How do I make Knowledge base articles on my Service Desk available to Anonymous users
Asked by Monika Sharma:

I was trying to check knowledge base without signing on my service desk portal.

When I tried to give permission to view knowledge base for anonymous users, it gave me this error:

![2020-06-17_19-45-35.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99320i1B86E9F8690A2C91/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-06-17_19-45-35.png")

Can you suggest the next steps, please?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Monika,

Free plans have limitations and it looks like you found one. In order to change the permissions on your space you will need to upgrade your plan as the error states.

comments: author: Monika Sharma
body: Thank you for your response, Brant!

Can you tell me which plan I need to upgrade in order to make the articles available to anonymous users?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Any paid plan gives you this functionality. So you can get the standard plan at $10 a month and should be good to go.


author: Monika Sharma
body: On this article <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing>

I found that the standard plan has anonymous user access:![Confluence.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99563i1A531007367809D8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Confluence.png") Can you confirm what will be the price? (We are 3 users who have access to confluence)

And will the Anonymous users be also counted in the paid license?


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Anonymous gives anyone access to the page or space and is not included in the license count.

Email notification when mentionned
Asked by Karim JOURDAIN:

Hi,

I just would like to receive email notification when someone mention my name in a page. But I can't see this option in notification settings.

Is there a solution ?

Thanks a lot


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hi [@Karim JOURDAIN](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3971397) and welcome to Community!

You should receive an email notification by default when someone mentions you. Are you testing this by mentioning yourself? By default, Confluence does not notify you on your own actions, but you can change it in your profile settings.

How do I redistribute a deactivated user's rights?
Asked by Kresimir Tonkovic:

An employee has left our company and we've redistributed his duties to other people.

To be able to do this in Confluence, we'd ideally be able to see all the access rights the user has had over all spaces and pages and all teams he was a member of. Then we'd assign the same rights to the other users that inherited his duties.

Is there an admin page in Confluence similar to what I describe? If not, an API to generate a report like this (even using multiple invocations) would be useful - any advice on that?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Kresimir,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

You can add the new user to the same groups that the former employee was in, but if the former employee had more granular permissions, then you will need to add those separately.

API would be able to tell you the same as the UI; which groups the user was in, but the database would be more specific. I recommend having your site admin raise a ticket with [Cloud Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact), if they want to have us take a look at the database for them.

I hope that's clear, but do let me know if you have any questions about that.

Shannon

comments: author: Kresimir Tonkovic
body: Thanks Shannon, your answer does make it clear. I'll see with our site admin about raising a ticket.

Hopefully this question adds a useful use case that'd be worth implementing direct support for :-)

How to show Epic status in confluence.
Asked by Bogdan:

Hi all

Recently I\`ve set up confluence page and I\`m linking issues and epics to it just to track the progress and all changes that were made. I\`ve discovered that when I link the page I can see the status of the issues but I don\`t see the epic status.

![confluence.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99286iDDF8F10F3C9CDF11/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence.png")

Is there anything I can do in the Jira configuration or in the Confluence to change it? I would like to see status if linked Epics as they can be also in different statuses and we can have more than one linked to one page.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Bogdan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3658414) ! As I understand, you need to display the current status of your Jira Epics within the Jira Links "button" at the top of the page.

Currently, there is no setting for this to show there Confluence Side. Here is an excerpt from our documentation about the Jira Links button:

> **Move between Jira and Confluence**
>
> *Whenever you add a link to Jira issues in Confluence, or link to a Confluence page from your Jira application, the Jira Links button appears at the top of the Confluence page. This means you can quickly jump from Confluence to Jira and vice versa, speeding up your workflow.*
>
> *The number on the Jira Links button indicates the total number of issues, epics, and sprints connected to that page, regardless of whether you have permission to view them. The dropdown, however, will only show details of issues, epics, and sprints that you have Jira permissions to view.*
>
> *The button doesn't detect links from issues displayed in the Jira Issues macro in table format.*

Here is the full document:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Use Jira and Confluence together](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/use-jira-and-confluence-together/)***++

You should, however, be able to see the status of your Epics within the page itself.

They will show up like this:

**New Editor -- Fabric**
> ![Screen Shot 2020-06-22 at 14.33.09.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/100113i0E7A48F9F219ABEC/image-dimensions/214x159?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-06-22 at 14.33.09.png")

I hope this helps!

Is it possible to Integrate Confluence with Perforce (P4)
Asked by Mohan Sundar:

Dear All,

I have a requirement to Integrate Confluence with Perforce (P4).

I know currently it is possible to integrate Jira and Perforce <https://www.perforce.com/integrations/jira-and-perforce-integration>

But I couldn't find any possible solution for Confluence.

**Painpoints:**

As the reports are updated in the Perforce, which is useful, and there will be JIRA IDs in the reports.

Creating separate Confluence page every week for tracking would be cumbersome and to Keep tracking from Excel sheets is very much redundant.

**Solution:**

If we can get the Perforce and Confluence integration for such activities. So that there's a 2-way communication (Read and Write/Commit to P4) for such activities.

This would help us to track/work efficiently and productivity can be seen incremental.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions. Stay Safe.

Mohan Sundar J

Tables Use ASCII Sort Order
Asked by Jason Tolotta:

The sort mechanism of the table is using ASCII sort order.

<br />

This causes all the uppercase terms to be first before the lowercase terms, i.e. "FOO" will be ordered before "bar" when clicking the sort option "Sort column A to Z".


Answers:
author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: That's true. Also, it is not working correctly with umlaut characters. But if the table is wrapped with the [Table Filter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) macro, then sorting works correctly.

How to grant permission to Manage Watchers in Confluence
Asked by irma_boehringer:

I want to grant permission to an individual to Manage Watchers to his Space in Confluence. He cannot Add Watchers now.


Answers:
author: Brian Debler
body: I also do not see where one can enable permissions for "Manage Watchers". This is a useful feature to have for all users, not just admins.


author: Esther Strom
body: The user will need the space admin permission to manage watchers on pages in his space. If you are the Confluence site-admin, you can go to the space, then Space Settings. Click on the Permissions tab and the Edit Permissions button (there are two, one to add groups, one to add individuals.)

![2020-06-16 18_10_48-View Space Permissions - New User Onboarding - Confluence - Vivaldi.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99211i17ED958F0955ECC4/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-06-16 18_10_48-View Space Permissions - New User Onboarding - Confluence - Vivaldi.png")

comments: author: Scott Beeson
body: ... then what? I don't see anything that says anything about watchers.


author: Esther Strom
body: Once a user has the space admin permission for a given space, they can add watchers to individual pages. It's not a separate permission; you must be a space admin to be able to add watchers.

From the individual page watchers management, you can also add or remove watchers on the entire space the page lives in.

![2022-04-14 13_42_57-Locked out of Bitbucket_ - Atlassian Products - Confluence.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/193020i012451F450B204DC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2022-04-14 13_42_57-Locked out of Bitbucket_ - Atlassian Products - Confluence.png")


author: Brian Debler
body: It would be a lot nicer if this worked as it does in Jira, where it can be granted to anyone to have permission for modifying Watchers. I do not want to make people space admins just so they can assign watchers on documents.


author: Matthias Bergmann
body: This is ridiculous. Even as a Confluence-Adminstrator I cannot manage watchers?


author: Richard Holzer
body: Hi folks,

Can you please think this implementation over?

If i understood you correctly everyone who would like to manage watchers for his page(s) (talking about single pages now) has to become a space admin first. That's defenitely a No-Go in my opinion and not useful.

So, the minimum requirement should be to ..

\>grant the permission for managing watchers in the space settings on user or group level. As part of the current space permission page, similar to the other features.

Even smarter would be:

\>grant the permission for managing watchers for the authors's own pages in this space.

\>grant the permission for managing watchers for all pages in this space.

Link in the new editor now has an extra blue icon
Asked by Alan Laird:

Is there any way to fix this? I have many pages with links and any time links are added, the new links have a blue box next to them.

![Screen Shot 2020-06-16 at 11.20.35 AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99171i643432BC4E6BCED6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-06-16 at 11.20.35 AM.png")


Answers:
author: Sharon Helms
body: Hi [@Alan Laird](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/726373) ,

Another (slightly faster) way to remove the blue icons when you link to a page is to type **command + Z** right after you do so. (This works on a Mac, I'm not sure of the equivalent keystroke on a PC, but likely whatever you're used to using to "undo").

I hope this helps!

Sharon


author: Arthur Mack
body: [@Alan Laird](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/726373)

Yes but it takes one more step. Write some text and then link to the text and you will not get the blue icon anymore.

Expand macro: content indication when not expanded
Asked by Douglas Martin:

I have several expand macros on a page to help organize things but for us to see if there is content in each expand macro we have to go through and click on each one. Does anyone know a way to make it so: if there is content in an Expand Macro have the title of it be bold or change color or some way to indicate it has content?


Answers:
author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Douglas,

[Atlassian's documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-expand-macro/) states:
> **To edit an existing macro**
>
> Click the macro placeholder and choose **Edit**. A macro dialog window will open, where you can edit the parameters of the macro.

I don't use Cloud, but I take this to mean that you can click on the macro when editing a page and then selecting *Edit* will open a dialogue box where you can edit the Title of the macro. Cheers!

comments: author: Douglas Martin
body: Thanks for your suggestion Joshua. If was not quite what I was askinga. What I want is: if there is content in an Expand Macro then I would like to have some visual indication that it has content without having to expand it.


author: Joshua Sneed Contegix
body: Hi Douglas,

Alrighty then. I don't believe the Expand macro has that functionality out of the box. The workaround is to change the title to *Empty* or similar if you remove content from the macro. The macro isn't very smart and just expands/collapses. You might be able to use something like the [Spoiler Content](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218950/spoiler-content?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) plugin. Cheers!


author: Douglas Martin
body: Joshua, I supected that there was no funtionality out of the box as I did look carefully for any options that might achieve this. Dont really want to spend money on another plugin. I guess I will just intruct all my users to edit the title to indicate it has content.

Thanks for your consideration

Importing a Word document - Import Failed! Error Message due to image size
Asked by Christine_Sheeran:

I am uploading a Word document to my Confluence child page and got an error message that the document could not be imported. It states the document contains an image of size 7,924,700 x 772,160. This is definitely not the case. All images in the document are similar to those in other documents that have previously be loaded.

Do you know why I'm getting this error message?

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_
body: [@Christine_Sheeran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3954922)

Could the issue be the quality of the image? If the image is of very high quality, this might be causing some issues as the file could be significantly larger. Maybe try compressing the image in Word and slightly lower the image quality and see if this makes a difference?

comments: author: Christine_Sheeran
body: That's an interesting point. However, all images in the document are screenshots of the same platform and captured in the exact same way. And very similar in size. Something to review. Thanks.

I've loaded dozens of documents with no error messages so far. Hmmm.


author: Christine_Sheeran
body: I've compressed the images in Word and lowered the image quality. I also removed the images, saved them and added back to document. Still getting the same error message.


author: Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_
body: Hmm... Have your confluence admins changed the maximum attachment size? Maybe just try attaching a blank word document to see if it's actually to do with the size of the document, or if there's an issue with Confluence itself


author: Shannon S
body: Hi [@Christine_Sheeran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3954922)

Just to step in here, but the error message you're receiving could be a false clue.

If you speak with your Confluence admin as [@Callum Carlile _Automation Consultants_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2348878) suggested, and if they confirm that you should be able to attach the document, you can have them raise a ticket with [the Atlassian Support team](https://support.atlassian.com/contact). That way, we can inspect your site logs and determine what the cause may be.

Hopefully that helps you with the next step to take, but if you have any trouble, please let us know.

Take care, and have a pleasant weekend!
