How do I hide merged remote branches in Sourcetree?
Asked by Robin Kruijt:

Using Git-Flow you end up with a lot of feature branches. In order to have a better overview I'd like to hide the ones that are merged. Is this possible?


Answers:
author: izharaazmi
body: Usually, we close the head and delete the source feature brach after it is merged into the main repo/branch.

comments: author: Robin Kruijt
body: Won't you lose the feature branch name in your history that way?


author: izharaazmi
body: I believe the branch name is not that significant (however this is totally opinion based), only the commit is important and you are appropriately credited as the author of that commit post-merge in the main branch. Also the merge comment usually includes "merged some-repo/some-branch into main-repo/main-branch". I guess there is nothing to lose.What else do you think? Let me know if I am missing something!


author: Robin Kruijt
body: Commits are important, and you are indeed right about the commit message including the name of the branch. We however do like the labels that Sourcetree(and bitbucket) adds for clarity. We would be happier if we could hide, or sort them based on their "merged" / "not-merged" state.

SourceTree: History graph feature request
Asked by A.M.:

Hi all

I'm desperately looking for Git tool with a GUI which displays the GitFlow workflow correctly.  
All Tools (Windows) I know have dumb graphs. Your program has the best so far. One can select two options "Anchestor Order" and "Date Order".

If one works with the GitFlow workflow all samples on the web including yours

<https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/feature-branch-workflow>

display the master on top or on left/right side. Always. Then follows the release branch, then develop then features.  
But the TreeView in the GUI has the annoying "feature" that it shows the active one on the left side.The graph changes if one switches the branch. This may be useful for people with 100 branches. But not for GitFlow users.

I'm sure there are people out there which would like that. Of course, the tool is free. Well, you could start a Kickstarter project? I'm in the boat then.

What do you think?

Can I move from a local repo to github?

author: Silviu Burcea
body: Hi Daniel,

I'm guessing that you've started with an empty folder and git init. You can add a remote and start pushing your branches just like you had a remote since the beginning. You can find more details about adding a remote repository [here](http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Working-with-Remotes#Adding-Remote-Repositories), but it's as simple as:

```
git remote add &lt;repoName&gt; &lt;repoURL&gt;
```

Good luck!


author: Daniel
body: Hi guys,

Sorry about the late reply, Got busy with a large project. Thank-you for the directions, and it good to know that I can move to github later without losing all the history.

Can I install a Data Center app on Server?
Asked by Tim H_:

We are planning to migrate from Confluence Server to Data Center. However, that will take some months. In the meantime, I would really like to test a marketplace app, which is unfortunately only available as Data Center or Cloud. Is it possible to test the Data Center version on my Server instance?


Answers:
author: Rodrigo
body: Hello [@Tim H_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/519831),

It could be possible yes, depending on the app.

You could download the DC version of said app, and manually upload it and install it within your instance. Following by creating and applying a trial license (DC) as well, even if ure in server.

Best case scenario you might get it to work with only a "incorrect license" message, and worst case; it won't run.

But you could also contact the vendor directly, they probably have workarounds or could offer a demo :)

Hope this helps!  
Rodrigo

comments: author: Tim H_
body: I contacted the vendor and the DC app worked on Server! Thank you.


author: Rodrigo
body: Great! Glad that it helped and all the best!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Technically, yes, the apps are usually the same code for Server and DC.

But you will not be able to get lenses for server apps.

Detailed analytics of external Confluence page
Asked by Aleksandra Magott:

Hi Community,

We have an external Confluence page open to Customers - is there a way to get more detailed reports from Confluence about how many people and from which countries are visiting the page?

In the basic Analytics we have on every page, we can only see number of people visiting the page, but is there a way to see who these people are and from where?

Thanks!

Automatically delete historical versions of pages for Confluence Cloud or limit number of versoins
Asked by Alexandra KREBS:

Hi,

Automatically delete historical versions of pages and attached files is available in Confluence Data Center 7.16 and later.

How can we do this for Confluence Cloud ?

Or how can be limit the number of page versions so that we can only keep the X most recent versions; the oldest ones being automatically deleted

Many thanks


Answers:
author: Ivan Lima
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

It's not available in Cloud. There is a feature request <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-27701> that you can vote on and add yourself as a watcher to receive notifications. Alternatively, you can use marketplace apps to purge page versions or explore Confluence automation to help with archiving strategies.


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: With the Better Content Archiving app's [automation feature](https://www.midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/configure/automation-schemes) you can define a periodic job that executes according to your custom schedule, runs a CQL query and deletes (or archives) the resulted pages and blog posts. See the automation with the "delete" action in the bottom of this screenshot:

![configure-automation-scheme-cloud.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/274339i0AF0679C142A039F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "configure-automation-scheme-cloud.png")

Because the CQL language offers great flexibility, you can easily collect the "old" pages even if you have a very complicated definition of "old" based on view date, modification date, creation date, labels, etc.

Note that it will delete the *whole page*, not only versions, so this is not exactly what you described in the question, but it can even be better or complementary.

Here is a short video that shows how to use it with the "archive" action (which is essentially the same as "delete"): <http://youtu.be/IQpiB_PMB7k>

Just modify one image file
Asked by Caleb Xia:

When I modify an image file, other files with the same name will also be modified, but I only want to modify this one. How can I set it up?


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Caleb Xia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5288361) and welcome to Atlassian Community!

Your attached images on a Confluence page should each have a unique file name. You can modify the name by going into attachements for the page (you don't need to re-add them).

Once you have different file names for each image, modifying one won't impact the others.

How to retain data after migration if plugin is not available in cloud?
Asked by Sourav Mallick:

Suppose I have some plugins installed on server. In the cloud the plugin is not available. Will the Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant migrate the data?

Can you suggest me any way to preserve the data in this case and later restore it in cloud? If it is not preserved and restored, the entire data will be lost.

Confluence Cloud REST API not working. Trying to make a "new page" on my home page.
Asked by Lee Ainscough:

PAK works

curl -u 'lee_@blarblar.com:ATA_PAK_blar_blar' -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"type":"page","title":"FPGA Tree","space":{"key":"TREE"},"ancestors": \[ {"id": "1962_some_existing_page678on_home_page" }\],"body":{"storage":{"value":"\<p\>This is \<br/\> a new page\</p\>"}}}' --url '[https://blarblar.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content'](https://waterscorporation.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content%27)

This is as close to the non cloud, new page as a child of another examples. <https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/>

I get the following error.

Getting some sort of Authorization failure? But my PAK is working as the access time go's up when I use it. Error reported.

\* Connection #0 to host blarblar.atlassian.net left intact

{"statusCode":403,"data":{"authorized":false,"valid":true,"errors":\[\],"successful":false},"message":"com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.PermissionException: Could not create content with type page"}  

Think this means I'm not specifying my page correctly?

Docs say you just add an "ancestors": \[ {"id": "12345_page number" }\] to the page of interest.

Any help would be appreciated to get the basics working please.

Answers:

The reference you use for examples is for Confluence Server/DC, not cloud.

Cloud can be found here: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-post>

There error refers to the type page you want to create, this option does not exist in the cloud api anymore.

This is a deprecated option.

The link I added is the rest API v2.

I hope this helps you.

viewport url redirect macro - how to open attachment in new tab instead of auto download?
Asked by Deepak Chandrashekar Naik:

Hello Team,

As of now, i am using "viewport url redirect macro" in confluence for attachmnets, due to this when user click on this page in confluence viewport, attached file will directly downloaded in the user's system an for some users it does not.

How to avoid this download option and enable the attached file to open in next or new tab?


Answers:
author: Leo Collmann (K15t)
body: Hi Deepak,  

the way a file URL is being handled can depend on different factors, like browser settings, file type, file size and [Content-Disposition](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Disposition). Extensions like PDF readers might also change the standard behaviour. Since all browsers handle content differently, depending on the user setup, a file might open in a new tab or as a download. The macro itself doesn't include any suggestion for the browser how to deal with file URLs (whether to download or display them).  

Hope that clears it up a bit!

How to keep navigation within MS Teams when clicking on Confluence links?
Asked by Chandler:

I want to create a Knowledge Base for our MS Team and I thought Confluence would be the best, but am having this annoying issue. I think I successfully linked our Team with my Confluence account and I can add a tab showing the home page of our Knowledge Base. The problem is that as soon as I try to open any Knowledge Base article, it gets opened in my web browser instead of staying within Teams, asking me to login and so on, which is not what I want team members to have to be doing. Why is this happening? How to fix it so navigating within the Knowledge Base stays inside MS Teams?

Thanks

Update: Same thing happens in the MS Teams Android app... is this a Confluence issue or MS Teams issue?


Answers:
author: Alexander Siedler
body: I had the same issue and I just inserted the confluence page with the app "Website" inside of the teams and via this the user stays inside of the teams app when someone clicks on a link.  

Not the perfect solution but a workaround until maybe the confluence cloud app has improved.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Chandler](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5288170) Welcome to the Atlassian community

I think that the MS Teams integration only allows you to view the page in MS teams. Any links will take you to the application. I believe that is how it is setup to work.

The supported file types for Confluence Cloud can be found here:

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/upload-a-file/>

You stated that your hosting type is unknown. You can determine it by following these instructions:

**? Look at the URL.** {#toc-hId--439106258}
---------------------------------------------

If your Confluence URL is https://\<company\>.atlassian.net you are on Confluence **Cloud.**

If the URL does **++not++** have [atlassian.net](http://atlassian.net/) in it, then you are on **Server/Data Center**.

**? Look at the bottom of your Home.** {#toc-hId-2048406575}
-------------------------------------------------------------

Another way to check is when you are on your Home dashboard, scroll to the very bottom. if you see a version of the following text with a series of version numbers, you are **Server/Data Center.**

"Powered by Atlassian Confluence 7.16.0"
