How to create new pages in edit-mode?
Asked by Florian Kondert:

Hi!

I used to be familiar with Confluence in 2012. Forgot a lot of stuff and much changed as well. Now I'm back and use the new cloud version for the moment.

**My issue:**

Since I already spent time without results on the web to understand, how to create a new (child) page, while editing content in another page, I'm placing the question here as well.

Example:

* I'm in edit-mode of *page X* to create a new overview page.
* While writing, I also want to create a number of child pages for later detail work. Like this (Methods \| Stories \| etc.):

![Bildschirmfoto 2019-08-22 um 09.02.27.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64014i0BDBD812F95BDE6A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Bildschirmfoto 2019-08-22 um 09.02.27.png")I remember there was very useful command to do this on the fly without saving the current page, and then creating the child pages with "c" afterwards peace by peace.

Would appreciate your support a lot to save me a lot of time and clicks ;)

Thank you very much!

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

I have to say that I have been working with Confluence for nearly as long as you have, but I don't remember a feature like that. The one feature that it does sound like is [creating Undefined Page Links](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/undefined-page-links-139580.html). With Undefined Page Links, you can refer to pages in Confluence that don't yet exist. Once you save the page, you will be able to click on the undefined page links that you have created. By clicking on them, it prompts you to create a page with that page name.

Unfortunately, this feature does not exist in Confluence Cloud. We have a feature request for that below:

* [CONFCLOUD-65634](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65634) *Cannot create "undefined page link" in Fabric Editor*

Please vote on the feature if this is what you were looking for, and let me know if you have any questions about it.

Regards,

Shannon

body: Hi Shannon,

your description is exactly, what I meant -- sorry for the bad initial description.

And it fits totally to my remembering, since last time I used Confluence, it was Server-based. Here we go ;)

Thanks so much for stoping me here wondering how to find that feature!

Best

Florian


author: Shannon S
body: Florian,

You're welcome!

If you still have the old editor you can probably still use that feature on those pages, but not on any of the New Editor pages. The feature I sent you is to include it in the new editor.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Is there a way to create a wizard on our company intranet to go through some diligence?
Asked by Lucy Lee:

We are working on a project where we want employees to answer some questions and the end result will depend on the answers to those questions.

Having a wizard on the intranet will be ideal. Is there a way to create a Wizard on Confluence? If so, what are the steps and where can I find the information to create this wizard?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Lucy,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

Can you tell me what the end result would be after using the wizard? Does the user need to be directed to a specific page? Will a page be created? Is the point of the wizard to obtain information, like in a survey?

This would most likely require an add-on from [Atlassian Marketplace](http://marketplace.atlassian.com), and we might be able to recommend one to you if we know exactly what the add-on needs to accomplish.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Lucy Lee
body: Hi Shannon,

<br />

Nice to meet you as well. We are looking to use the wizard to obtain information to make a decision; it has nothing to do with a survey.  
How much would an "add-on" cost in general?

<br />

Thanks,Lucy


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Lucy,

Apologies for the delay. The pricing for an add-on depends on what the vendor has charged for it, but you can see the price for any add-on by clicking on **Pricing** at the top of the listing.

An example of how that will look once you click on the Pricing tab:

![Screen Shot 2019-08-30 at 16.42.43.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/64834i09994AF0BD4DAF39/image-dimensions/446x235?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-08-30 at 16.42.43.png")

This is only one example, so if there's an add-on you're interested in, check out the price on Marketplace.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon

URL did not change after renaming a page
Asked by Dena Campasano:

Hello,   
I couldn't find that this had been asked yet.   
We are on Cloud Confluence. We changed the name of one of our pages a few weeks ago, but the URL does not reflect this change and still shows the old title.  

I can't find anywhere in the page settings where I can manually update this.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Milan Chheda [INFOSYSTA]
body: I would recommend to use "Tiny link" instead of the "Link" option when sharing a page with anyone. Tiny link stays the same even if the page title is renamed.

Separately, you can check and track this suggestion raised in Confluence: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-2906>

comments: author: Dena Campasano
body: It's not about link sharing, rather keeping our URLs clean and matching the page name. Most of our people utilize navigation rather than direct links anyway. The URL has the old page name which is not reflective of the data that is currently there.
How do I know with whom I have shared a page?
Asked by Jie Kang:

Unlike Google Drive, I don't see a way in Confluence to find out with whom I have shared a page. If the feature is indeed missing, is there a plan to implement it in the near future?


Answers:
author: Greg Zwierzynski
body: Hi [@Jie Kang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2849681) - I don't think this feature exists now.

Where is the start button for Cloud Migration Assistant for Confluence?
Asked by Karl M Kovaciny:

The directions for using the migration assistant say,
> 1. Install the Cloud Migration Assistant on your Confluence Server instance (admins only). If you are using Confluence Server 6.13 or higher, this app is already installed.
> 2. Using the Cloud Migration Assistant, run an analysis of your Confluence Server instance to see how many users, groups, spaces, pages, and attachments you have. You will also get an estimate of how long it will take to migrate all your data
>
> (<https://www.atlassian.com/blog/it-teams/confluence-cloud-migration-assistant>)
>
> Once you have the app installed, there are five key steps to set up and run your migration from server or Data Centre to cloud:
>
> 1. Connect to cloud
>
> 2. Choose what to migrate
>
> 3. Check for errors
>
> 4. Review your migration
>
> 5. Migrate
>
> (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/cloud-migration-assistant-for-confluence-973486571.html>)

Neither of these pages tells me: What page do I go to to initiate this process? How do I run an app I installed on Confluence? I'm surprised that installing the app doesn't finish by offering you a big green button that says "Start Migration".

* Find gear icon on top right-hand corner (near search box),
* Click on gear and select 'Manage Apps' option
* This will take you to the list of Apps you have, check if you have up to date version of 'Cloud Migration Assistance for Confluence" listed there
* If it is not updated please update it before starting migration.

To start migration,

* Login as Admin and click gear icon and select 'General Configuration'
* Now on this page, on Left Bar find 'Atlassian Cloud' below which 'Migration Assistant' (at bottom of page on left bar)

Using formula in Structure to calculate sum from fields in tickets
Asked by ryanzawada:

Hi Atlassian Community, was wondering if i could get some help with a formula.

Basically I would like to know how to add to fields together and then be able to multiply these numbers together. This information will be extracted from tickets within the structure from a project.

For example,

-Field 1 (i) = 4

-Field 2 (P)= 2

-Field 3 (O)= 2

-The formula adds P+i together to get the sum, then the formula multiplies (i) with the sum from (P+i), multiplied by (O) - (i x (P+i) x O).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Vlad Lessage
body: Hi there!

Thanks for posting.

Just to make sure I understand the final number you're looking for, is it the following operation that you want?

Formula = (P+i) \* (i) \* ((O)-(i \*(P+i) \*O))

Please let me know if that is the case so I can help you with the Formula syntax.

I look forward to assisting you.

Best Regards,

Can you have Font Awesome in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Dominik_Cholewski:

Hi there,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Font Awesome (the font, not the SVGs) in Confluence Cloud content? If it is possible, mind sharing the instructions on how to do so?

My company uses Confluence Cloud for internal documentation (no chance of changing that to Confluence Server). We need to use Font Awesome icons within the text for our documentation/UI.

Thanks!

body: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news [@Dominik_Cholewski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3395100) : it is not possible :(

If it helps for future reference (you never know when Server becomes relevant) here is the Atlassian Documentation and a handy Marketplace App for AWESOME icons:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-fonts-in-confluence-174751968.html>

Taking away confluence permission even though that person is an admin.
