020-04-02 at 12.04.08.png")

Curiously, if I right click and inspect the element within Chrome, it will load, as will the rest of the images and Jira formatting on the page.

**Browser:** Chrome Version 80.0.3987.162 (Official Build) (64-bit)
