Anyone know the best route to report on page last viewed date?
Asked by Rue Michael:

We migrating from on-prem to cloud and would like to avoid pages not viewed in the last year.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Rue,

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

I would recommend running a database query to obtain those page lists:

* [How can I find which pages users have recently viewed?](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-can-i-find-which-pages-users-have-recently-viewed-954251927.html)

You can either remove those pages, or move them to an archived space. See [Archiving Content](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeval/confluence-evaluator-resources/confluence-archiving-content) for more information.

You might be able to use an add-on to make this easier, such as [Better Content Archiving for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

Page Index macro throws error "too many pages"
Asked by Kevin Stanton:

I just created a brand new page with only 1 child page, and yet when I try to add the Page Index Macro, it errors with:

"Too many pages The page index macro can display a maximum of 500 pages."

What on earth could be causing this?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@Kevin Stanton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1287961) !

As I understand, the ++*Page Index macro is not loading the pages within your space*++ . This happens because the Page Index ++*shows all pages within the current space*++.

Here is an excerpt from the macro documentation page:
> *The Page Index macro creates a hyperlinked alphabetical index of all page titles within the current space.*

And here we can see a similar description on the macro settings screen:
> ![Anota??o 2019-11-19 120254.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/73378i45EE7ECD7DC8FC09/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Anota??o 2019-11-19 120254.jpg")

That being said, this error will be thrown when ++*your space has more than 500 pages*++. The macro does not work with spaces with more than 500 pages. Here is the macro documentation page:
> * **++[\[Confluence Cloud\] Page Index Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/page-index-macro-724765237.html)++**

Hope this answers your question, Kevin!

How to create an image map

Answers:

Unfortunately this is not offered by Confluence itself, you will have to use an App like [Scroll ImageMap for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/253/scroll-imagemap-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

Kind Regards

Thanks for your recommendation.

It is very interesting, for something that I can do with 3 lines of code in HTML one has to subscribe for a service.

Is there no way to add HTML code? I can easily do this in SharePoint.

Best Regards,  
Saeed.


author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi [@Saeed Hessami](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2651113),

Yes, it is possible. You can use HTML macro (see picture), but unfortunately it is not possible in Confluence Cloud (only in Confluence Server) - HTML function in Cloud is disabled by default, because it can break Confluence, see [HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/HTML-Macro-for-Confluence-Cloud/qaq-p/104061). To run HTML macros you need to install plugin [HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212279/html-macro-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

how to Create Space?
Asked by Yi Tian:

Any privilege required to create Space? I don't see Create Space option under Space Header.

By clicking the Space droplist, there are only recent Spaces and Space Directory available. I can not find 'Create Space' option there. Do I have to obtain some privilege first? Any pointers? THanks


Answers:
author: Chelsie Luis
body: Hi Yi!

To create spaces, such as a **team** or **project** space, you need the 'Create Space' global permission. To create a **personal** space, you need the 'Personal Space' global permission.  

If you do have the required permissions, the Spaces dropdown would show the *Create Space* option as shown below:

![0d2052215ae138d205f1e58ac13c18d6.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/73085i075B34584607ADF0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "0d2052215ae138d205f1e58ac13c18d6.png")

If you don't see this option, we recommend contacting your Confluence administrator so they can confirm that you have the 'Personal Space' or 'Create Space' global permissions enabled.

How do I link to an existing attachment in the new editor?
Asked by Mark Stramaglia:

In the new Confluence editor, when I click the button in the toolbar to add a link to a file or attachment in the new editor, it only shows me recent files. It doesn't allow me to choose from files previously attached to the page if they aren't in my recent list.

Is there something easy I'm missing? How can I add a link to my Confluence page to an existing attachment?


Answers:
author: Dara
body: I always grab the hyperlink from the item I want to link to and paste it in when creating a link. You should be able to do that for attached files too, I believe.

comments: author: Camouflage
body: This is another backward step. What if you have multiple links? Are you going to go back and forward from edit mode to the attachments page and copy each link one by one? This would require multiple publishes. Filenames saved on the attachments page DO NOT APPEAR in the list when using the Link button!


author: kristian.whittick
body: [@Camouflage](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4354835) - Open 2 tabs at the same time, 1 with attachments and the other on the page, then when you edit the page you can copy from the other tab.

How do I create a linked image on confluence?
Asked by Cindy Chan:

Hi,

Previously we had opportunity to use the legacy editor and found inserting a link to the image really helpful when using our collaborator's Confluence cloud. We are moving towards our own Confluence cloud, and currently we're in the process of working out the details, and the design of our pages. Found that the image link option is no longer available for the new Confluence. Is there any option to create a links using image instead of text to other pages in the same site?

Thanks!


Answers:

Enterprise Release
Asked by Kevin Hopper:

Can anyone provide me with an estimated date for the next Confluence enterprise release. Hopefully it is a 7.0 release. We upgraded to 7.0 when the last security issue was presented and now have a few unsupported, broken add-ons.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kevin,

Thank you for contacting us about this. I don't have any information on this yet, but according to the past schedule, there should be another release within the upcoming months.

Back in April, we replied on the thread [Introducing Enterprise releases for Jira Software and Confluence](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Data-Center-articles/Introducing-Enterprise-releases-for-Jira-Software-and-Confluence/ba-p/698707) regarding a similar question.
> The Confluence team plans to follow the same \~12 month cadence between Enterprise release (Confluence 6.13 was released in December 2018), so you can expect to see an update about the next Confluence Enterprise release later in 2019.

I expect that it should be soon, but keep an eye on our public pages for more information.

[Atlassian Enterprise Releases](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/atlassian-enterprise-releases-948227420.html) will include information about the latest Confluence Enterprise release when it is available, but please also watch the [Confluence Release Notes](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html).

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

> At the time we ship a feature release, we'll announce if it will be designated as an Enterprise release later on (specifically, in an upcoming bug fix release). This will enable you to start forming an upgrade plan ahead of time.

I will not have any information regarding the Enterprise release before that time.

Thank you for your understanding!

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Kevin,

My apologies to you, the Confluence Enterprise release was running behind schedule, so there was actually an announcement on Community this time instead, and not on the Enterprise release page, where you can normally expect those updates.

I myself didn't see this until the other day, but I wanted to share it with you now in case you have yet to see it:

* [Announcing Confluence 7.4 as the next Enterprise release](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Announcing-Confluence-7-4-as-the-next-Enterprise-release/ba-p/1247021)

Change default storage location for documents
Asked by Aaron Myers:

I wanted to know if there was a way to change the default attachment storage options for Confluence. We have a lot of free space on SharePoint and would just as soon setup a default location there to put attachments than filling up our server with stuff. Is there a way to either disable the default attachment upload (would replace with a SharePoint plugin) or a way to redirect it?

Thanks,  
Aaron


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Aaron,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

You can [change the attachment storage location](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-relocate-the-attachments-storage-directory-318668908.html) in Confluence. I'm not sure if this would work with Sharepoint specifically, but that is where you'd change the location once the attachment folder has been migrated.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Unwanted Access to Confluence
Asked by Siddhesh Parab:

I am JIRA administrator, however, I have not given access to my consultants to Confluence. However, since a couple of days, whenever, they log in to JIRA get I receive an Email as

Why is this happening, when I am not giving them access to JIRA


Answers:

You'll need to check your [default product access settings](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/update-product-access-settings-744721629.html) and see if new users are being granted Confluence access by default.

You might also be adding the users to a group that automatically has Confluence access, so please check that to be sure.

If you have any trouble, can you share with us a screenshot of your Confluence Global permissions as well as your product access settings?

How can I expose just 1 page in a Space to a user or user group?
Asked by Jerry Harris:

I have a space in which I want to permit a group access to a few pages. Not the whole space, just a few pages. I've tried the following:   
\* Use page restrictions to grant access to the page for the group  
\>\> Doesn't work w/o setting some space permissions.

\* I tried granting the group space permissions to add comments only, but Confluence quietly ignores my attempts to save this and will delete the group entry if I don't have "View All" permission selected.   
\>\> Requiring View All defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to accomplish.   

I've had to create a separate space.

Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible? It seems that Confluence requires View All selected.


Answers:
author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: Jerry,

A couple questions in order to provide a knowledgeable response:

* Are the people you want to share the pages with internal users on your Confluence system?
* Does it matter if the viewers of the pages you want to share can see the space Home page?

The answer at best will not be pretty, as it will involve setting a lot of restrictions that will be hard to manage later. At worst, the separate space idea will be your best solution.

Darryl

body: It seems this is a duplicate of <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-make-public-just-a-single-page-from-private-space/qaq-p/758658>.

I suspect this wouldn't work in my case since I would need to make all top-level pages restricted. I'm not sure if Confluence would honor making "public" one page at a lower level in the space's page hierarchy.

Linking to a file inside Page Properties Macro
Asked by Cam Campbell:

Is there a way, using the new editor. A way of linking to a document that has already been uploaded?


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Cam,

If I understand your question, you want to use the page properties macro to include a link to a previously attached item. With this said, I can confirm you're able to include a link to an attached file within the macro.

1. You will need to first get the link to the attachment by clicking the meatball menu on the page the file is attached to and select "Attachments."
2. From there, you should see a list of all attached items, right-click on view for the attachment in question and select "Copy Link Address."
3. Once you have the link, page it into the macro and edit the link removing the trailing version info, so you're able to link to the most recent version. Here is an example
   1. Before
      1.

         ```
         https://DOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/1234567890/PICTURE.jpg?version=1
         ```

   2. After
      1.

         ```
         https://DOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/1234567890/PICTURE.jpg
         ```

Please let us know if this helps in including a link within the page properties macro.

Action list with all actions from meeting notes
Asked by Christoffer Groppfeldt:

How do I put together an Action List with all of the action items from my daily meeting notes?  
Want to create a nice overview with all action points together.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Christoffer and welcome to the Community!

From what it sounds like, you're asking about tasks created within your meeting notes and you're looking for a way to easily see all of your assigned tasks. With this said, you'll most likely be able to see all of your tasks from your profile which will gather all tasks which have @mention your name next to them. Here is further information on this:

1. Within Confluence Cloud click on your avatar in the bottom left and select tasks
2. This will list all tasks which you are @mentioned within

Additionally, you may also see the Task Report Macro. Further information on this may be found at [Task Report Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/task-report-macro-724765319.html).

Please let us know if this helps in creating the action list you're looking for.

Or is it listed as 'not compatible' because it hasn't been tested yet ?
