How do you delete an entire page and all children?
Asked by SiDawg:

I'm sure there's a way to do this but can't see how? Have reviewed multiple previous posts but they're either out of date or requite plugins. I'm assuming this is a VERY common task?

I'm testing the creation of thousands of pages and need to delete them again so I can recreate them later.

I've tried using the API to delete them but i get "invalid request" response: GET page works fine, but not DELETE page API... there's almost nothing to the request data so can't see why it would be malformed


Answers:
author: SiDawg
body: Found simple fix for delete page API (change type to "DELETE" rather than "DEL")  

Still curious if there's an easy way to do this? Having to write code to use "get pages for space", iterate through multiple cursors, list all the data in a way that's then easy to feed to "delete" api... bit of a headache!


author: David Bakkers
body: *"there's almost nothing to the request data so can't see why it would be malformed"*

Well, since you didn't provide an example of the 'request data' you're sending to that endpoint, or even advised which 'delete page' endpoint you're referring to, I guess there's no way of knowing.

Do we have the ability to add workbooks to a page?
Asked by Berokoff, Katherine:

I believe I saw an announcement within Confluence, that users can now add a workbook into a page. I haven't been able to find how to do it, or anymore information on the subject. Am I remembering that incorrectly?


Answers:

body: I found it! The option shows up after a page is published. I was looking to insert the spreadsheet before the page was published, which is why I wasn't finding it.

Is is possible to use an existing Canva account to link to the Canva + Confluence embed?
Asked by Ashleigh Schwochow:

I'd like to use the Canva + Confluence embed app and it's asking me to request my administrator's permission, as it's a paid app. I currently already have a paid Canva Pro subscription directly through Canva. Is it possible for me to access my existing account with Canva through Confluence so I can 1) access all of my existing content and 2) not have to pay again?


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@Ashleigh Schwochow](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5219804) ,

The Canva+ Confluence app is from neither Canva nor Atlassian. It is from another developer. This app needs to be bought if you want to connect Confluence to Canva (and yes, you also need a Canva account).

So basically you would pay for the connection between Confluence and Canva.

Confluence Cloud - Send Notifications
Asked by Matheus Fran?a:

I am responsible for a certain Confluence workspace and when I edited a document an email was sent to a user who does not have access to the space , only has a Confluence license and is in the default group, I did not find any adjustments relating to warnings or related settings for Confluence Cloud for this issue.


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hello [@Matheus Fran?a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3546345)

Did the page you edit happen to have an @ mention for the person or maybe a team they are on? This could trigger the email. You can also look at the list of watchers for the page to see if the user was added somehow.

comments: author: Matheus Fran?a
body: Laura, Thanks for the feedback.

But we don't mention the username on the page, it's just in the Confluence licensed user pool.

URGENT: Cannot backup any data!!!
Asked by Karl Feghali:

Hello,

I'm getting this error message below when I try to create a backup on confluence cloud. This is such a disaster knowing that I have critically important data that should be backed up on a regular basis. Worst of all, I just found out that Confluence doesn't have any kind of support for Confluence Cloud free users. What good is it to ask the community if they can't do anything about it since its a fckng bug!!!

I wonder what they say **"But don't worry, well fix it for you!"** when they don't have a basic customer support service in the first place! They also mistyped **we'll** fix it with **well**if you notice!

We apologize for the inconvenience!

We had an incident yesterday affecting the site exports, which impacted Cloud site backups.   

It was already fixed and you should be able to start a new site backup today.

If you need any additional help and are not able to trigger any site backups yet, feel free to share any errors with us here, and we will try to help you in the best way possible.

To set the right expectations about the Support, indeed, there is no technical support included in the free plan and storage is also limited, among other features.  
However, if you are in need of support after posting your question here in the community, this can be further escalated to Atlassian Support's visibility, as it happened to this community post we're talking about right now, and take the best course of action to help in the best way we can. :)   

Hope this also helps. If any additional help is needed with your backup, please let us know.

Cheers,

Issue accessing Confluence page in Microsoft Teams
Asked by Sarah Green:

I've set up the Confluence Cloud app in a Microsoft Teams channel, and I've added a page as a tab in Teams. However, when I go to access the page, I get this message: "You've stumbled on a restricted space"

Performance Improvement Tips for Confluence Pages
Asked by Scott Gillespie:

What are some tips/best practices for Confluence page design regarding macro use? I have read various posts and articles about varying performance with Confluence, but can find none that provide a simple list of functions and how they impact performance.

For example, when is it better to use Table Excerpt vs. Page Properties. Is there are best order for embedding macros? Are certain SQL functions in Table Transformer more process intensive than others?

I realize that overall page content needs and information objectives may not allow ideal arrangements, but knowing this information may help inform design decisions.

Thanks in advance for suggestions or pointers to documents I have missed.


Answers:
author: Dam
body: Hi [@Scott Gillespie](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5118135)

Globally I would say that the more macros you have on a page, the most time it will take for the page to be rendered and displayed, so the lighter the better... If a page contains a lot of macros, embed one to each others severals times, etc... the page will take more time to load and display for sure.

There are some perf report to compare server vs datacenter versions, but they are not dealing with the complexity of the contents but only with the amount of spaces, pages and data: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-data-center-performance-790795852.html>

If you want to measure on your instance what is causing a lot of time to display for some pages or contents, you can setup a monitoring tool using JMX and study properties mentioned in this page to help you understand, for your usecase or usage, what is causing low performance: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/app-metrics-reference-1115674758.html>

\> but can find none that provide a simple list of functions and how they impact performance.

as far as I know there is no doc like that...

I hope this help a bit ;)

@mention restricted page
Asked by Grace Li:

Hi,

After publishing the page, I first set the page as restricted. If I later unrestrict the page, do all @mentioned users get notified?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Grace Li](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5219438) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Users that are @ mentioned on a page will only be notified when you initially publish the page, but subsequent changes to the page content or permissions (in your case, unrestricting the page) will not notify them of the change. In this case, since the users are restricted when you first publish, they won't be notified of the page.

You share the page with them when you un-restrict it if you want them to be notified of the page, but other than that, the page will remain unknown to them unless you manually inform them of its presence.

Hope this helps!

same png-filenames on one page
Asked by Marius Rees:

Hello,

on my confluence page I summarize the results of multiple simulation runs (in total 20). These results are summarized in pictures (.png), so each picture looks a little bit different. Let's say picture 1 is called "result_1.png", which is named exactly the same and available for each of the 20 simulation runs.

So when I drag for example this "result_1.png" of all 20 simulations on one confluence page, at the end it only shows one picture for all 20, although 20 different should be displayed. This is probably because Confluence only takes one of the pictures as they are all named in the same way.

Rename all the pictures will take too much time, especially manually.. therefore I wanted to ask if there is a better solution?


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

Confluence treats the file name as the unique identifier for it, so when you upload several files with the same name, it treats each one as a version of the same file.

You will need to rename the files if you want to attach them as different files rather than versions.

Populate checklists with X number of checkitems based on card description
Asked by axx30711435:

Is it possible to create an automation that generates X checklist items in a card based on something in the card title or description, for example?

If the description specified "12 times", could I automatically generate a 12 item long checklist, and so on for any given number?


Answers:
author: Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows
body: Hi [@axx30711435](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5003723) ! Welcome to the community :) it is definitely possible to automate checklist creation based on different triggers ("*when the of a card description contains*" is one of them). What would the actual checklist items be?

One way to approach it would be to create templated checklists in a separate card. So let's say you have a card called "Template" and in that card, you have different checklists with titles "1", "2", "3", "4", and so on. Each checklist would contain your checklist items. When a description contains "4 times", it will pull through the "4" checklist with your pre-defined checklist items.   

Here's an example of how it could look using [wildcards](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/pattern-matching-and-wildcards/):  

```
when the description of a card contains "{*} times", add the "{wildcard1}" checklist from card "Template" to the card
```

comments: author: axx30711435
body: hi Hannah, thanks for the reply! I am looking to do something like this:

create a card with a description containing something along the lines of *Inspect X number of sections* which would trigger a checklist to be created with X number of items, like

* "Inspect section 2"
* ...
* "Inspect section X"
```

and so on

Would this be possible without having a predefined checklist for every possible amount?

Rafael here from Trello Support, I hope you're doing okay!

Our pattern of invites is actually based on **email or username** as is detailed here - <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/adding-people-to-a-board/>

When you just type a name on the invite, Trello basically looks for other Atlassian accounts with a closer name to the one you are looking for, which is not recommended.

If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to contact us again.
