Unable to add single section and move sections in new design?
Asked by Christan Fergus:

In the "old" confluence I was able to add a section, then had the ability to move it up or down in the document. It appears this functionality has been removed, unless I'm just not seeing it. I see you can add new sections if you want columns, but I need the ability to add a single width section and then move it if I need. My use case is that I have very distinct sections in my documents, often with tables, lucid charts embeds, etc. Now it is extremely difficult to move sections around if I need to. In the old system, I could just move the section up or down to where it needed to go.

Single sections are not necessary in the new cloud editor, since you can also create content outside of the sections.

I also miss the move function or is it well hidden? :(  
It is annoying that you cannot move an entire section.

comments: author: bstyler
body: I have that ability but we are server-based.

The Cloud Editor works somewhat differently than the editor of the server version.


author: Christan Fergus
body: [@repi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/302600) thanks for responding! I do understand that you can create content outside a section. The problem is you now are not able to move blocks of content up or down in the doc (for purposes of document clarity, etc.)   

Unfortunately, this is part of a trend I've noticed in the UI that "assumes" you know exactly how the document is going to be formed when you put pen to paper. It also doesn't lend itself well to "living" docs that will grow and modify as time goes on. By not allowing sections to be rearranged, or even table columns to be moved, copied, etc., it is severely limiting the usability of the document itself. The challenge for me is that we *did* have this functionality at one time, and it has apparently been removed.


author: repi
body: [@Christan Fergus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2790973)

The editor used in the confluence cloud version is very different from the editor of the server version.  
There are quite a few inquiries in the community as to why this and as is no longer available in the new cloud editor or why it is more cumbersome.  
I only use the cloud version to learn and test purposes.  
I prefer the server version.

Unable to render Jira issues macro.
Asked by Nallusamy Narayanaswamy:

Hi

I have added a JIRA Filter to Confluence page through **JIRA Issue / Filter** macro. It was successfully pulling the data and issues on the JIRA filter were populated on the confluence page.

Then, I edited and added one more column (**Label**). After that, It doesn't render the data.

Does anyone know the reason?

We are using Confluence Server 6.15.8 version.

Please find the screenshot of the error,

author: Diego
body: Hello there, [@Susanne Hofmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3942046) !

As I understand, you need to share a Confluence Page.

If you need to check how to do so, you can take a look into our documentation:
> * **++*[\[Confluence Cloud\] Share a page or blog post](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-a-page-or-blog-post/)*++**

Something to take into consideration is that sharing pages with people does grant them the permissions to see the content. We need to first be sure that said person has access to that piece of content within Confluence.

Let me know if that is all! Looking forward to your reply.

Way for users to enter text and image for bug tracking..
Asked by Robert Santiago:

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to allow users to enter text and maybe a screenshot in a Confluence page as a simple bug tracking tool. Notifications that an entry was made would be nice but not neccesary.

Something simple. Is there a way? Thanks.


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: Hi [@Robert Santiago](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3904843) , I'm not quite sure where you are going with this. Confluence is certainly not a tool for tracking bugs. That is what JSW would be used for. Now you can use the Jira macro to create a bug in Jira from within Confluence.
How can I freeze column headers in the new Confluence Editor?
Asked by Alain Beaulieu:

Hi,

In the new Confluence Editor, how do you freeze header rows and columns? I have a table that has lots of columns which span outside of the viewing area on the right. When I scroll to the right to see these columns, I want the first column to stay put, so I can see what each line refers to. In the old editor you used to be able to do this by editing the Table Macro and setting n columns to freeze. I can't see this anywhere anymore. Help please!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Alain Beaulieu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/400955) ,

Try the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app.

Here is an example of your wide table:

![Freeze 1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96631iF8AA305E1C937F9E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Freeze 1.png")And here is the standard Confluence behaviour:

![Freeze 2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96632iBD1234628C9D2FA7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Freeze 2.png")Let's wrap the table in the [Filter from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Sorting%2C+freezing+and+other+table+viewing+options) macro and freeze the first 2 columns (you can freeze rows as well):

![Freeze 3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96633iB573E931ECD5175F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Freeze 3.png")And here is the result:

![Freeze 4.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/96634i0CD87EC666905E31/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Freeze 4.png")As you can see, we've scrolled to the end of the table but the first two columns remain frozen.

comments: author: Alain Beaulieu
body: Thank you for the quick reply. My understanding is that this functionality existed in the old table editor but not in the new one and we must add and pay for a plugin now to restore the same functionality. That's not the best Atlassian move. Normally you want to remain backwards-compatible and improve on things rather than lose features, at least in my software development dimension of the universe.

Thanks Katerina!


author: Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
body: Hi [@Alain Beaulieu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/400955),

Column freezing was never available in Confluence by default, only apps could provide this feature. But there is the sticky table header feature in Confluence.

How to keep existing config when re-deploy in openshift
Asked by skh397:

I am running latest official docker image [Atlassians official image](https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/confluence-server) in openshift, and complete setup confluence license, DB connection, etc.

I got the setup screen again after manual deploy (nothing changes apply) in openshift. In the DB setup step, it gave an error that an installation already exists that would be overwritten if continued. Finally, I got the clean site and all the old setting is gone (E.g. Active Directory setting, Mail server setting, etc.).

Is it possible to keep the existing DB and setting in my case?


Answers:
author: Audun R?e _Kantega SSO_
body: I don't really know OpenShift, but the main reason I can think is that you may have forgotten to mount a data volume at /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence, as per the instructions of the image. Without a volume/mount, you'll lose all of CONFLUENCE_HOME every time you tear down the container(s).

How to develop a Confluence macro to populate template content after the user clicked a button?

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Mark Stolzenberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3941297) !

Currently, this is not possible in Atlassian Cloud. The closest thing you could achieve Atlassian side would be to rename your site from ++*currentname.atlassian.net*++ into ++*anothername.atlassian.net*++.

The *.atlassian.net* part of the address is inherent to all Cloud Sites. If you are interested in knowing a little more about how to rename your site, take a look here:

> * ++***[\[Atlassian Cloud\] Changing the cloud instance URL address or migrating to a new cloud instance](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/changing-the-cloud-instance-url-address-or-migrating-to-a-new-cloud-instance-691011835.html)***++

The best approach to this situation would probably be the redirection you mentioned. If people visit a specific URL that you hold control of, redirect them to the Confluence URL.

I hope this clarifies things!

Confluence process crashes or disappears on startup - no logs available
