How can I insert a JQL for an Total issue count via Confluence Markup
Asked by build-automation-bot:

So for examples lets say I have 3 projects

Project A

Project B

I want to insert a markup in confluence to create a table showing in seperate coloumns the count of total issues in each cell - so a count from a JQL in each cell.

Can't update or run Cloud Migration Assistant for Confluence
Asked by Max_Snow:

When I try and update this app, all I get is "An error occurred during installation. Refer to the logs for more information.".

I have no idea what logs it's talking about, none of the log files in the logs directory have anything at all to do with this app being updated.

Any advice?

Is it possible to do manually somehow ?

How can I get rid of this annoying notification in Confluence
Asked by Filip_Zajac:

This notification is popping up always when I reorder the items in the left navigation. It's annoying since it's hiding the stuff I want to see at that moment.

Do you know how to get rid of it?

Answers:

body: Hello [@Filip_Zajac](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3847393) !

The notification you referenced allows the user two things:
> 1. *To be sure that the action has been successfully completed*
> 2. *So users can undo the action by clicking the "undo" link*

Confirmation of an action that actively changes the page tree structure is there to help usability. And the undo action allows users to quickly undo something that was done by mistake or was not finished in the desired way.

As I understand, this notification will always pop up after the action. I will, however, check this and come here again with more information if such is available.

Let us hear from you!

PDF export looks different, no changes to PDF Stylesheet
Asked by Jawann:

Did anyone else start having issues with their PDF exports on Tuesday? I have custom formatting for the title and headings in my PDF Stylesheet, which worked for months. Now, custom formatting is ignored for the title (h1) and Heading 4+ (h5+). The title uses a custom font [as described here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Changing-font-family-in-PDF-export-OnDemand/qaq-p/433055), but the headings do not. I also noticed line breaks are being applied differently than before in some cases (one word earlier).

The issue started Tuesday afternoon Eastern Time. I know this because I generated a perfect PDF in the morning, but by the evening I was seeing these issues.

There have been no changes to the PDF Stylesheet (confirmed against a backup) and the issue occurs with documents that have not been edited for months. All of my docs are based on the legacy editor since the new one is unusable.

My admin has raised a support ticket, but curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?


Answers:
author: Jawann
body: I haven't been able to figure out the custom font or the line breaks, and nothing helpful from Atlassian support other than suggesting I not use the custom font. Thanks.

I was able to fix the headings by adding !important after all the font sizes. For example:

```
font-size: 16px !important;
```

I had to use this before for other things, but never for font sizes. Definitely seems like something changed on the backend.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@Jawann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1232239)We've also seen changes in PDF export, mainly related to images embedded with links. No idea what caused these changes.

Number of tasks per page option on Task Report doesn't work
Asked by Kirsty Davies:

I have created two task reports - one for incomplete and one for complete tasks

I am trying to limit the number of tasks shown on a page, because the complete list will keep growing. However when I limit to 10 per page or even 20 per page it still just shows all of them.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Kirsty Davies](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3562522) !

After reading your question, I understand that the Task Report "Number of tasks per page" setting does not work as intended.

With this behavior in mind, I was able to find a report tackling it:
> * ++***[\[Confluence Cloud\] Task Report Macro no longer paginates results](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69930)***++

Currently, there is no workaround for this issue. The best course of action is to vote and watch the report. Voting for it helps to increase the visibility of the report and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there.

Default language is not English. Just signed up Confluence
Asked by Addy Malik:

Even through the general configuration page, the site does not change to English. Can someone please help.

The message it shows is - Temporarily, currently only sysadmin can change indexing language and reindex all documents. Contact Atlassian Support if you need help.


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Addy Malik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3932125) !

After reading your question I understand that you need Confluence to be displayed using English as default language.

If you want to change the display language, you can do it in two levels:
> * *Global*
> * *Per user*

Both are described here:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Cloud\] Set the default language](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/set-the-default-language-873871361.html)***++

If you need to change the indexing language, please let me know. This process can only be triggered by Atlassian Staff. As of today site index rebuilds are restricted to minimize the impact of running many several indexing processes at the same time, which in many cases would largely impact performance for several customers.

If you need more insight into the differences between Confluence Cloud and Server, you can take a look here:

How do I insert page title into a page?
Asked by Bruiz:

We are using Confluence for help documentation that we are making available via an anonymously accessible space. When I view the content anonymously, it does not display the page title. Is there a way to make the page display the title anonymously?


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Bruiz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3931780)

As far as I know, your page titles should display. [Our help center](https://help.k15t.com/) is made up of several anonymous spaces and [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview).

All page titles display without issue. Are you using some sort of theme? I'm curious if that's blocking the display of the titles for some reason.

comments: author: Bruiz
body: No, it's pretty bare bones actually. Just the written content, a few images, and a few of the macros across all pages.


author: Christoffer Bromberg _K15t_
body: Hi [@Bruiz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3931780)

I presume you have:  
- enabled usage for anonymous users through Administration \> Global Permissions \> Anonymous Access \> can use

- the space you want to share with the public is open for anonymous usage through Administration \> Space Permissions \> Your space Manage permissions \> Anonymous Access \> All View  

If both is the case it should display the page titles.

Two ideas: Are you using the Confluence Cloud Free offering (permissions behave slightly different there) or do you use a personal space ( a space that is created for a specific user and whose space key starts with \~?  
If you can share a link to your Documentation it might also make it possible to help you better.

author: Clem
body: Hello,

Yes you can!

You can edit the HTML code and style by adding the style property **vertical-align: middle;**

First center your text horizontally :

**![Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164101.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/248236i6F6EBB32FAF1E5A7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164101.png")**

Then click on the code button on the top right of your page :

**![Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164158.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/248238i3394FC9DCA7DBD1D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164158.png")**

Then search for the \<td\> matching the cell you want to edit and add the text "**vertical-align: middle;** " inside the **style** property:

**![Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164246.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/248237iE49D6239DEA625C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture d??cran 2023-03-28 164246.png")**

Final result with two tables (last one have **text** centered) :

ThinkTilt's documentation is [a good example of documentation written in Confluence](https://www.k15t.com/blog/2019/09/create-a-public-documentation-library-in-confluence-cloud) Cloud, but there are currently some limitations with what you can customize.

My team has actually been working on a cloud version of our app, Scroll Viewport. With this app, you can customize a totally separate theme from the Confluence view and then publish it as a help center.

[Check it out and sign up to find out when it's released](https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-viewport/scroll-viewport-for-confluence-cloud). (Should be soon. ? )

Header and Footer in Export to PDF
Asked by John H:

We are contemplating creating release notes and requirement documents in confluence, rather than word and it makes sense to create and publish these on a page by page basis so we can distribute a document per release or requirement. Clearly this confidential information would need to be sent in pdf format.

The obvious way to do this is via the ... Export to PDF function - fantastic!

It is necessary for to add page headers and footers and branding on the front page. Researching this page <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html> both of these seem possible - excellent!

But then we notice the limitations section, specifically the first bullet: *Changes to the PDF layout only apply to space exports, not to single page exports (via ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/704577869/704577870/2/1517274795952/ellipsis.png) \> **Export to PDF*** *).*

How can I add a header and footer information to a single page pdf export please? the Export to Word is a last resort option because it adds additional steps and we might as well just create the information in word in the first place.

Many thanks

author: Anand Inamdar_Amoeboids
body: [@John H](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3649429) as far as I know, you will need to use Confluence add-on/s to customise the pdf export for a specific page.

If your only use case for all of this is release notes, you may want to look at our Jira add-on [Automated Release Notes.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215431/automated-release-notes-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

It can publish the release notes directly in Confluence as well as generate them in multiple other formats, including PDF.

But of course, if your case is broader than just release notes - then definitely the Confluence add-ons may make more sense.

how to get the spaceKey to use in the blueprint wizard
