Can I assign different article visibility levels in a Space?
Asked by Bruno Couto:

I need 3 different visibility levels in a KnowledgeBase: Director, Manager and Analyst

Directors can see all articles published, Managers can see only articles created by managers and analysts and analysts can see only articles created by analysts.

When creating an article, the user can select its visibility level. A Manager can create an article only for managers (and automatically for directors) or set the visibility level for analysts, making it visible for every user in the Space.

Can I configure Confluence this way?


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: Really, the way you are wanting to do it would be best with three spaces rather than one space. This way the spaces can be structured however you want.

But if you really want to do it in one spacee the only real way to do it in one space would be to have three groups that have view a create permissions. Then create three root level pages. One called Director Pages, one called Manager Pages, and one called Analyst Pages. The Director Pages will be given a viewing restriction for the director group. The Manager Pages will be given a viewing restriction for the director and manager groups. The Analyst Pages will be unrestricted. When you create a new pages you would then place it under the appropriate parent page. The reason this works is because viewing restriction apply to the parent and all the child pages as well. So, the way you would control who can see it would be put them under the appropriate top level page. That is the only way I can think of to do it.

comments: author: Bruno Couto
body: Some more questions: in my example, a director would see director's page as default or choose one of the available pages to see the content? The director's page would list all level items or the user will need to access the lower level's page to see the content?


author: Davin Studer
body: If you used three spaces you could set each space to have its own home page, but if you use one space that space has only one home page and these three parent pages would be children of it. So, everyone will go to the space home page first. The structure would look like this.Space Home \<-- No view restrictions \|-Director Pages \<-- View restricted to the director group \| \|-Director Sub Page \| \|-Director Sub Page \| \|-Director Sub Page \|-Manager Pages \<-- View restricted to the director and manager groups \| \|-Manager Sub Page \| \|-Manager Sub Page \| \|-Manager Sub Page \|-Analyst Pages \<-- No view restrictions \| \|-Analyst Sub Page \| \|-Analyst Sub Page \| \|-Analyst Sub Page

How to rename all the Space name and pages names in Confluence
Asked by F:

Hi Team,

I need to rename all the Spaces and Pages in the Confluence instance. Other than going to each and every Space/Page and edit the title, is there any way (DB query or using REST API) by which I can rename all the Spaces and Pages in the Confluence.

We faced an issue where we need to share the Confluence instance backup to Atlassian, we tried Content Anonymiser, which will only Anonymise the Contents not the Space name and Page title.


Answers:
author: F
body: Hi Davin,

Thanks for your reply. I am having more than 1000 pages in the Confluence instance and renaming every page one by one using the CLI is not a feasible solution. I will look into the SOAP or XML-RPC API's methods. Thanks for you suggetion.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: The CLI can renamed based on a CSV or spreadsheet. It can loop through it so you don't have to do it one by one.


author: Davin Studer
body: Check out the [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation#Documentation-renamePage). There is a method for renaming pages. You could also do it yourself if you use the SOAP or XML-RPC API's. I would not recommend doing it through the DB. That is a great way to mess up your install really quickly.
To experienced Confluence (daily) users: Best way to update a project after the meeting.
Asked by Rafael Vieira:

We are working with "meeting notes" on daily basis now and I'm finding a bit easy to lose track of the meeting decisions if you don't manually update the project documentation.

Is there a easier way to expose the project directions and decisions in a single summarised page?  
Or maybe my approach is wrong... How do you guys do this process?

Thanks for you help!


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Rafael, the meetings have actionables tasks that can derive to spreadsheets with categories of the deliverables, expected dates, and outcomes. Every time one of the meeting members have progress on their subjects it can be logged into a page with tables where the fields describe the categories mentioned above.

There are two ways to follow progress: through [Conflunce workbox](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Workbox+Notifications), that will notify changes in the pages you follow or for the ol' mail inbox - [here the is a list](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Managing+Changes+and+Notifications+and+Tasks) of types of notification.

The trick is to have users actively communicating through the page editions in terms of work in progress.
How to scope NavMap macro to a Space?
Asked by steven:

Is it possible to use a [NavMap Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF55/Navigation+Map+Macro) on a page and scope it to only show page's with the label for the current or a specified space?

With the current usage, the NavMap will include links to spaces I do not maintain.

```
{navmap:mylabel|wrapAfter=4|title=My map name|cellHeight=50px|theme=navmap-mytheme.vm|cellWidth=80px}
```

I tried to prefex the label with the space name to no avail.

```
{navmap:space:mylabel|wrapAfter=4|title=My map name|cellHeight=50px|theme=navmap-mytheme.vm|cellWidth=80px}
```


Answers:
author: Guilherme Nedel [Atlassian]
body: Hello Steven,

There is [one improvement request](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-9354) to limit the macro by spaces, the idea of having it restricting spaces also would be good and can be added to that thread.
confluence ondemand tabs
Asked by David Pleasance:

With Confluence OnDemand - is it possible to insert horizontal tabs on a page


Answers:
author: Tim
body: Hi David,

Not sure if you're still looking, but we've created a Tabs macro as part of our toolbox of useful Confluence Cloud macros. It's pretty easy to use and will do both horizontal and vertical tab styles.

Try it here: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1215202>

Keen to know if it helps you out :smile:

Tim


author: David Pleasance
body: Thanks Davin but when i go to edit, insert, other macros, and search for aui there is no option for auitabs or auitabspage. Do you have any further clues for me to activate these ?

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: They must have disabled those specific macros for the addon. Other than that I don't have any ideas.


author: Davin Studer
body: I believe that the [Content Formatting Macros](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.contentFormattingMacros) in already in OnDemand and it has macros for tabs. They are auitabs and auitabspage.

comments: author: Tim
body: Only for server, their tabs aren't available for cloud. It's what inspired us to create a Tabs macro as part of our toolbox of useful Confluence Cloud macros (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1215202>). Feel free to give them a try.

blueprint templates
Asked by Gary Maxwell:

Is it possible to call a template from another template within a Blueprints plugin? Is Soy required?

Thanks Gary


Answers:
author: EPS Software Engineering AG
body: Hi Gary,

Our Add-on Page Tree Creator works a bit different then the Confluence templates. The PTC-templates are based on normal confluence pages and the creation process can be cascade. This means that the user creates the first page tree and can then create additional pages.

Try our [**Live Examples**](https://focuspro.eps.ch/display/PEPSMarktExample/Marketplace+Examples) (no registration needed). The example "*Create Product / Project structure"* is a good starting point.

Is there a plugin that will show who checked a task in Confluence?
Asked by SSchoepel:

Rather than go through the page history and compare revision after revision, for every page, is there a plugin (or a way) that perhaps is based off the task report macro to show who actually completed the task? I can check the box on other people's tasks. While some make like that flexibility, if we assign something we need to know who actually did the work (or if we use the task list feature as an approval).

Thank you.

task
How can I generate multiple tables from info on the same page
Asked by simon humber:

Hi.

I'm trying to change how my team captures tasks in the design phase.

I'd like them to write their features within a table, and include a unique task code, the description \& a priority code.

Then from all these features on the page, I want to auto-generate tables of task codes, descriptions according to the priority.

So the first generated table would have all the A rated priority tasks which would be spread over multiple unique feature tables on the page, then a table of all the B rated priority tasks, etc.

e.g.

There would be multiple Feature tables, Feature 1, 2, 3, etc

Within each feature the priority of the sub-features would differ.

Want to auto-generate tables of all the A priority tasks, another one with the B priority tasks, etc

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Properties+Report+Macro>


author: simon humber
body: Thanks for the thought Davin.

I'm flexible with my approach, I'm looking to avoid human error so they only have to update a piece of info in one place and not two places.

Having read the Page Properties explanation, I don't see how it relates to what I'm trying to do. What were you thinking?
how to import a powerpoint document
Asked by Jean Chadwick:

How do I or can I import documents other than word documents?


Answers:
author: Ellen Feaheny [AppFusions]
body: Hi Jean,

By Import, I am going to assume that you want to embed the PPT in your Confluence page.

If you have aPPT file (or any Office files and other types too) in an external repo like Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, Google Drive, Alfresco, you can use an [AppFusions](http://www.appfusions.com)integration to embed the PPT in your page. This allows additional benefits of being able to display in high resolution viewer in Confluence, and "present" your PPT directly from Confluence.

If you need to edit the file, you can edit the file FROM Confluence with the edit feature, and when you save, it is saved directly to the repository. One source, always synced. All files in logical directory structure.

You can also search your repository files from Confluence search, and return results from the repository (in addition to Confluence search results).

This is a pretty popular workflow for dealing with documents in Confluence. Here's a [whole bunch of videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj3RRvf1WrpdQCzgqkO9CjUZyipY1z-EY) to give more insight.

If interested in something like this, email [info@appfusions.com](mailto:info@appfusions.com) for an eval.

Ellen

p.s. This is available at current for SERVER version of Confluence only - not yet Cloud.


author: Ale? La?ar
body: In Confluence you can insert PowerPoint files as attachment and then use view file. But Importing (i mean get data to a page from powerpoin) it isnt possible. You can try it convert it to word.

Create a label in page property
Asked by Thierry Plesnar:

I have of course read the documentation here <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Page+Properties+Macro> , and was able to do it one time, but when I try to add a label, I can only see this:

Screenshot 2014-10-07 17.12.49.png

It seems that nothing allows to set the label. I more and more tend to think that this is a bug, but let's ask the community first.

Answers:
author: Thierry Plesnar
body: Thanks a lot for your help, but I think that there is a misunderstanding here. The kind of label I want, and that I achieved to use once, is used in page property report and is defined in page property, I don't achieve to make it work with page label.

In wysiwyg editor, it looks like that <https://www.dropbox.com/s/flnmh3isjt5amdj/Screenshot%202014-10-08%2007.25.36.png?dl=0> But when I open the edition inspector of this page property, I get the exact same one as the one showed above.

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That's the label you need to put on the page.


author: Thierry Plesnar
body: Thanks, and excuse my stubbornness, it is working as you described. Still it is far different how it was configured few months ago on another space of this confluence installation, but as long as it works.


author: Davin Studer
body: The page properties macro has never defined labels. I've used it for a couple years now and it has never automatically put labels on a page. Maybe your organization has created a user macro that wraps the page properties macro that will do this for you or something like that. But the stock macro doesn't do that.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You add the label to the page, not the macro settings.


author: Martin Dusch

Is there a an external links validator in Confluence?
Asked by Igor Sereda [ALM Works]:

I'd like to find all broken external links in a given space. An external link is a http:// or https:// link to an outside resource, and it's broken if it cannot be opened normally in browser for any reason.

I see there's a Link Validator plugin from Service Rocket, but it actually asks for a single URL as a parameter. (How useful is that.)

There's also a Python script from Atlassian and an article - <http://blogs.atlassian.com/2011/12/scanning-confluence-for-content-errors/> - but this script does not find bad links.

Thanks for any advice.

Is it possible to mirror a Confluence page?
Asked by Adriano Di Martino:

I would like to mirror an existing page on a Confluence space to another space. How can I do it?

As mirroring I mean having a new page that drefer to the same contect as the original page so that when some modifications are applied on original page these are automatically showed on the mirrored page.

Duplicating the page just create a new page which has separate life from the original one and then modification are not shared...


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Just put an "include" macro on the target page, and point the include at the source page. Any edit to the source page will be reflected in the target.

comments: author: Mike Rathwell
body: It would help to know the use case you are going for. *IF*it is to have a page appearing in a different space or page for organizational effort, the include macros cited are perfect. Do note, however, if it is to expose a page outside a protected area, unless permissions are explicitly set on that page, permissions will be inherited from the space/page in which it resides.


author: Adriano Di Martino
body: Yes, it's exactly the use case you have mentioned.Thanks a lot for your help


author: Riku Sarapisto
body: How to change those permissions? If the include macro was used to spread some pages from a restricted space to a more open space?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. If a page is restricted, then the content is protected and the include macro will not display it to people who can't see the restricted page. Because it's restricted.


author: Riku Sarapisto
body: Yep, but any hints how to do that - 'publish some pages into another space'?

:wink: r


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That's not what you asked AND it's not part of the main question. I can't read minds.


author: James Campbell
body: Is there a solution to create this "Include" option to share single pages with users who do not have permissions for the source Spaces?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, that would breach the security and permissions model.


author: James Campbell
body: Fair, but is it possible to override the inherited restrictions at a page level, in order to allow it?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You need to make the source page available to the people who should be able to see it.


author: Tiago Comasseto
body: You could create a new black page in the new space and use the [include page macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Include+Page+Macro) to load the content of original page into the new page.

space-key variables
Asked by Hans-Christian Riehl:

There are several "variables" for the space-keys, I can use in some macros (e.g. @all or @personal).

What I am looking for is a variable for the favourite spaces.  
I tried @favourite in the "activity stream"-macro to let it show the updates from the favourite spaces by default - but it did not work ...

Is there any possibility like that?


Answers:
author: John Paz
body: So there is a special space-key variable for favorite spaces, see more about that here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/_Special+Values+for+Space+Macro+Parameter>

But it appears to be for that specific macro, or at least not for the Activity Stream macro.

However you can customize that macro to include filters for specific projects.

Without more information about your use case that's probably the best advice I can offer.
