Why is everything on my Confluence page showing up in bold text?
Asked by Kathryn Jakusik:

I have tried removing the heading row of tables but all of my confluence page content is showing up in bold text. When in Edit mode, it doesn't show in bold, so I can't figure out why it's displaying that way.

author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Kathryn Jakusik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5504489)

That sounds like a scary Server editor stuff :)

If it's not the Browser/OS issue as [@Rodrigo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4988097) suggested, try the following,

1. Go to the Edit mode
2. select all
3. go to the styles/formatting option (three dots next to B *I (more formatting)*
4. elect Clear formatting.

You will have to rebuild the page but at least it should remove weird html elements.


author: Rodrigo
body: Good day Kathryn!

Interesting. In which extend of your Confluence Page? Within a Table? A macro? A paragraph?

Once I observed this happening by giving the Bold condition to a macro, which affected te contents inside, however not sure if this is the case for you.

Other helpful questions: does this happen in other browsers? or in other areas of Confluence? (eg., navigation sidebar or so). It could be a preference int he browser (like custom typefont) and so.

Best regards  
Rodrigo


author: Jony Dcosta
body: Is this happening in the table only? If yes, then the table style could be the problem - so here is what you could do

1. For changing already existing text from Bold to non-bold format
   * Highlight the text, and then click on the Heading Row icon (you will find this icon in the tool kit bar/row at the top of your page in the edit mode)
2. For the new table, probably you can choose the same icon, even before you insert your table.

Confluence queries
Asked by Aswathi D:

I have some questions regarding confluence page . Can someone help me here ?

1. Is it feasible to customise the email content sent to watchers following page modification
2. include a filter option at the top of the page for year and month , with data appearing based on selected criteria
3. can we restrict content access based on specific criteria for a single page ?


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: Answers:

1. It is possible, although not the most convenient way: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customizing-email-templates-168001822.html>
2. I think there is no built-in feature for this, but there are apps for publishing a page on a given date. Do your research on the Atlassian Marketplace.
3. There are page-level restrictions: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html>

I hope this helps.

body: Hi [@Aron Gombas _Midori_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502447)

Thanks for your reply.

1 . So it should done for the whole confluence instance right ..we can't do for a individual space .

Please correct me if I am wrong

2 .oky

3 .I know about page level ..I would like to know if there is a way to restrict each content on a same page


author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: 1) As far as I know there is only one template, not one per space. But maybe in the template code you can add a condition like:

```
#if(page.space.key == 'FOO')
? This text is only in email sent from the FOO space.
#else
? This text is in every other emails.
#end
```

3) I don't understand. Do you want to secure only a piece of content (a section) within a page? If so, I think there are apps for that!

Hide a text block based on condition of confiform field value
Asked by Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta:

I want to hide a text in the confiform edit controls while editing based on the value of a confiform field, say name:\[empty\] This text will show only after a condition like of name is not empty is matches


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: The best option is to use ConfiForms Field Definition Rules (Hide Field)

comments: author: Dhiraj Kr_ Gupta
body: That is not created through Confiform Field Definition (text). It is simple text added in Form view


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Consider using hide/show container rule then - this allows you to show/hide elements by providing a CSS selector.

Also, if you are on server(DC) then ConfiForms IfMatches macro can be something that can be used as a container (condition set to \* and with a custom element id defined you should be able to address that element via CSS selector easily)

Answers:

body: Hi [@Matthew Reid](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5504182) ,

Not sure if you've caught a bug or smth - I can see that your table is wrapped into the Expand macro or smth (the "Base Table" with the downward arrow at the top left). Try to recreate your table without any additional macros/sections/etc.

As we develop the [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app that may happen to be installed for your instance, I can mention that you can define the width of each column via the Table Transformer macro. It may come in handy when you columns are supposed to have different amounts of data. Please take a look at this example: <https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/advanced-table-cells-formatting-58426218.html#Advancedtablecellsformatting-Changingcolumnwidth>

How to delete or archive a page in a specific space?
Asked by Rahul Singh:

Hi,   

I have now my access level on Confluence updated to an org. admin.   

However, I am still not able to delete any articles in my team's space, nor, I can edit the title of the space.   

Please help and advise on priority as this is time-consuming and not user-friendly.  

Best Regards,  
Rahul Singh


Answers:
author: Valerie Knapp
body: Hi [@Rahul Singh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5504114) , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

Org admin level permission doesn't necessarily mean you have permission at the Space level to delete a page.

As a product admin for Confluence, it should be possible for you to gain the permission to delete a page in the Space like this - ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/325555i9A4C04ACD1528B4C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

From the Confluence settings, go to the Security section, then Space permissions. You can either add yourself to the default space permissions or manage the permissions to the Space where you need to delete the page directly, as I am indicating in this screen.

I hope this helps you.

Cheers

comments: author: Rahul Singh
body: Hi Valerie,   

Thanks for the answer.   

But, I made all the changes but, was still unable to archive articles or delete articles in the **"Product Support"** space. I have even added**jira-administrators group and enabled everything** in the default space permissions section but of no use.

author: Valerie Knapp
body: Hi [@Rahul Singh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5504114) , thanks for your feedback.

In this screen, you need to scroll down a bit under where the 'Default space permissions' are to find the 'Individual spaces' section, and from there, click on the 'Manage Permissions' link to the 'Product Support' space. ![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/325589i7DC16AEB0BB9CB36/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Editing a variable value after using template to create a page
Asked by Amelia Fraczkowski:

I successfully create a template and used variables as part of it. When I would like to create a page from the template, I am prompted to enter the variable values and then I can create the page and the variable values are populated. However, is there anyway to edit/update the variable values after clicking on "create" i.e., in page edit mode? From my experience while in edit mode, the variable placeholders disappear and I can no longer interact with the variables e.g., choose another value from the dropdown list.


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Amelia Fraczkowski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5420968) Once you set the variables and create the page, the variables no longer exist---the page is independent of the template at this point.

There may be a 3rd-party app that would allow you to do this or some other method of handling the data in the page, rather than by using template variables.

Functions for Confluence table
Asked by Niklas Dausend:

Hello everyone,

<br />

I would have liked to integrate two functions into my Confluence table:  
1. The first line of my table is currently spotted, means when I scroll in the table, the first line can always be seen for better clarity. Is there a possible key to implementing the whole thing for the first column? So if I scroll in the table to the right, the first column can always be seen?  
2. In my table, points for individual cells are awarded. Is there a way to automatically calculate the points together (equivalent to the Excel function SUM)?

Best regards  
Niklas


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Niklas Dausend](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5498619) ,

With the help of the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-filter-macro-42239756.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro you'll be able to freeze first N rows/columns and perform standard tabular calculations (SUM as well).

Other macros may help you to perform advanced calculations, transformation, and aggregation. You may also visualize your transformed tables.

If you are not familiar with the app, please book a [live call](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2024-05) with our team - we'll be able to discuss your use cases and see if we can help with other issues.

body: [@Ondrej Doubek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5498752) per their documentation it looks like you can limit it to export only <https://dragonsoft.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DAS/pages/2151677963/3.1+How+to+limit+the+watermark+to+appearing+only+on+the+export+Confluence+page>

If you do this it would not show on any of the printing. It does not look like there is an option to show on printing if it is not displayed on the page.

comments: author: Ondrej Doubek
body: Thank you, Brant.  

After some more investigation this seems to be the case with all other PDF export and watermark plugins as well, so we likely will settle for a generic disclaimer saying something like "uncontrolled if printed".

Bulk move nested macros
Asked by Viet Le:

I'm currently in the middle of migrating from confluence server to confluence cloud.

Since Atlassian removed the feature of nesting a macro within a 3rd party macro, I am left with 50+ macros nested in a 3rd party macro. For context, confiforms macros nested in a refined toolkit application.

I have to essentially remove the 50+ confiforms macros from within the refined toolkit macro which is both time consuming and tedious. Not to mention that it messes with the formatting.

Does anyone know of a better way to un-nest this without drammatically messing up the format? I tried copy and pasting the confiforms macro outside of the refined toolkit app but that led to undesirable results and messy formatting.


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: This would be a job for scriptrunner.

I would play around with Scriptrunner to find a way to recreate the pages so the macros are not nested, and then work on formatting the page so it is readable again. I do not see a way to avoid throwing off the formatting. I would expect this to take many hours if not days.

Or, I would export the entire site, create scripts in python, perl or your favorite scripting language to rewrite the pages, and import them to a new space that I would then test and use as my export source in the migration to the cloud.

There may be marketplace apps or partner-supplied tools for unnesting but I am not aware of one publicly available.
