make a sub page out of normal page
Asked by Corinna:

Hello how can i make a normal page to a sub page of another page ? I have meeting minutes (pages) which now i want to subordinate to a parent page called "irregular meeting minutes". Does this work ?


Answers:
author: Steffen Heller
body: Move the meeting minutes as described by Anne or click "Tools \> View in Hierarchy" and then click, hold and move the pages to their desired location (also needs to be done one by one, unfortunately).


author: Mirek
body: If I understand correctly .. you want to create a child page.. if so then just go to the parent where you want to have a sub-page and on this page click **Create** and save your page. it will be created as a sub page of existing page.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Or if you are wanting to have the same page appear in two locations, you can use the [include-page-macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html) to have it appear as a child page in one place, but then not have to move the original page.


author: Anne EQS
body: In case you want to move an existing page choose Tools \> Move and select the according location for your page.

Seach for labels in Confluence
Asked by Corinna:

How can i start a search with labels as search criteria in Confluence ?!


Answers:
author: Anne EQS
body: Searching for labels {#toc-hId--1325716420}
-------------------------------------------

Use the labelText: prefix to search specifically for content that has a specific label.

```
labelText:chocolate
```


author: Milo Test
body: To add onto @Anne Pirchmoser's answer, you might get improved results by adding an asterisk after the search term:

```
labelText:chocolate*
```

And mind the case of "labelText," it must be exactly so.

Is it possible to customize the dashboard?
Asked by jprateragg:

We're using 5.9.5. Is it possible to customize the default dashboard at all? I saw under **General Configuration \> Further Configuration** I could customize the Welcome message. But is it possible to change other aspects of the dashboard? Or, do I just need to create a new space (called Dashboard or something) and create my own dashboard that way? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Nelson Carranza
body: Hi,

Yes, you can create your dashboard space. Modify the space homepage the way you want it, and then set it as the site home page under **General Configuration \> Further Configuration**

Confiforms - archive record to a table on a different page.
Asked by Jason Corbet:

Hi all, I have been trying to enable the archive of a table row from one confiform to a form on another page.

I followed all instructions as per the tutorial <http://wiki.vertuna.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5341742> but nothing is transferring and the rows on the master page aren't deleting.

Master Page - where the information is logged.

* MasterPage_tableView
* MasterPage_form_pt1
* MasterPage_form_pt2

Archive Page - where the info goes.

* ArchivePage.

I would copy the code to show you but can't seem to do it.

if you are an admin you can login as that user. go to user management, click on the related person and click on log in as user. then you can go to that user's personal settings and manage e-mail settings.

comments: author: Chris Flynn
body: I know I have done this in older versions of JIRA and probably Confluence, but for some reason I cannot find that link any more. We are using Confluence v5.7.3 and the account is from an external user management directory (Microsoft Active Directory). Do you think either of those scenarios would disable the "login as user" link?


author: Elifcan Cakmak
body: I don't think the version has any effect because we have 6.0.0. But you may be right, I think it isn't working because you get the users from another directory. I can't think of any other way to do this, unfortunately. Why can't your users login to manage their settings?


author: Chris Flynn
body: The user recently took a new position for a different part of our parent company. So he "technically" doesn't work for my company anymore, but for some reason his account for our company was never disabled. I thought it would be easier to just remove the notifications for him rather than dealing with HR to figure out why his account was not disabled. I also thought this might be good to know in the future. Oh well. I guess I will have him contact our support team and reset his password.

thanks for the help.

Import Bulk Files into Confluence Cloud Best Practices

Hide author name/last updated on Confluence Server?
Asked by Andrew Girardeau-Dale:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [How to hide authors name(created by) in a page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=701600769)*

This article explains how to hide the time and author of the last update to a page:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-authors-name-created-by-in-a-page-701600769.html>

Hovewer, I have only have an option for "PDF Stylesheet," and no option for simply "Stylesheet." Is this due to me using Confluence Cloud instead of Confluence Server?


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: Have you asked Atlassian support about this? It may be restricted so that you can't add CSS but they may be able to do it on their end. I have a server version so I don't know much about what restrictions the cloud version has.


author: Andrew Girardeau-Dale
body: Turns out, per the following page, that styling Confluence with CSS is restricted (can't be used on Cloud):

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html>

I have to say this really doesn't make sense to me given that Confluence Cloud offers a CSS Macro. Right now I'm just adding that macro to all my existing pages and making a template for new pages, but this is a lot of work (especially if I later want CSS changes) with no real point since there could just be a global CSS setting.


author: Alex Yasurek
body: This requires having administration permission for the instance, not a space. I am not sure though if its different on the Cloud instance but on the server instance you would click on the gear icon on the top right corner, then General Configuration from the drop down, then look for the "Look and Feel" section on the left side navigation and look for stylesheet there. If you can't get to this section then you may not have Confluence admin permission. You may need to ask Confluence support to do it for you if you are an admin but still can't see it.

Is it okay to start at Heading 2 instead of Heading 1?
Asked by jprateragg:

We're using the built-in styles in Confluence right now, and they work. However, there are some pages that have just a few paragraphs of content, but still needs to be separated by headings. The text for Heading 1 is too large and looks funny, but the Heading 2 is a good size. We use Heading 1 on other pages that are longer, but there are some pages where we start at Heading 2 (and only use Heading 2 to separate a few paragraphs of content). Is this okay? Is this going to cause a problem in the future? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: It's totally OK to do that. There are very few macros that utilize the heading styles, and even then, they'll likely work fine if you are consistent.


author: Bill Bailey
body: As a tech writer, that is an absolute no-no. :wink: When you try to PDF content from a collection of pages, having some of the pages have poor hierarchy, can screw up the final results. Also, if you later want to have in-page ToC that stops at a certain level, you will get inconsistent results.

I would opt to have custom CSS to make the headings closer to what you want and usable in all situations. BUT there are no rules to prevent you from doing what you do.


author: Steffen Heller
body: Well, if you have pages that belong together, the different headings should represent a certain hierarchy. If you use headings for design purposes instead, the hierarchy will get mixed up. For example, if you create a table of content the Heading 2 pages will be rendered as children of the above Heading 1 pages which is probably not what you want.
Disabling the "Like" feature on Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Andrew Girardeau-Dale:

This article describes the Confluence "Like" feature, and states that it can be disabled in the Manage Add-Ons screen:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/likes-and-popular-content-278695530.html#LikesandPopularContent-Disablingthelikefeature>

However, in my Manage Add-Ons screen, though there is an entry for "Confluence Like Plugin," it is in the "System" section and there is no "Disable" button. I am on Confluence Cloud, is the "Like" feature simply not removable for me because of that?

author: Daniel Miller
body: Nasty yet effective workaround:

create a "div" macro, set style to:

position:absolute;background-color:white;height:120px;width:400px;z-index:999

put this at the bottom of the page and it will cover the like thumb and text with white pixels. You may have to change the color to fit your theme.

Never say "never".

comments: author: Edward Santos
body: Thanks for this!


author: Andy Webb
body: There must be some way. I have a cloud version with it disabled and it still shows disabled. In fact, I don't see now how to enable it again if I wanted to.

author: Daniel Miller
body: Very confusing - the cloud docs themselves say you can disable it:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/likes-and-popular-content-724765328.html>

Very disappointing that something so basic is impossible with cloud. Not all pages are meant to be "liked/disliked".

Securing Confluence
Asked by Richard Kenneth Burch II:

Is there any way to grant explicit access to a page by group? I want to create a portal that external users can log into (thus they'll need to have application access) and I'm trying to determine the best way for securing all of our existing spaces and pages.

Scenario:

Confluence has 8 spaces and each space has it's respective pages. I want to be able to add a new user, have them be able to log in, but only have view access to 1 page within a specific space.

Is there any way to make this happen? It seems that, at a minimum, everyone I add must have view access to everything. If that's the case I'd need to have all my space admins lock down their spaces and it would be an ongoing effort to ensure space admins don't accidentally allow this particular group access when creating future spaces.

Any help is appreciated.


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: Yes you are right that everyone must at least have view access but what you do is restrict pages so that only certain people/groups are allowed to see them. So in you case you would give view permission to this user for the whole space but then you would need to add restrictions on all the pages you DONT want them to see.

It will be easier if you create a group for these new users and one for the people who are allowed to view everything. This way you give these groups view permission on the space but then you add restrictions on all the pages you dont want new users to see and assign view permission to only your group.

This way when you have a new user join you just add them to the new user group and nothing else would need to be done because permissions and restrictions are already in place in the spaces.

What macro is used on the official Confluence to make those nice lists/tables?
Asked by jprateragg:

We're starting to add a lot of documentation to our on-premises Confluence. One of the things I liked when looking at the official Confluence documentation were the lists/tables they have. What macro is used to do the lists in the official Confluence documentation?

For example: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html> Under "Create a User Macro", the list/table that's below the "To add a new user macro", I love how the table looks and I would like to be able to recreate it in my Confluence.

We're using 5.9.5. Thanks.


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: I am not exactly sure. It could be the Bob Swift Advanced Tables macro or something custom with CSS because all they are doing is removing the left and right border from cells and only leaving the top/bottom border. Then they just bold the text in the first column.


author: Patrick O_Connell
body: This isn't why I cam here, but I noticed this, so... (haven't we all been there? :-))

[@jprateragg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/676227), I've looked at the page you give as an example. I see nothing not possible with just the standard table stuff available in Confluence---at least, as we use it here at MindGeek.

We're on server 6.9.x here, and as far as I know we have no macros beyond the ones equipped with the Confluence installation.

Just to see, I just copied the table from that page into one of my scratch pages in Confluence. Everything came through.

Contributers Macro "watches" not working in 5.9.6
Asked by Chris Mitchell:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Contributors Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=183468956)*

Considering the subject header, is there any word on when this will be resolved? I purposely updated to the latest Confluence Server instance in the hope that this issue would be resolved....


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You've not explained what the actual problem is, so we can't tell you what may or may not have been "solved". (Bearing in mind that the macro seems fine in my 5.9, hence I've no way to guess what you might be seeing)

Is there a bug for it logged at jira.atlassian.com? A public support request? Or just an older question where you describe it?

comments: author: Chris Mitchell
body: Very good point: After adding 'watches' to the Contribution Type field, regardless of whether I explicitly state the page or space to watch, the statement "No contributors found for: watches on selected page(s)" always appears, regardless of the number of people watching the page.

Specific settings:

Contribution type:

watches

Sort By:

count

Display Format:

inline

All other settings are left as default.

There was a bug related to this issue, marked resolved: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-36476>


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, yes, that's not the way I was using it, but I get that too in 5.9 now I've tested the specific case.  

I think you've found exactly the right bug, which is reporting it "found in 5.7 -\> 5.8", and "fixed in 6.x". I think you've proved it is still there in 5.9 as well. I suspect we're stuck until 6 is available to us.


author: Chris Mitchell
body: It's too bad the update can't be released separate from the next Confluence update. This would make life (and updates!) more palatable.
