How to Connect PDF Stylesheet to HTML in HTML Macros in Confluence
Asked by Sean Duff:

We will need a stylesheet in order to style some things on our Confluence page that cannot be otherwise created with inline styles i.e. hover effects and overlays.   

Currently, when I create a class within an HTML Macro and then define the styles for that class in Space Tools \> Content Tools \> Look and Feel \> PDF Stylesheet, nothing happens.  
![stylesheet-pdf-01.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/177450i7E2711DCED46B1AE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "stylesheet-pdf-01.png")  

I also tried to create an internal stylesheet within the html macro and this did not work either and in-fact it broke the page:  

![html-macro-html5-01.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/177453iD24FB566DD9B3135/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "html-macro-html5-01.png")  

How can I connect the PDF stylesheet with the HTML Macros on our page? Or is there any other way to import a stylesheet that syncs with the classes within HTML Macros? I'm pretty sure we're on the Confluence server.   

Thanks

author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Sean Duff](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4699158) If you are on Confluence server you can configure your instance to allow for custom CSS per space. Follow the instructions here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html>

If you have a style you would like to apply to your confluence instance you can do it by adding it to General Configuration \> Custom HTML and add the style to the Head section.

comments: author: Sean Duff
body: As for the instructions article, I have tried the first method - **to edit a space's CSS style sheet** . The styles simply do not display.  

I've not yet tried to edit the global stylesheet, because I don't see the 'gear' icon anywhere in the interface. Looks like you need to click on a gear somewhere in order to go to **General Configuration** \> **Stylesheet**. I wonder if the reason why I'm not seeing the gear icon anywhere is due to a permissions issue? I've been given administrative access, as far as I know - but maybe I still don't qualify as a system administrator (?)


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Sean Duff](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4699158) If you are a space admin you will not be able to view general configuration. If you are a Confluence admin it will be presented as an option. I would suggest talking to your admin and they will be able to help you.
Is it possible to use the advanced search in Confluence for TeamFiles documents?
Asked by Sandra Zingerle:

Hi,

we connect our folders to TeamFiles and would like to limit the advanced search not only to confluences pages, but it should also be possible to search for documents that are located in TeamFiles. Furthermore, it should not only be possible to search for the title of the file, but also for the content of the file.  
Most of the time you don't know if there is a Confluence page for the term you are looking for or not. Then everybody would have to search twice to find all data in the space (and possibly in different TeamFiles).

Do you know if this is possible from the central searchfunction in Confluence?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Sandra Zingerle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4503638) Welcome to Confluence!

I do not believe that the native search field in Confluence and Jira searches inside of TeamFiles folders and files. The search feature is for content stored in Confluence and Jira - pages, attachments, documents, etc.

I did look at the TeamFiles documentation and don't see any reference to searchability inside of Confluence.

comments: author: Sandra Zingerle
body: [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028) thank you for the quick answer! I'm in contact with the TeamFiles support and hopefully the have a solution for the problem. I will let you know.

Is there a possibility to use real user mail addresses for notifications from Confluence?
Asked by Gerrit Berberich:

Currently all notifications from confluence system are sent with a defined system from mail-Address based on following page:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf713/configuring-a-server-for-outgoing-mail-1077914555.html>

Is there a possibility to send mails from confluence with the real mail address of the users. E.g. usecase: a user shares a page and someone wants to reply by mail to the shared page currently the mail will be sent to the "no reply" address of the system and not to the user who shared.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Gerrit Berberich](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/623863) It is not possible to have emails going out of Confluence to come from the specific users who made a change to the page or posted a comment. The information coming out of Confluence via email is really a notification and users should use the application to collaborate. This way everyone associated with the page would get the update and anyone viewing the page would be able to see the updates.

comments: author: Gerrit Berberich
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) , thanks for your quick answer. Yes, that's basically also what I thought but we had this request also from Users I wanted to share.

How do I add a workflow to a confluence template?
Asked by cjerbi:

Dear community,

I would like to add a workflow in an existing template. So once others use this template to publish page, the pages will automatically have the workflow.

author: Dave Mathijs
body: Hi [@cjerbi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4705370) welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In order to add workflows to a Confluence page or template, you would need an app like [Comala Document Control](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215729/comala-document-control?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) or [Comala Document Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?hosting=cloud&tab=overview).

Confluence Cloud will soon offer the possibility to add a status to your page.

comments: author: cjerbi
body: Thanks Dave for your answer, actually I'm using Comala workflow in a confluence page, but I'm asking if it is possible to add a workflow in a confluence template that it could be used afterwards in other spaces?

[@cjerbi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4705370) are you using Confluence Cloud or Server /DC? Currently we do not have the capability to add a workflow to a Confluence template in Confluence Cloud.

If you contact our friendly Customer Success team at <https://support.comalatech.com> with details of what platform you are on and your requirements, hopefully we'll be able to find an approach that works for you and be able to let you know when a relevant feature is added to the app.

Is there a way to remove cell background color from all tables in a page?
Asked by Ryan Theo:

I have pasted a document into a confluence page and am editing it to be a confluence document.  

The tables were all pasted with a black background (despite not having a black background in the original document)  

I do not want to have to highlight each table separately to remove the background color.  

Is there a way to remove cell background color from all tables in a page in a small number of movements?


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Ryan Theo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4705159) ?

Welcome to the Community! This should be easily completed via the steps below:

1. Highlight the cells in the row you wish to change the colour for
2. In the second to last right-hand cell, select the small downwards arrow ("v") which appears in the top-right of the cell
3. Hover over "Cell Background" and choose a new colour for that row

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Laura

comments: author: Ryan Theo
body: Thank you for trying Laura, but this did not address my question at all.  

I have a page with dozens and dozens of tables.  

I will restate my question with emphasis on the points of confusion.  

Q: Is there a way to remove ALL cell backgrounds from ALL tables in a page WITHOUT having to modify each table individually.


author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Apologies for missing the multiple tables part of your question Ryan. Unfortunately you aren't able to select multiple tables and change all cell backgrounds in one go. I've just tested it to make sure but you would need to change each table background individually.

My other suggestion would be to create the table in Confluence and then group paste the table content in instead of pasting the full table in - this should stop the black background appearing and take away the need to change the cells.

Is it possible to export all Space pages into a cool looking PDF from confluence.
Asked by Udhay Kiran:

Is it possible to export all Space pages into a cool looking PDF from confluence.


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Udhay Kiran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541456) ?

I'm intrigued by how cool you want your PDF exports to look, everyone loves a good looking document! There is a way to customise your PDF export which you can find all the information here \>\> <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customize-exports-to-pdf-190480945.html>

As for [exporting multiple pages](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-139475.html) to HTML, XML, or PDF's you can do that via the steps below:

1. Go to the space and choose **Space tools** \> **Content Tools** from the bottom of the sidebar
2. Choose **Export**
3. Select either **HTML** ,**XML** , or **PDF** , then choose **Next**
4. Select the type of export:
   * **Normal Export (HTML and PDF)** -- to produce an HTML or PDF file containing ONLY the pages that you have permission to view.
   * **Full Export (XML)** -- to produce an XML file containing all the pages in the space, including those that you do not have permission to view.
   * **Custom Export** -- if you want to export selected pages only, or if you want to exclude comments from the export.
5. Choose whether to **Include Page Numbers** (PDF only)
6. Choose **Export**.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Laura

"User List" macro - how often does it refresh?
Asked by Dorte Jacobsen:

To view our product documentation, customers and partners need to log in with username and password.

They are in a "confluence-external-users" group. The group currently only has about 100 users.

We use the "User List" macro with the option "Display Online/Offline Users"="true" on an internal reporting page to display external users who are currently online.

![UserList_macro.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/177389i78DAD9BCBF9032EB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "UserList_macro.png")

We also have test users in the same group and have noticed that when users log out, they do not disappear from the list of online users immediately.

Does anyone know how often the macro fetches data and refreshes?

Thanks,  
Dorte


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Dorte Jacobsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2068976) ?

I've taken a look at this for you but unfortunately the Confluence support article doesn't provide any clarification around the refresh time of the Macro, you can read the article here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf73/user-list-macro-991928239.html>

Searching other sources there is no reference to how often the macro fetches the data and refreshes for you... my suggestion would be to run an internal test and see how long it takes to update?

I hope this is somewhat helpful to you but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Is the editing error impacting images in tables as well...or totally different issue??
Asked by Andy - Urban Gorilla Boy:

I just had the following issue:

* Made a table, filled it with a variety of images (1 per cell), and published it
* Went back in 2 or 3 times to update empty cells with new images (again, 1 per cell) and published...
* Suddenly, all image in columns 2-4 are CLONING what is in Column 1 for that row.... (???)

How to upgrade my customer?
Asked by Filip Michele:

Hi, I would like to upgrade my customer = sell them the Trello Business Class license. However, I am not able to find other possibility to do so than the button "Upgrade my team".  

Consequently, Trello policy is that the entire team has to be on the same level, meaning that upgrading my customer to Trello Business Class would require me to have the same licese.   

Is there a way how can I sell my customers Trello Business Class license(s) without being a part of their team then?   

Many thanks for any sugesstions! :)


Answers:

While I am pretty familiar how reselling works in the Atlassian world of on-premise solutions, I am still struggling with cloud based solutons like Trello.   

Idea: My company orders the service, applies the discount, sells them to the customer and we both share the savings. Win-Win-Win for Trello, our customer and our company.
