Adding sections in a confluence document
Asked by Denis Oliveira:

Hi guys.

I'd like to add sections throughout my confluence document for exporting in pdf format without breaking images between pages.

I've taken a look into the help and have found that I'd need to use the Section Macro if I want to insert a more editable section than the standards layouts provided by the confluence.

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/171492i111147EDA8322E6C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

The issue with the standard layouts is that I only have the option of two or three columns and I need just one column

If someone could help me, I'd be thankful.

body: These are not "section macros", they're layout formatting, and they don't do sections really.

If you need a part of a page that's a full width (a single column), you just don't use a layout for it.

body: How can I add a section macro then? There is no such macro in the list of macros of my confluence


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no section macro on Cloud. It's been superceded by the layouts!

body: Hi [@Denis Oliveira](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3790585)

I have to admit that I don't have a direct solution to your question about the various columns.

However, you could give the [Scroll PDF Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/7019/scroll-pdf-exporter-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) a try. This has way more formatting options than the built-in Exporter. And they also add an [extra macro for keeping content together.](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-pdf-exporter/latest/cloud/keep-content-together-165944646.html)

Cheers,  
Matthias.

Very nice tip.

I'll try out the app and see how it works.

layout
Why is wiki markup in the page layout header not working?
Asked by Tom Seedorf:

I'm currently trying to get a header in my page layout to display an image that's left aligned. The image displays fine, but none of the attributes work. This is what I have:

![https://imagelink.png\|](https://imagelink.png|)align=left!

But the image simply stays in the center of the page.

Similarly:

![https://imagelink.png\|](https://imagelink.png|)title=my custom text!

Does not display the tooltip.

Same behavior in multiple browsers. Can anyone help?

body: Hello [@Tom Seedorf](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4655401),

Welcome to Atlassian Community! I hope you are doing well. My name is Shannon, and I'm happy to assist you. I understand you're not able to align or add a tool tip to your image in the Page Layout section in Look and Feel. I see you discovered the bug that is causing this problem:

* [CONFCLOUD-58472](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58472) *Allow Custom Header and Footer to align using Wiki Markup*

In addition, I could replicate the problem with the tooltip, and I reported a second bug below. I also found a similar bug in Confluence Server and have linked it to the below case:

* [CONFCLOUD-73264](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-73264) *Wiki markup hover Title not applied in Look and Feel*

Unfortunately, there's no known workaround at this time. My sincere apologies, since I know this isn't the answer you're hoping for. I hope we can see a resolution soon. Please visit the [Atlassian Cloud Bug Fix Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/atlassian-cloud-bug-fix-policy-206865884.html) to learn more about how we prioritize our bug fix efforts. If you haven't yet, I recommend checking the [Atlassian Marketplace apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) for potential workarounds.

Thank you again for reporting this.

Confluence Page not Updating with file edits
Asked by Amrit:

I have a confluence page that houses excel and word document files. When I click on the file from the page and it opens in Excel, I make the changes I need to the document, hit save and close out. However, the issue I am having is that the confluence page does not recognize the edits I made to the Excel sheet and will not update it on the confluence site, so I lost all of my work that I have just done. It has not done this before, this is a recent issue. I have tried different browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) and the same thing happens. I have also tried with word files and powerpoint files - the same thing happens, confluence does not recognize the edits

I tried to search in the community for something similar and could not find help.

Any ability to create automatic hyperlinks within Confluence?
Asked by Ariel H Goldman:

A while ago I read how Wikipedia wrote a script that crawls their millions of pages regularly and can automatically hyperlink the first instance of a word/phrase in one page to another page (say, the word "monkey" to the actual page on monkeys). They do this because, otherwise, it'd take an obscene amount of time and effort to manually link out the contents of each page one-by-one.

While the Confluence spaces I'm building out are in no way as comprehensive as Wikipedia, I'm wondering if anyone has ever designed a similar script/app that can do this in Confluence. It would seem to be a really useful addition.

Or, if not that, is there an app/script that can crawl all pages in a space and build a heatmap of commonly used words (excluding words like "its", "a", and other common things) so I'd better know if there's a specific term that I should consider making a page defining?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ariel,

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us on Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you.

I understand you need a script that can crawl your Confluence site and automatically create links to articles - much how Wikipedia does. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any [Marketplace apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) that could accomplish this, but you may be able to develop something internally.

You can refer to our[Atlassian Developer](https://developer.atlassian.com/) site, notably the [Building a Forge app](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/getting-started/) pages. If you have any trouble, ask the folks at [Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/), who are happy to answer development questions.

Take care, and I hope you have a nice day.

Out of the box you cannot do it.

You have to get a separate plugin in the marketplace. Search the forums and you will get lots of hits for recommendations. Example: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-perform-sum-calculation-in-a-confluence-table/qaq-p/872029>

How to get top contributors in a page using API?
Asked by BAVITHRA R:

I want to get the count top contributors using API and also I want created date and last updated date


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@BAVITHRA R](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4563016),

Good afternoon, and thank you for your question. I understand you need to get the top contributors of Confluence using API.

No single API endpoint can return that information, but the [Contributors macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-contributors-summary-macro/) in Confluence already displays this information. I assume you may be trying to replicate the macro functionality. Can you let us know what you're trying to do exactly?

I recommend turning to [the Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/) for this question; they have more knowledge surrounding development requests.

Take care, and I hope you have a nice day.

restrict the right to delete cards?
Asked by hannesblomar:

Hi!  
I user Trello for my business and work together with freelancers. So I need to invite them to existing boards.

Is there a possibility to give board members the right to create and move cards but exclude them from the right to delete a card or boards?

I want to make sure that no collaborator (accidently) deletes cards or boards in order secure the knowledge and processes of my business.

Thanks, Hannes


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@hannesblomar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3895667) nope, but you can restrict them to the ability to comment only, however in order to do this they have to be a member of your team, and if you want more than 10 boards per team you need to pay for business class.

Do I need to assign tasks to me on my personal Trello board or set some sort of default setting?
Asked by Jezz:

Hi all,

**Hope you're all safe and well wherever you are.**

I've just setup a Trello board to use to manage all my personal to dos and tasks etc and to organise my week and personal workflow. It's going great but I wondered why a notification I set for a due date didn't arrive and have realised the card it relates to wasn't assigned to me. As it's a personal board that only I use do I need to assign all the cards to me or just remember to assign cards that have due dates/reminders on to me? Is there any default board setting I can use to assign all cards to me or to assign all reminders etc to me.

Most of the cards don't have due dates but some will and I will want the reminders to pop up etc.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received :)

Jezz


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Jezz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3893005)

To get notifications such as due date reminders you would either need to watch the card or assign it to yourself. It unfortunately doesn't automatically send notifications out being your personal board. You may also want to check your notifications setting under your Trello profile just in case they are switched 'Never'.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Laura

Trello board not rendering on iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) but renders find on PC/MacBook
Asked by Lorenzo_Zenitsky:

Hello,

I'm in the process of developing my web portfolio and thought it would be neat to link a few of my Trello boards in a hobbies/interest page on my website. I used Trello's article on rendering their Board Tile Component from <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/guides/components/board-tile-component/> and after much struggle, got all three of my Trello boards to load successfully. However, when I got to my website using my iPhone or iPad, the Trello boards never load and I can not, for the life of me, figure out why. I have quite a few PCs and one MacBook and they all load fine there with little to no wait, it's only on iOS devices that it seems to never want to load.

```
boardTileJs.onload = function() { ... }
```

Using Google Chrome's dev tools for iOS devices, I found that the HTMLScriptElement never actually loads so the boards are never rendered. I've taken steps around this and provided a link to the same boards if and when they refuse to load, but I would really love to get to the bottom of this and see why these devices cause my website to not render my Trello boards.

Also, I was able to test it on an old Android mobile device, and the boards didn't load their either. So, I'm thinking it was something to do with phones and not browser-related.

Thank you in advance for any incoming clarifications and help!

restrict the view of a board
Asked by Sabine_Pagel:

We set up boards for different management levels. Now I need to restrict the view of the top level board for members that are not part of the top level management, but who are responsible for one specific card in the top level board. The goal is that this member of the card can only see this card in the board, not all the other cards.

How can I do this?


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Hi [@Sabine_Pagel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3881075) ,

You can't restrict access in a board to a single card. Either someone has access to a board, or not.

One workaround might be to copy the card or synchronize the card with another board through a power-up.

How to create a card inside a specific board from REST Api
Asked by Yaylitzis:

I am struggling about how can I create a new card inside a board in Trello. The [documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/#api-cards-post) simple says

    curl --request POST \  --url 'https://api.trello.com/1/cards?idList=5abbe4b7ddc1b351ef961414'

But I can't understand where I define in which board I want to create the new card, in which list? Also, where I enter the token, key values?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Gonchik Tsymzhitov
body: Hi!

So you provided a doc :)

[https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-cards-post](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/?_ga=2.185686048.869035836.1587886876-1177804729.1565426070#api-cards-post)

To **create a new card** , you'll want to make a **POST** request to: *++[https://api.trello.com/1/cards?key=\[APPKEY\]\&token=\[TOKEN](https://api.trello.com/1/cards?key=[APPKEY]&token=[TOKEN)++* *++\]++* . This endpoint is documented here: <https://developers.trello.com/advanced-reference/card#post-1-cards>.

As the documentation mentions, you'll want to make sure that your request's body contains an *idList* . This should be the ID of the list in which you want to create your new card. Additionally, you should have *write* permissions for the board that you are trying to add a card to. The easiest way to test this quickly (assuming you are using a token for your personal account) is to see whether you can add a card on the board via the web client.

Email Notifications and group deadlines across boards
Asked by david shaw:

Dear Community,

I am sure these questions have been raised in the past however I couldn't find anything in the guides:

1. Is there a way to an automatic email notification when someone has been added added to a card?

2. Is there a way to bring all the deadlines (or approaching deadlines) from all boards in a team to a central place or Trello board?

thanks

David


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@david shaw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879379) for project/deadline planning, check out Placker.

You can customise your email notifications more finely using Butler over and above Trello's standard email notifications (but only available on paid plans).


author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@david shaw](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879379)

Thanks for throwing these questions out there. For the first one, you may get a notification if you're watching the card and then someone is added on - though you'll also want to check that your notifications setting is not set to 'Never'. If this does not work then unfortunately at this time it is not possible.

As for your second point, it may be worth having a look at ['Boards connected and synced with Unito'](https://trello.com/power-ups/595e989fa8f137d2af456fd4/boards-connected-and-synced-with-unito) on the Trello Power-up marketplace. Or another way could be to set up a Trello board specifically for deadlines for your team and then have everyone duplicate their cards with deadlines over but the power-up above should make this easier for you I think.

I hope this helps!

All the best,

Laura

Trello won't let you leave a board if you're the only admin or member of that board.

Presumably, someone needs to be in control of the board. If this happens, and you still want to leave the board, you can make the user named 'trello' an admin of that board and then leave the board.

You can check out the steps to leave the board :
