Is it possible to create a table with dynamic dates?
Asked by Rob Horan:

Lets say I want to put together a project plan in Confluence. I create a table with star and end date columns and add a bunch of milestones.

I need the ability to change the date in one place and have that change cascade downstream, dynamically updating any dates that depend on that one.

The date macro is nice but static.

We can suggest trying our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) app and its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro.

[Here is a recent Community thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Ho-do-I-calculate-date-plus-days-without-weekends-in-Table/qaq-p/1562965) where I show how to automatically calculate End Dates based on Start Dates and exclude holidays.

Hope this may help your case.

body: Hi there,

As this question mentions our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community) app, we are happy to introduce its new macro -- [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro?utm_source=atl_community).

The macro allows you to work with fully functional Excel spreadsheets right in Confluence.

You'll be able to use cells' formulas, filters, conditional formatting, etc., create pivot tables and charts from the page view\&edit mode.

The Table Spreadsheet macro is available for Cloud and Server/Data Center.

Linking from Confluence to a document
Asked by Gordon Brown:

Hi there!

I've been trying to link to documents using the latest Confluence interface, and all I can seem to do is add a copy of the document with a large preview of each document on the page. It works, but was more elegant (if more drab) in previous versions, where you could type the document name, select it, click the link icon and upload the document to be linked as hypertext. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Gordon

For Images, you can still do it

For documents in the new editor, we cannot name the attachment, comment on the document, or even hyperlink it.

Here's the full doc on the new editor

Project portfolio management in Confluence?

Microsoft OneDrive for Business displays a Spreadsheet in edit, but when Published only shows a link
Asked by Chris Rose:

Hi all,

Bit of an odd one. If I go to embed an excel sheet into a page, the preview will work just fine, and shows up just as expected in the editor, but as soon as I publish the page, it will on its first load up, look like it's trying to display the file, but then the viewer vanishes and all I get is the file link in it's place.

Reloading the page doesn't even show the view panel then too.

Any advice would be appreciated.


Answers:
author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Chris Rose](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4462798)

Are you using any add-ons macro to display the Excel using Link?

Maybe the view permission of the other application must be set to anyone or restrict it to only with links!!

If you are referring to smart links, here is the reference on how it works

comments: author: Chris Rose
body: Hi Pramodh.  

I have the Onedrive Business for Confluence app installed, which I assumed would cover the issue: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221882/microsoft-onedrive-for-business?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221882/microsoft-onedrive-for-business?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

I'm less looking at smart link cards, and more want the file itself to embed into place. Google Drive seems to work, its just trying to embed via a company sharepoint that seems to not work.

1. **no. of Spaces** can be found in system Info. You need confluence Admin permission

3. **Add-ons** can be listed in Manage apps sections (\<baseURL\>/plugins/servlet/upm)
4. **macro usages** in \<baseURL\>/admin/pluginusage.action
5. Size of spaces, I could not find any solution till now. This KB calculates the size of attachments only for each space as it contributes to the majority of the disk space a Confluence's space consumes. **This doesn't include the contents of the space** .

Asked by Katrin:

When creating a space for FAQ with ready only access rights for customers they are still able to hit the add / + icon suggesting they might create an article but then get the notification "We can't create apge for you.

thank you very much for the answer, but from the documentation, the solution only works for Consfluence server or data center while we are using the Cloud version...

Is there any solution for Cloud version, too?


author: Rilwan Ahmed

Confluence Latex: how to install extra packages?
Asked by Shuo MI:

Hi everyone,

I am new to Confluence, and I write a lot math equations using the Latex Math plugin on my Confluence page. So far everything works well.

However, I would like to use some extra Latex packages, and environment such as **figure** environment, and packages such as **tikzpicture**just to make some pictures, and realise more fancy functions. However I can't find a good way to install it?

Is there a way to add**Latex preamble**to clarify the packages that I want to use, just like in the common Latex editors? Or can I edit the MathJax or JSON environment in order to install/realise some Latex packages and environment?

Thanks


Answers:

If you have difficulties in using LaTeX grammar, I would recommend our app, LaTeX EASY math equation for Confluence.

[LaTeX EASY math equation for Confluence \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224024/latex-easy-math-equation-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

You can choose inline/ block mode when you add LaTeX. As well as, it provides real time preview and selectable formula entry UI so you can easily add and edit formulas.

Attachments
Asked by OT:

I want to ask you the user questions regarding Confluence attachment part.

In attachment macro or in a different macro is it possible;

\*to select only browse for file option from drag and drop and browse for files options or is there any other option for automatic labelling

(We don't want the users label their attachment themselves we want to use automatic labelling, automatic labeling works when you upload from the "browse for files" button not at the "drag and drop" place.)

\*In addition to labelling is there an option to put a short description on the attachments and making the description and/or labelling mandatory

\*For the big number of attachments is it possible to put scroll inside the attachment list part (I used anchor want to check this option as well)

\*To put drag drop box above the attachment list

Does Confluence allows people with viewing access only to submit any edit/change request? S
Asked by Nidhi Sharma:

So the request can be approved by the page admin just like GitBook. OR is there any other way for viewers to suggest changes to a page? I know there are inline comments but that's not an efficient way.


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Nidhi Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4446005) ,

if user has just view permission, user can suggest page updates through inline comments or comments by builtin feature.

My suggestion is to try the following plugin [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222276/workflows-for-confluence?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222276/workflows-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud) that allows you to put in place a workflow with approvals for your pages.

Hope this helps,

Fabio


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Nidhi Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4446005)

Change the page restrictions to view only, that should make the restricted users just view the page or both view and edit the page!! and online comments is the only way to manage the suggestions if you are not using any add-ons

Another method: For managing the reviews here's a good plugin you have can to build workflow

Displaying archived cards in Calendar view
Asked by Jean-Christophe Carette:

Hi,

Does anyone know how archived cards could possibly viewed in calendar view?

One of my Trello board is for personal productivity. I am using the great template made by Justin Gallagher. The thing that would really be great would be to be able to view archived cards in the calendar view. This way one can look at completed cards over the past month or so even if completed cards have been archived at the end of each week.


Answers:
author: Jenn Stewart
body: I had to create a Board called completed. I created automation so that once a card is checked as completed it is moved to this board. It keeps everything in the calendar, but also allows me to have cleaner Boards with only outstanding items on them. Not ideal, but it's a work around that works for me right now.


author: Tasha
body: Hi Jean-Christophe,

Currently, when a card is archived, there isn't a way to surface it within the calendar view. On the flip side, a card cannot be *un*archived and still hidden from view on the board.

Archived cards from a board can be viewed together in the Archive section of the board Menu. On the board, click **Menu** \> **Archived Items**to view the archived cards.

If you're looking for additional reporting for completed tasks/cards, you may want to check out our reports with Butler. [Creating reports with Butler](https://help.trello.com/article/1192-creating-reports-with-butler)

I hope this helps!

comments: author: Richard Klein
body: This is one of the first features I looked for when learning how to use the calendar for my purposes. I too thought of archiving at the end of the week to keep the lists tidy, but didn't want to lose the work on the calendar itself.

What's the point of a calendar if you can't look back at work completed?

Really something Trello should think about.

Thanks!


author: Simer Anand

Anyone with a Business plan sandbox where I can be invited as an observer?
Asked by milynnus:

Here's my request :

1. A business plan sandbox where I can be invited as an observer
2. Where I am allowed to do the following. I am aware that none of these can be done under Observer status on the board itself so testing might be very short:
   * create a card
   * move the card
   * update some fields on the card
   * attach something
   * delete the card
3. Testing will take less than a day.
