Are spaces in the free account accessible to the public or not?

**Totally, totally brand new to confluence and I see this thing and it worries me...**

Welcome to the community and welcome to confluence!

First of all, no worries. Your free confluence instance isn't accessible for everyone. Only you have access to it! In the free plan, you can grant access to up to 10 persons.

Your confluence instance has it's own users and login. You can set up the users in the confluence settings under "**Users**"

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/91628i2CE6B1440139A0EA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

This will redirect you to the admin site, where you can set up users.

Hope this helped a bit. If you have further questions, let me know.

Regards, Dominic

integration with Digital Asset Management (DAM) platforms
Asked by Petr Anderle:

I'm looking into a usecase where there is need to work with rich media files (pictures, videos,...) stores in a DAM platform directly from Confluence and possibly even in JIRA. Basically, **directly from Confluence (or JIRA)**, I need to be able to:

* search for assets in DAM (without leaving Confluence)
* insert assets from DAM into Confluence content (pages)
  * or embed the assets

Has anyone had to deal with a such project (integrating Confluence/JIRA with DAM) for DAM solutions by Adobe, Bynder or Aprimo, please? There is just one module on Marketplace touching this topic which makes me wonder if there are some serious technical challenges I should be aware of.

Any insight or experience very much welcome!

author: Petr Anderle
body: Hi, Gianluca

That's just one piece of the whole solution - you would still need to develop some sort of integration with a particular DAM platform, correct?


author: Gianluca - STAGIL
body: Hi [@Petr Anderle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3823854), we have developed an add-on that transforms your Jira into an asset and master data management system for various use cases, including DAM. The app also provides easy one-click setups:

author: Heather Phagan
body: I run a team that produces a lot of digital assets for our use and other teams. I'm just starting to look at replacing our network shares with a DAM and it would be great if there was an integration with Jira / Confluence.

One problem we have now is we create files and attach them to Jira issues. If any changes get made to those files later they get out of sync with what is in Jira. It'd be much better if we could link to an asset in a DAM instead.

The pie chart is not loaded properly.
Asked by Elaine Tao:

1. from time to time, the pie chart on my confluence page (<https://issues.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MDM/pages/2051147482/2020+Jan+--+Apr+Escaped+Defects+Analysis>) is not loaded out.

2. Mostly probably, when I firstly created a pie chart, only part of it can be seen after I publish the new page. And I need to publish many times, until it can be loaded out completely.

This is an example

This is an older post and I'm wondering if you're still experiencing this issue? If so is it possible for you to try a different browser to see if the behavior is different? Often times things like this relate to interoperability between the product and the browser. Generally these things get resolved through updates on either the product or browser. Also clearing the browsers cache is a great idea from time to time.

Is there a way to reply to a new comment or Confluence thread by email?
Asked by Jeffrey Villamin:

We really enjoy Confluence but the one thing we're missing (coming from Basecamp) is the ability to reply to a comment or Confluence page by email. Meaning I can just reply to that thread or Confluence page by replying via email instead of having to go the specific Confluence thread, **then** commenting or creating a reply.

This would make responses from our clients a lot easier to manage and less confusing for them.


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Jeffrey Villamin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3079500)

As far as I know, this isn't possible for cloud.

Inserting time and date not working
Asked by John Strawbridge:

Hey there,

When I go to type the "//" sequence, it only adds "//mm-dd-yyy". It doesn't actually put in the numbers of the date. Is there a way to change this or am I doing something wrong?


Answers:
author: Mike Rathwell
body: Hi [@John Strawbridge](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3877844) ,

It *feels* like there is something outside Confluence causing that problem. When you type the "//" sequence you *should* get a date picker calendar popped up. If you aren't, there could be something wrong with Confluence but I would be more likely to blame your browser.

Try it in an incognito window. If that works, first simply try restarting your browser if you haven't for a while. If that doesn't work, you might need to nuke your browser cache.

Almost always in my world (I host 'em rather than use the cloudy versions) when something like that pops up when nobody else is complaining, it is the above. I always get a spate of such requests right after Google releases a new version of Chrome which gets applied but not activated with a restart. It seems it is pointing at the wrong libraries to what is in memory and just gets annoyed.

How to change a parent of the child page?

You should be able to find a "Move" command under the ellipsis (...) menu in the upper right. Do note, however, if you don't have edit privileges to the tree that "X" is in, you won't be able to move it there. However, If you do, you will be presented with a dialog where you can select either "recently viewed" or search for the page you want your page Z to be under.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

3. Select the Space and Parent Page

Another way to do this would be in the Hierarchy:

1. Select the 3 dots in the upper right and select "View in Hierarchy"
2. You can drag and drop pages, group them under new parents and organize an entire space in this view.

in order to read the attachements of this page. (\<\<my Confluence\>\> is the name I gave my page.)

However, Postman returns "Could not get any response".

Is there something I am doing fundamentally wrong?

I think the example in your documentation is outdated.

Check the official [REST API for Cloud](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/). There, you can find the [API for getting attachments](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-api-content-id-child-attachment-get).

```
GET /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/child/attachment
```

For your instance:

Why did the table in my page get reformatted and why can't I change it?
Asked by jpowelson:

I have a page in a space with a table and a couple attached files. The table is essentially a task list I am using to PM a project, which I periodically edit to update task status. (I am primarily using Google Chrome to access it.)

This was working fine for a few weeks, and then one day the entire page's text became italicized, and when I try to edit the page, it shows up in a compressed window (see screenshot) that I cannot expand or easily view because it is so small.

I tried reverting to a previous version - no luck. Any tips?
