Unable to select text for copy from a published code block macro
Asked by Jon Kovalik:

I'm running on Confluence DC 7.19.3 and published a page with a code block using the code block macro. While in a published state, I am unable to select text in the code block to copy and paste (ie to a terminal). The block essentially appears to be an image that doesn't allow selecting of any text. My workaround is to edit the page and select the code, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

I know this is possible as another instance for which I do not administer, can perform this functionality. Is there a configuration setting to change this behavior?

body: Hi [@Jon Kovalik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4764365) ,

Not quite sure if this is something than can be configured in any way. Seems more like a bug than a feature. Are you able to reproduce this on a different browsers? Is someone else also having this problem? Does is relate to specific page or code that you paste?

comments: author: Jon Kovalik
body: This occurs in multiple browsers (seems to be unique to our instance of confluence). Are users are seeing the same behavior and it occurs for any instance of using a code block macro.


author: Mirek
body: Do you see any errors in the browser "Developer tools" when you load a page that contains Code Block macro?

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/generating-har-files-and-analyzing-web-requests-720420612.html>

Basically we would have to analyze web requests and make sure that page is fully loading correctly without any errors...

If you find anything suspicious please share - it might lead us towards resolution


author: Jon Kovalik
body: No errors being reported, but 56 warnings that are mostly tagged with DEPRECATED. I'll take a look through the details, but nothing obvious.

Create table to auto-retrieve value from the page and show in the table
Asked by candace xien:

My Requirement is

- Create a dynamic table (static header and dynamic value in the table)

- The table can automatically retrieve the value from the page which has same header

For example  
- In the page , I created a nice layout to display 5 values for A B C D E

- In the table, I have 5 Columns for A B C D E

- Every time I change the value, it will automatically synced in the table


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@candace xien](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5128247),  

I can suggest using the standard Confluence macros -- [Page Properties/Page Properties Report](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-properties-report-macro/). You'll be able to create one-row tables with the same headers on your "slave" pages and collect these tables automatically on your "master" page.  

When you change data in your source mini-tables, the information in the big combined report is automatically updated.  

If you need to collect multiple-row tables into one big report, you may use our app -- [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111). Its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros will do the trick.

comments: author: candace xien
body: Yes, it will be multiple rows table. Thank you so much for your suggestion, I will try the app you suggested. Thank you!

adding files to page
Asked by Gregory Takata:

How do I add a file to a page and make it so that if someone access that file, that file becomes locked for other people to access it


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: There isn't a way to lock files inherently within Confluence. Confluence is not a documentation management application. If you wanted to do something like this, as an example, you could have links to files that are stored/managed by a documentation management solution, for example SharePoint.

Confluence Templates for Jira Automation

I assume because you're not seeing anything that you don't have any custom templates created.

body: I am facing the same issue as JoEllen, the relatively newer templates are not populating. But the rule was working at one point and these templates were available to be used in the automation rule and now they are gone.

body: I'm having a similar issue as well. I've created a new template but I can't select it from a jira automation. Hopefully it just takes some time to sync and my new template will show up soon.


author: Cam Jackson
body: I don't know if this is accurate or not, but several people on other issues/questions have suggested that templates do not show up in jira automation if they have any variables.

Which kind of defeats the whole purpose. The whole reason I created a template in the first place was to be able to auto-fill it from a jira automation. Guess I can't do that unless this feature request gets implemented: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-82>

How do I publish data, which is on a linux server farm on my Confluence page?
Asked by yankeemike:

I access my company's Confluence through the company cloud on my windows laptop. I have some data on a Linux server farm that I want to publish in the Confluence page I create. This data can be available in different formats such as html or xml etc. How do I publish this data, which is on a linux server farm on my Confluence page?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The most simple way to do it is to upload the files to a Confluence page, and then refer to them in macros that read attachments and format the data in them nicely.

But that does mean that you will be working with static data. If something on your other server changes, then you'll need to generate and attach a new file.

You might be able to be a bit more clever. Does your Linux server publish these files somewhere that Cloud can see them? Even if it's just raw HTML or XML? There are apps for Confluence that can say things like "and here in this page, draw a pretty table based on the data found at <https://somewhere.com/publicfiles/bob.xml>"

iftttResult object properties/fields
Asked by Chris Iacovelli:

Is there some documentation that informs on the properties/fields of the iftttResult populated after an IFTTT request/action?

There is a reference to it on the [Advanced integrations with IFTTT macros with ConfiForms](https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Advanced+integrations+with+IFTTT+macros+with+ConfiForms) page:

* ... IFTTT handler actually creates a page you can reference it via ${iftttResult_0.id}, basically the parameter ${iftttResult_0} holds a reference to Page object created (see here the object properties: <https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/pages/AbstractPage.html>). All getters (get methods are available for you).

but unfortunately this drive you to a dead link on the Atlassian side:

Error when export to Word
Asked by Guillaume CHASSAING:

Hello,

On a Confluence space where we defined variant - and no versioning, when I click on the three dots menu \[...\] at the top right corner of a page and select Export to Word, I have the following error:

Page Not Available {#toc-hId--496425997}
----------------------------------------

You cannot export this page, because it is not available in the current version, variant, or language.

Does anyone already face this problem and could help to solve it ?

Compare Unpublished Changes with Last Published?
Asked by Rob Clemens:

I called up a Confluence page that I haven't looked at for a few months. To my surprise, it shows UNPUBLISHED CHANGES. I don't recall making any edits to this page. But the fact it's displaying this tells me that: Either I made some edits and forgot to Publish them, OR I had inadvertently made some edits that I do NOT want published. So I either want to Publish or Discard, based on what those changes are. The only way to know for sure is to see a comparison of my Unpublished Changes against the Current published doc. This seems like it would be such a basic function, but I see no command that allows you to specify your current draft in the Comparison dialog. HOW DO I DO THAT?

To add external user to specific prooject
Asked by Ira:

I want to create a Project on confluence that can be shared with external people who are not workers of our company, but they need to have access to only specific projects.

I saw there is a beta feature "External collaboration with guests ".

Does it mean this is the exact feature that will answer my need, or do those guests still need to be added to Confluence?


Answers:
author: Hamza Chundrigar
body: Hi [@Ira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4182264)

Yes, If you're looking to invite external members to a specific Confluence space, then you can utilize the beta feature "Single Space Guests". For each paid user on a Confluence site, Admins will be able to add up to 5 guests for no additional cost.  

Only organization or site admins can invite guests to Confluence. [As per the article](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/):

To invite a guest:

1. Go to [admin.atlassian.com](http://admin.atlassian.com/). If you have more than one organization, select the one you want.

2. Select **Directory** \> **Users**.

3. Select **Invite users**.

4. Add the email addresses of the guests you want to invite

5. Open the product role dropdown for Confluence.

6. Unselect **User**.

7. Select **Guest.**

8. (Optional) Personalize the email invite that the guests will receive.

9. Select **Invite users.**

Once a guest is invited, they can then be added to a space.

Guests can only have access to one space at a time (assigned by an admin) and that access has certain limitations. Guests can only see and collaborate on content within their designated space. They will not see the people directory like a regular user and cannot change permissions within a space. They can, however, create pages, comment, and edit content within that space unless otherwise restricted at the user level by a space admin.

I would recommend you check out this article to see what guests can see and do in Confluence.

* <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-can-guests-see-and-do-on-confluence/>  

comments: author: Allison
body: Hi Hamza,

I need to invite a guest collaborator on a page in my project. When I go to [admin.atlassian.com](http://admin.atlassian.com/), I don't see anything but an option to create a project, no Directory, so I can't begin. Can you advise?

Thanks!

How to enable the "Embedding Codes" option in Confluence?
Asked by Ahmad Mayar:

I need to embed a digital asset management tool (DAM) powered by Bynder into my Confluence instance, but I just found that the embedding code feature has been disabled by Atlassian - for security and safety reasons.

wondering if someone had the same experience and they could share or guide me as I am desperately look to solving this issue.

It's an HTML embed code, generated from Bynder. I just wanted to simply past it into a Confluence page.

Hopefully, there is workaround so I can figure this out.

author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi Ahmad,

Unfortunately, the only solution is to install some Confluence Cloud Addon that allows HTML embedding.

User macros allow HTML and JavaScript to run in Confluence Cloud, which can affect performance. To see what custom macros can be added to Confluence Cloud, check out the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=confluence%20cloud%20macros). Note: To install any of the Confluence Cloud macro apps, you must be the administrator for the Atlassian Cloud site.

The screenshot which you have added is to create new site where you need to login and give the site name for example if your organization name is XYZ then ideally it would be xyz.atlassian.net and by default it will add wiki if you are setting up confluence.

But if your organization already has a confluence site then you can follow [@Rilwan Ahmed](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/716861) answer and if you don't have access then reach out to your Site Administrator/Confluence Administrator.

Hope this helps!
