How do I disable a link to a board that I sent to someone via email?
Asked by keith27:

I did this...

1. Created a new private board

2. Clicked "invite" on the menu

3. Clicked "invite people by sending them a link"

4. Copied the automatically generated link and sent it in an email

Unfortunately, I sent the link to the wrong person. Now I can't disable that link and I believe the unintended recipient still has access.

I did try to disable the link by clicking "invite", then "invite people by sending them a link", then choosing "disable link", but the link being disabled isn't the same one I sent originally. The original link still works


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Keith,

That "Disable link" link should definitely be working. In my testing just now, it successfully disables the previous link.

Did you perhaps originally send a link to join the *team* , and not a particular board? That link needs to be disabled from [https://trello.com/\[your-team-name\]/members](https://trello.com/[your-team-name]/members) instead of at the board level.

Does that sound like it might be a possibility?
Is there a way to hide the activity stream for non team members?
Asked by Craig B:

For example we are creating boards for each of our clients and want to provide them with observer access but we do not want to show them the activity across all boards via the settings menu....


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Craig,

There's not currently a way to disable the activity feed. Consider requesting a feature enhancement by emailing 'feature-ideas@trello.com'
I have Trello Gold for a month - then my Gold expires - do my new backgrounds disappear?
Asked by Penny Kibble:

has anyone created new backgrounds during their free Trello Gold month

and then not continued with paid Trello Gold - do you know if those backgrounds

remain safe for continuing with them? thanks!


Answers:
author: Devon Henderson
body: Hello, Penny!

When you go from Gold (or Business Class) to free, you will lose nothing. No power-ups will turn off, nor will your backgrounds revert! You'll just lose the ability to continue adding those Gold- or Business Class-specific features. Before your Gold runs out, I suggest you add any power-ups you think you may want later - you can always eventually turn them off, but enabling them now will let you continue to use them even when you switch back to a free user.

Hope this answers your question!

comments: author: Penny Kibble
body: thanks very much Devon

that was exactly what I was hoping to find out,

and good tips too

all the best!

Step through changes
Asked by Tova Bele:

I'm looking for a way to step through changes between versions.

Ideally the UX would allow me to:

- see PREV change

- see NEXT change

- display change number and total changes \[ 3 / 24 \]

thanks for reading.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: If you go to the page history, then select a particular version to view, the header box has previous, next, and the current change number in it. Going back to the version history, you can select versions and run a direct compare on them.

comments: author: Tova Bele
body: the described functionality steps between versions, not changes. One version can have multiple changes.

'run a direct compare' colors the changes, but doesn't allow stepping through them. Users need to search for the changes manually.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ah, I see, I did not understand that at first.

Yes, that would be a nice function to have in the diff screens.

How Do You Match A Term Exactly When Filtering Page Properties Report?
Asked by James Tweedie-Long NEW:

I'm trying to filter a page properties report to a single item based on it's title, but it seems like the title filter is looking for any of the words in the filter, rather than looking for pages whose title exactly matches the search term.

So when I put "IT Portal" in the title filter, it returns the IT Portal page, but also Erwin Web Portal.

I've tried putting double or single quotes around the term, but that has no effect.


Answers:

Also, if you pair it with Announcement Feeds app developed by CoreSoft Labs, you can define a newsfeed which will display all the new material to the new employers via link in Jira.

Space Restrictions
Asked by Owen Hile:

Space restrictions doesn't work, I've already tried the steps below but the account can still see other spaces.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-grant-access-to-one-space-only-to-a-user-in-confluence-815244321.html>


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You will need to go into a bit more detail about this one.

Confluence does not have "space restrictions". At a space level, it implements permissive rights - if you want to let someone do something in the space (including just view), they you have to grant the user or a group that they are in, the right to do so.

Confluence does have page restrictions, but I don't think this is what you are worried about.

For the space level stuff, look at the permissions set for each space. I suspect you have probably got a system where you've used the "can log in" group as a default space permission that also gives "can see space". So when you add a user, they get access to a load of spaces because you have added them to the "can log in group"


author: Fadoua
body: [@Owen Hile](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1528278)

Are you sure you didn't miss any step?

Did you remove the user from the confluence-users group? That's the most important step

SideBar - Missing Features
Asked by Jack:

I am currently reviewing the Cloud version of Confluence against the Server release in attempt to re-create a page from server on cloud. I am running into issues.

**Space Sidebar**   
I am not able to modify the sidebar on cloud. I have no idea if this was removed, never thought of, or moved.  

On Server, you have the ability to add custom content to the Sidebar. This has been a great feature for customizing a homepage.  

![confl - Server.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/128188i564822B0FA49F7B8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confl - Server.jpg")

On cloud, the ability to customize a sidebar does not appear to be available and is a huge omission. Looking under Look and Feel, Sidebar is missing as shown below.  

![Confl - Cloud.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/128189iEC6B7DC00DFEC252/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confl - Cloud.jpg")

So my question is... *Is this ability to customize the sidebar no longer available or has is been moved elsewhere? By chance, is there a plugin that is turned off by default?*   

To make a custom homepage handling multiple spaces, this is a critical need.

Thank You in advance!

Jack

There are so many differences between Server and Cloud versions. Please don't try to give yourself extra work. Try to go through Cloud documentation to get more familiar with its features.

There are lot features in Server not available in Cloud, and vice versa.

All the best

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: To support this, I wanted to add that Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud are simply not the same product any more, they branched years ago.

Configuring the side bar is something the product owners for Cloud did not pick up as useful for the target audiences, unlike the Server product owners.

I would tend not to try to equate them any more beyond them having broadly compatible data.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

author: Echevarria, Christian

What resulted in the site loading in the browser was a manual run of the server.bat file, despite the windows service running. We are seeking clarity from Atlassian as to why this was required. If you have any thoughts on this, it would be helpful as well.
