Is Confluence Site ADA Compliant?
Asked by kwani:

Hi,

We are building out Confluence Site for our organization and we are analyzing which features are accessible within Confluence.

Could you please confirm whether Confluence Cloud site is ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliant.

It would be really helpful if you could share if any documentation is available for ADA or any Confluence Accessibility for people with disabilities.

Thank you.

In one of my previous jobs, we were using Confluence to deliver documentation for mainframe products that were used (still are) by many federal and state-level US agencies and authorities - where compliance was paramount. We even had a customized tool to score our content for compliance level. So there's certainly a way.

However, to expand on [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) 's advice, the said specs would apply to stock Confluence features.

As you may customize your site, with third party macros and UI elements, you'd have to factor in those in you compliance equations.

You can learn more about Atlassian accessibility here: <https://www.atlassian.com/accessibility> On this page they have the accessibility standards that they meet for each product. Since ADA is constructed of different standards you will need to find the specific product and download and review the VPAT which goes over the standards that they meet.

page properties report macro - max results per page
Asked by hollis_sosnowitz:

I'm using the page properties report macro to summarize all engineering projects. I've seen in the documentation that the Max results default to 30, but the sysadmin can update to a Max of 5000. I cannot see how/where.

We have exceeded the 30 pages. I'm looking to extend to 50 results.

Any suggestions?

author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Hi [@hollis_sosnowitz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5460124)

I believe you may be looking at the Data Center documentation and not the cloud. To get this reset for the cloud, you'll need to create a support ticket.

On a side note: Users started seeing an issue with the max results setting of this macro a few months back. There are a couple of questions in the community about it ignoring the max result settings, or getting stuck on the first value when setting the macro.

Is there a way to trigger automatic email alert based on page property content?
Asked by Lori Meyer:

We have Confluence pages for each project, and within each page use page properties to capture status reporting. We have a "parent" page using page properties' report to summarize all the child pages.

Is there a way to automatically trigger an e-mail once all the child page properties are populated?

My initial thought is - once all the project numbers are present for the current week ending could be the trigger - but not sure which macro could be used to capture/trigger the email notification.

Any suggestions are appreciated!!

body: [@Lori Meyer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5592196) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

What Confluence version and plan are you using? Data Center or Cloud? If Cloud, Free, Standard, Premium, or Enterprise?

* If you are using a Cloud Premium or Enterprise plan, then you can use the Automation features to implement what you're trying to do.
* I don't use Data Center, so I am not sure what features might be available to you there.

Why can't I edit my Jira Issues macro after insertion?
Asked by Karen West:

I am using the new Jira Issues macro, but as soon as I insert it after setting it up as I need to I can no longer edit it, i.e. the **Edit** pencil icon does not appear when I hover over the macro.

Here's an image showing exactly what happens when using the Jira Legacy macro (1) vs the Jira Issues macro (2).

According to the documentation on the Jira Issues macro [insert the jira issues macro/](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/)

(see "Edit your issues" below) you can do it, but it's not working for me. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Any way to disable related pages feature for specific pages?
Asked by Troy:

Hello, is there a way to disable related pages feature for specific pages? I am conscious you can toggle the feature off via Space settings as described here [Solved: How to remove related pages feature? (atlassian.com)](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-remove-related-pages-feature/qaq-p/2811508)but that gets applied globally in the space for all newly created pages. Some people may desire this feature whilst creating page, others may not, so good to have individual control on the page itself. This used to be an option earlier.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Troy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5321261)

You can play around with macros:

* Recent updates
* Content by label - which is probably more useful for this use case

comments: author: Troy
body: Are you able to elaborate on this please?


author: Kristian Klima
body: You can disable the Related Pages feature globally and use the aforementioned macros on the page(s) that would from displaying the related content.

Example:

I put the two macros (*content by label* was renamed to *filter by label*) to the bottom of my page.

![2024-09-19_13-41-18.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348154iCE0049CFD9AD4711/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-09-19_13-41-18.png")

Filter by label comes with extra options (like keywords) so you can approximate the Related Pages feature.

How to make a page break?
Asked by ricardo_carvalho_glo:

Hello community, I want to know if there is any automation that makes the page break when exporting to PDF without leaving the Documentation with several non-standard spaces?


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@ricardo_carvalho_glo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5595465) ,

I don't believe this is possible with Confluence Automation.


author: Gabriella Evans _K15t_
body: Hi [@ricardo_carvalho_glo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5595465),

The solution I can share isn't quite an automation, but I'll leave the information below, to see if it suits what you're looking for.  

\*\*\*  

You can achieve page breaks in your PDF exports using Scroll PDF Exporter and Scroll Exporter Extensions -- for transparency, both apps are developed by my team at K15t.   

The apps allow you to fully customize your PDF exports from Confluence, including inserting page breaks where you need them.

Whilst the Scroll Exporter Extensions app is free, Scroll PDF Exporter is a paid app, which you'd need for the actual export functionality. You can check out both apps on the Atlassian Marketplace:

* [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
* [Scroll Exporter Extensions](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217037/scroll-exporter-extensions?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Feel free to start a free trial of Scroll PDF Exporter to see if it meets your needs. You can email us at help@k15t.com if you choose to get started and have any questions. :)

Remove default blank line before images
Asked by KD:

Hi guys!

Is there any way that, when I add an image as a screenshot to a Confluence Cloud documentation not as an in-line picture, I do not get the default blank line right before the image? It is enlarging our documentation.

At the moment it looks like:

text

\<blank\>

screenshot


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@KD](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5595457) and welcome to the Community.

Short answer is no.

In lists, you can use Shift-Enter to create a new line and place the image there but the primary reason for this is to create an uninterrupted list.

![2024-09-18_15-55-26.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/347958iB6D7A2F06E764183/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-09-18_15-55-26.png")

This method doesn't seem to be working in regular text.

comments: author: KD
body: Hi Kristian, thanks for welcoming!

That?s a real pity... We love working with Confluence, but it is really interrupting the reading flow.

Any chance a request can be raised to consider changing it?

Thanks for your answer!


author: Kristian Klima
body: As a feature request, perhaps. But what priority it gets, is anyone's guess.

If you're looking for more look and feel customization options, you have to reach out into the marketplace for a theme app.

Language macros {german} and {english} gone
Asked by Steffen Heller:

It seems that the {german} and {english} macros are gone. I recognized 5 days ago that all pages that had the macros included now only display a message "Unknown macro: english/german".

I checked the "Other macros" menu in Edit mode where you can search for all macros and there was no result when I entered "german" or "english". So it seems those macros are not not there anymore.

I contacted our IT support but haven't received a technical answer yet. So, I am trying to inquire myself.

Can anyone tell me what has happened to those macros?  
Have they been phased out globally and don't work and exist for any Confluence version anymore? Or was there some smaller change that I just need an update or something similar?

We are using Atlassian Confluence 8.5.14 and that macro is the first macro in practically all our technical document pages.


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: I received feedback:

"...macro is no longer compatible with the new version of Confluence..." and  
"...was replaced by 'Translations for Confluence' which is a paid update and requires license..."

I searched and found a link:

But there is a possible next problem.  
We have Confluence as Server and that that page says:  

"We no longer offer sales and support for server apps. You can stay connected by exploring the migration options to either the cloud or Data Center version of this app.

How do you fix UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY

It works fine in personal laptop. But not in office laptop (zscaler/firewall might be the reason). But I would like to know how we can resolve this.

Disable Confluence Folders global
Asked by Patrick Alexander:

Hi There,

we have seen the new folders feature in our system. As long it is in the beta status we want to disable it. In the Atlassian Documentation we only find a way to do this per space, but we want to do this global in the system settings.

As far as I know, you should contact support to disable it.

Use automation to add label to Confluence page based on name of parent folder
Asked by vv:

Hello, how would I use automation to add label to Confluence page based on name of folder?


Answers:
author: Laurie Sciutti
body: Hello [@vv](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5410537) \~ I haven't actually tried this but you could theoretically do this via an IF CQL Condition - **parent = "*parentid*"**, replacing parentid with the page ID of the parent folder. Or have a look at the FOR EACH condition if you need to cycle through various folders. I'm using DC and on the free Cloud plan so I don't use Confluence automation but these both look like they may be viable options...

Getting notifications in Teams using Confluence Cloud app
Asked by Ben Forbes:

I've installed the Confluence Cloud app in MS Teams and gone through the process of requesting approval from my admin. It seems to partially work - I can add tabs to chats or channels which have the embedded Confluence pages. But I don't seem to be getting any Confluence notifications within Teams for mentions, comments, changes to watched pages, etc., which was what I really wanted.

I do still see a warning "Ask your admin to review permissions" which says "please send this link to your administrator", but I'm unable to copy this link out from the message - seems like a bug where the link that gets copied is actually a link to the chat message itself.

Can anyone advise on how to get this working?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Can you post a screen shot of this warning? I haven't used this integration myself, but I am curious if it is asking for the Atlassian or MS Teams admin to set permissions.

comments: author: Ben Forbes
body: Hi Shawn,

This was the chat message I was seeing with the warning:

![Confluence Cloud Teams warning.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348560i11A862F0B8A2BB07/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence Cloud Teams warning.png")

The problem was that it wasn't possible to actually copy that link to send to my admin. In the end I worked around it by hovering over the link to see the link text, screenshotting and using OCR to extract the link. Then my admin could follow it to enable the appropriate permissions.

Now it's working perfectly! I can configure notifications to receive real-time alerts in Teams for various things happening in Confluence.

Cheers,

Ben

Numbered Headings published a new version of this page - why is this occurring?

Create from Template Macro without the result being a child page
Asked by Lisa Hanson:

I'm trying to prevent the moving of a page after being created from a macro. In other words, I don't want the page to be a child of the page containing the macro. Is there any way to do with, without moving the page (to the space I want it to be)?

Just trying to prevent additional steps.

TYIA


Answers:
author: Alex Ortiz
body: [@Lisa Hanson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5559492) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!!

A couple things:

Are you setting the appropriate destination space in the configurations of your template macro? I tested by sending the resulting page to a different space and it does indeed land at the root level of the destination space.

Next, if you put macro in the space's overview page, it will create the template page at the root level of that space.

The only time I saw the macro creating the template page as a child of the page containing the macro is when I don't set a different space OR when the page hosting the macro isn't the overview the page.

comments: author: Lisa Hanson
body: This works. But the space isn't correct

![Create from Template Macro 1.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348006iA3DA4799E167E8DC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Create from Template Macro 1.jpg")

If I change the "Space key" location to another space, the "Template Name" becomes blank.

![Create from Template Macro 2.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/348007i929123489BBA63A4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Create from Template Macro 2.jpg")

If I click on the drop down, the template I want is no longer listed  

I am testing this out. The Template I want to launch is in "My Templates". Maybe that's the problem(?)


author: Alex Ortiz
body: I think that's going to be it. "My Templates" are local to the space, so if you are trying to go to a different space, the template doesn't exist there. You may need to work with your Confluence administrator to help you make the template global. . . or recreate the template in the other space as well.


author: Lisa Hanson
body: Excellent. Thank you for your guidance. Very much appreciated :)
