Embedding a Jira Roadmap not working
Asked by Tim Evans:

I'm using the macro to insert a Jira Roadmap in my Confluence page.

Both Jira and Confluence are the latest and greatest Cloud versions, so everything should just work, I think.

However, what happens is that I just see a blank space, where the Jira Roadmap should be. Has anyone got any tips or suggestions to get this working?

Many thanks,

Tim

How to grant access to page, for a non accessible space
Asked by gandalf:

Hi Everyone

I need to grant access to a page for a user that has no access to the space, but only to that page. The restrictions mechanism is not viable for this scenario.

Is there a more simple way to this than restrictions?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You can't do this, it's not possible to ignore the space permissions arbitrarily.

You'll need to put the page in a space that is accessible by that user, and make sure that the page is not restricted away from them in the hierarchy.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: There is a hierarchy to access permissions. If you have one page I would suggest exporting it and emailing it to the user. In order to make a single page visible you would have to make the space public and then lock down all other pages. This seems like a lot of work and risk in order to have one page shared to an individual.

Approvals for Confluence - mass approve?
Asked by Rosa M Fossi:

Does approvals for confluence (cloud) have a way to mass approve? I like to review several documents and tweak, etc. and when satisfied, approve in bulk... is this available?


Answers:
author: Craig Willson (AppFox)
body: Hi Rosa,

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I'm Craig from Automation Consultants and first of all, our sincerest apologies for the delay in responding. We did not see your message until now.

Unfortunately, the ability to mass approve on our Confluence cloud app is not available. It's a great idea and we could look at including this in the approval search page where you can filter through approval status' and see which ones are "pending" approval.

At this stage, there could be the option to select in bulk and perform a specific action (e.g. approve, reject). Please let us know if this idea would fit what you were thinking.

In the meantime, we have added this to our roadmap for future improvements ([https://trello.com/c/sDBhiIRh](https://trello.com/c/sDBhiIRh "https://trello.com/c/sdbhiirh")) where you can follow our progress with implementing new features.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

How to get the Page Break macro back?
Asked by Jenna Dowdle:

I used to use the page break macro regularly in my confluence pages, but since Confluence did a recent update, I know longer have the page break macro. Is there a way to bring it back or an equivalent macro?


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@Jenna Dowdle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3874883) ,

You are correct. I checked mine and no, it is not there. I did, however find a [page that describes making a page break macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-create-a-page-break-function-in-confluence-to-control-pagination-in-pdf-exports-735943076.html) which also references a Confluence improvement issue that says they are not going to do it.

Hope this helps.

New layout
Asked by Reto Sch?rch:

Hi

We updated the layout of Confluence to the new layout (white navigation on top of the page). After cleaning my cache, history, cookies the layout was set back to the old one including the blue navigation on the left side of the screen.

Does anyone know why this is related to my individual settings of my browser?

Why does Confluence not keep the layout?

Thanks, Reto


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Reto,

The change in navigation is not cookie based as I was able to set it in my browser and clear cache and it remained. I was also able to open another browser and confirm that my preference for the new navigation was there. You can turn it on and off in your Confluence profile. I would suggest turning it on and then clearing your cache again to see if you have the same problem as I was not able to recreate on my end. I am wondering if this was just a one time issue.

comments: author: Reto Sch?rch
body: Thanks for the fast answer. I guessed it would not be a configuration of the browser.

Can you tell me where to find it in the Confluence profile? Can I (admin) set that for all the users?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: When you are logged into Confluence it is the menu on the upper right hand side. See image below.

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/91321iD0D178D67DB6F947/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

It is the default now and has been rolled out to users so there is nothing to turn on or set. If they choose to use the old navigation they can but eventually this will be deprecated and go away. You can learn more about new navigation here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/New-navigation-and-Home-are-coming-to-Confluence-Cloud/ba-p/1211418>


author: Reto Sch?rch
body: Thanks, I could switch back to the new navigation.

But: Switching to Firefox, I had the old navigation again. Clearing my data back in Chrome and login in new into Confluence, it also switched back to the old navigation. It is not a one time issue.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: It sounds like it is applying via application cookies. I am not able to replicate this on my instance but it has had the new navigation longer.


author: Reto Sch?rch
body: No problem. I know how to switch back. That ist ok. Thanks again.

Is it possible to add Visio software / diagrams into confluence space/pages?
Asked by Reginald Titus:

Our department wants to store information in confluence spaces/pages instead of using SharePoint for document access. Is it possible to add, store, and edit Visio diagrams in confluence spaces/pages? Does Atlassian have a Macro that is similar to Visio that may be used for our engineering department?

Thank you,

Reginald


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@Reginald Titus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3838839)

Welcome to a larger, brighter world past SharePoint!

So... to answer your question; if you want to use Lucid, [there is indeed a free connector that ties your Lucid accounts to Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/350288/lucidchart-diagrams-connector?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). This does *not* store them locally but it looks/feels like that for display, edit, etc.

If you want a good diagramming tool that is rather more local/native to Confluence you can also look at [Gliffy Diagrams for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/254/gliffy-diagrams-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

insert title page or html content on pdf export if page has label
Asked by Douglas Cooper:

I would like to be able to include a pre-formatted cover page on pdf export IF the page has a label. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Douglas Cooper](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2326448) !

For Confluence Server, the PDF export feature does allow for the creation of a Title Page. However, the existence or not of it is not based on Labels. Since the PDF Styles are based on a combination of CSS and HTML, there is a chance that this is achievable:
> * [++***\[Stackoverflow\] Can you use if/else conditions in CSS?***++](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1129699/can-you-use-if-else-conditions-in-css)

How to mirror tabs
Asked by Angelo Nigro:

Hi Team,

I am trying to mirror info from one Confluence page to an other and I found very useful the Excerpt Macro. The only issue that I am facing is that I can not find a way to collapse the macro as if it is an expand that you can open up when needed. Is there a way to make it works as the Expand Macro or to insert it in it?

Many thanks,

Best,

Angelo


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Angelo Nigro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3829911) !

As I understand, you need to include an Excerpt Include Macro within another macro, the Expand Macro.

You should be able to insert the Excerpt Include macro into the Expand macro. I tried on my own Confluence Cloud site and it works as expected. Here is what I did:
> 1. *Create a new page*
> 2. *Insert the Excerpt Macro*
> 3. *Type whatever I need inside the macro*
> 4. *Publish the page*
> 5. *Create a new page*
> 6. *Insert the Expand macro*
> 7. *Select the text field within the Expand macro*
> 8. *Insert the Excerpt Include macro within the Expand macro*
> 9. *Select the page where I put the Excerpt macro in the Excerpt Include macro settings*
> 10. *Publish the page*

After I published the page, the expand macro works as expected.

Here is what it looks like on my end:
> ![Screen-Recording-2020-04-21-at-1(1).gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/91552i1228F9A67EF9D714/image-dimensions/447x260?v=v2 "Screen-Recording-2020-04-21-at-1(1).gif")

If you need more details on these macros, you can check here:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Expand Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/expand-macro-724765195.html)***++
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Excerpt Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/excerpt-macro-724765191.html)***++
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Excerpt Include Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/excerpt-include-macro-724765190.html)***++

I hope this helps!

comments: author: Angelo Nigro
body: Hi Diego,

Many thanks for your quick reply and the video-guide.

As expected the Expand Macro works perfectly fine when including the Excerpt Include Macro but unfortunately it seems not working the same way with the Excerpt Macro.

When I try to insert the Excerpt Macro in an Expand Macro it just goes below it but I can not include it in the Expand.

It would be great if both the Excerpt and the Excerpt Include Macros could be insert in an Expand.

Best,

Angelo


author: Diego
body: Alright! Thanks for keeping the thread alive, [@Angelo Nigro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3829911). I certainly misunderstood your initial request.

Upon testing, I can guarantee you that the behavior you described is present.

With this in mind, I can see how this fall under this report:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Nest Expand or other Bodied Macros in another Macro](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-68323)***++

The best course of action right now is to vote and watch the report. Let me know if this clears things up!
Email updates when a blog post is pulled into a page with the blog macro?
Asked by Christopher Brown:

If I am watching a specific page that has a blog macro to pull in blog posts, and where I have selected to get email updates when edits are made to the page, will I get an email update when a blog post is created and it appears in the page?


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: You will receive a notification when there's a new version of the page you're watching. Since the macro is embedding dynamic content, the content can change without new page versions being created. This means you will not be notified if you only watch the page that the macro is in.

If you want to be notified about new blog posts you should watch a space for new blog posts, as described in [this article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs-139579.html).

Cheers,

Where do i find prices for upgrading Confluence from 100 users to 250, including add-ons?

Where can i find the prices?


Answers:

easiest would be contacting your Atlassian partner for licenses - to synchronize them for example.

To have a look on the prizes have a look on the pages  
Confluence <https://www.atlassian.com/de/software/confluence/pricing?tab=self-managed>  
Apps <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/> (have a look on pricing tab of the app)

Hope this helps!

comments: author: amiram.fuerst
body: I understand the pricing model for upgrade of Confluence tier server;

New Tier price minus 50% of current tier price.

But what happens with the add-ons price change, does each of them use the same pricing upgrade model?

It is no longer possible to edit old pages after updating from 6.15.6 to 7.3.2 / 7.3.5
Asked by Kai_Kockott:

We updated version 6.15.6 to 7.3.2 or today again to 7.3.5 (to avoid errors) and since then we can no longer edit old pages. Creating new pages, changing and also deleting is easy. If you want to edit an old page you get the German message:

**Bearbeiten nicht m?glich**   
**Bearbeiten ist momentan nicht verf?gbar. Versuchen Sie es in wenigen Minuten erneut.**

I have checked all sorts of settings etc. and according to Confluence the system is also working properly - i.e. all system check settings are green and ok. It's not because of the iptables proxy either. I have already deactivated Iptables and changed the port to 8090 directly or tested without success - same problem

We urgently need a solution because we can no longer adapt old pages.

Help links produce blank web pages in IE11
Asked by software_compliance:

the following link \<<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf72/confluence-server-documentation-982322439.html>\> appears blank in IE11 but works fine in Chrome. Can anyone explain this please?


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: It looks like there are some errors thrown by Scroll Viewport (both in Chrome \& IE11):

Maybe these errors are just too much for ye olde IE to handle.

I've submitted a support request with K15t to let them know. For now you should probably just use Chrome instead. (Well, not only for now - but probably you should ditch IE11 completely if you get the chance ?)

Cheers,  
Sven

comments: author: software_compliance
body: Any response on this Sven from K15t? Use of IE is pretty much mandatory for some reason in our organisation.


author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: I raised a support ticket and they looked at this thread but you're correct: seems like nothing has happened so far. The problem is that they will probably also have to raise a ticket with Atlassian as I'm not sure whether they have a way to contact someone about this directly. Nevertheless, might make sense if you also [raise a ticket](https://k15t.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

Cheers,  
Sven


author: software_compliance
body: Hi Sven, not sure why the K15t support website? This is just from a general Confluence screen link.


author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: As seen above, the error is thrown by Scroll Viewport which is from K15t. The official Confluence documentation uses this app and to fix this error, K15t will likely need to release a bugfix (if they haven't already) and Atlassian will need to upgrade to the newest version.


author: software_compliance
body: Thanks for that Sven I was not aware that this was a third party addition embedded in Confluence. You learn a new thing everyday!
