Unable to Import large Confluence Site backup
Asked by Sanyash:

Hi,

I have an existing confluence could site backup which I would like to import into a new confluence site I have created. I no longer have access to the previous confluence site so only thing I have is the .Zip for the export of the previous cloud site.

What option do I have as the regular import ioption fails stating size sould be less than 200mb (for XML) in my case its 2 GB.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If the restore doesn't exist, you can just create it.

How can I get the preview back to "fullscreen"?
Asked by jankj:

When I use Google Chrome, I have an issue when I press on an image.

The preview is shown in the left side of the page/screen.

I have tried to clear cache/cookies, but I still have the issue.

If I login with chrome incognito or other browser (firefox), I don't have any issue. The image preview is shown as fullscreen.

What to do/How can I fix it?

If the problem happens with chrome and not on incognito, then possibly I would look at the extensions I have installed on my browser. Most likely that is the cause. Can you disable them all, clear cache and cookies and try again?

how to delete page


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Yuliana Trambitskaya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5098180) ,

in order to delete a page you need to :

1. Go to the page to be deleted.

2. Click \> **Delete**

The **Delete** option will only appear if you have permission to delete this page. See [Space permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-space-permissions/).

If someone has applied [page restrictions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/) to the page, these restrictions may also prevent you from deleting the page.

You may start with your Jira administrator: ask him/her what user groups have access to your project and what specific users belong to these groups.

If your users can see the project in Jira, then they will be able to see this project in Confluence via the Jira Issues macro.

Custom Macro
Asked by Tom Caliendo:

Hi All

Im working for a product team who is trying to standardize the way we write requirements. One thing we are looking to do is work faster and smarter by utilizing a custom macro or a text expander like app where we can easily insert a custom requirement we write often.

For an example anytime we need a requirement for a "Confirmation Modal" we would like an easy way of inserting a basic template...

This is a brief description of why we need this modal.

|   **Variable**   |  **Override**  |
|------------------|----------------|
| Title            | your text here |
| Description      | your text here |
| Secondary Button | your text here |
| Primary Button   | your text here |

Now I know I mentioned text expander which works great except for it doesn't capture the confluence styling.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can do something like this?

Thanks for the help ahead of time.

Am I understanding correctly that you would like to templatize content objects including macros, or tables and such that you could easily add to pages that you are creating?

I'd love to learn more!

comments: author: Tom Caliendo
body: Yes - Correct. When writing requirements you have standards and receptive content you need to rewrite constantly.

I would love for the ability to create my own macros so i could...

type "/confirmationModal"

then that would execute... Some text a link and a table filled out.


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: One way to do this is to build something called a "Forge" app. This is Atlassian's new platform to extend Confluence.

How to make Confluence (not in edit mode!) show full width
Asked by Frank Schindler:

I have Confluence pages with wide tables.

After migrating to 'new editor' the pages are not displayed in full width possible in my browser. Adding to the problem: if the table has a sufficient number of rows, no horizontal scrollbar is displayed.

Please instruct how I can manage to see more if not all content of a table row. Cheers!

Example:

![wideTable.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229784iCED6759DD4607DAC/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "wideTable.png")

"Card" link view - preview broken
Asked by Agatha Nicodin:

Hey everyone,

has anyone ran into this issue and can help--

When linking a Gslide and would choose the "Card" view option it used to show a preview of the first slide in the deck. This kept the overall look \& readability of the page sharp and clear. Now, I'm seeing a blank space (see the red rectangle). I've tried moving the files from one shared folder to another, but that didn't have any effect.

Might this be a Confluence page setting issue? I'm confused as some days ago, the preview worked just fine.

Any tips are welcomed. Thanks!

![gslides preview.jpeg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/229779i665932D6C3438798/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "gslides preview.jpeg")


Answers:
author: Phil Bryant
body: It's still broken.

The first card you put in usually works but if you are trying to put multiple cards in all at the same time (or on the same page)... that does NOT typically work.

SOMETIMES you'll be able to get the card preview to via this 10 step process:

1. creating a new page
2. inserting your link there
3. choosing card display
4. selecting the entire card with your mouse
5. CTRL-X to cut the link
6. navigating back to the page where you wanted the card to show
7. editing this page
8. pasting the card you cut back in step 5
9. saving this page
10. deleting the new page you created in step one

OFTEN I find I need to repeat the above 10 steps 4-5 times (i.e., **40 to 50 Steps** total) in order to get it to work.

Atlassian has a terrible track record of addressing issues such as these in a timely fashion, if ever, so be prepared to resign yourself to having to do a lot of extra repetitive effort to get your links to show up as desired.

Directing login information to use Confluence as knowledge base
Asked by Atacan Emre:

Hello,

We are planning to use Confluence as an online user manual or knowledge base for our own software. So the plan is, end users will login to our solution with their own credentials which do not have any relation to confluence part. When they click on the "help" button, page will redirect to confluence **without** asking additional login information.

Only constraint here is we ++do not want to open confluence to public access++. It should be reachable only via our user interface.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Atacan Emre](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5097824) ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

If you don't want public access, a user need to provide user and password when he land to your confluence site and you can't avoid that.

The only workaround that I see is to call an authentication api using an internal user (<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/basic-auth-for-rest-apis/>) and then redirect to your confluence site. In this way, any user will use a fake user to navigate your instance. Please, provide read only permssion to that user.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Automatic update of changes in one page
Asked by Eugenie Ermakova:

Hi!  

I am new to Confluence and I am trying to save my time not doing he double job (+ want to avoid copy/paste stuff).

If I have 2 interconnected pages in Confluence, and I change the data on 1 page, I want Confluence automatically update the information on the related page.

Is it possible?

For example, if I have list of products on 1 page. And list of clients on 2 page.

And I delete one of the products from first page, I want this product to be deleted automatically from the 2d page (where there is a list of all clients for this product). Is it possbile?


Answers:

body: ?? [@Eugenie Ermakova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1713032) ,

Out of the box, confluence can't do that. You can try to see if there is any app on the marketplace to do that.

comments: author: Eugenie Ermakova
body: Thank you! Do you know any application that could do this type of stuff?


author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: No, I don't. And to be honest I think that this will be a bit hard to find. This requirement you have could be pretty hard to implement, since you would have a lot of parameters to take into account.

Maybe a CMDB would be more appropriate for this kind of interconnected parameters. If you have JSM you might want to check Assets. If you are on a premium JSM plan, then Assets is free.

Is there any way to add a CSS class and / or ID to a table?
Asked by Norman Cates:

It would be very useful to be able to style specific tables using the CSS from the supplied user definable stylesheet. (Under Space Tools\>Look and Feel )

Targeting the tables with ID and / or class would be the most elegant way to do this.

I'm assuming the answer is no, at least from the main interface.

It might be doable form the Source view, but that's not a reasonable expectation to put on general users.

Perhaps there's a free or reasonably priced macro out there. Would be glad to hear about that.

comments: author: Norman Cates

I imagine it would work, but then we're trading being able to create a table with a class, for being able to visualise the table.

We are a graphically oriented company, and using tables to layout some pages. Since that's about the only way to do it.

So the more that we can visualise what it's going to look like as we work, the better.
