Using an Articulate Storyline file within Confluence
Asked by Mark Colantonio:

Is there any update on being able to upload an Articulate Storyline file in Confluence? This is something that my team is very interested in doing. However, everything I've found on this topic is over two years old. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Are you working with Confluence Cloud or Data Center?

I'm curious if you've explored using [Smart Links](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/) or embedding for your guide/storyline. I haven't seen full Smart Link functionality with Articulate, but it might be worth exploring.

At Kolekti, we've been talking to large organizations interested in similar solutions who are looking to consolidate their content within Confluence. We developed [Guided Pathways](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1232574/guided-pathways-for-confluence-decision-tree-driven-content?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_campaign=kolekti_gp4c_cld_articulate-storyline) to support the creation of guides, onboarding, handbooks, and other decision-tree style content directly within Confluence.

If you're open to it, I'd love to hear more about your use case and see if Guided Pathways might be a good fit. Feel free to reach out to me at dmartinez@adaptavist.com

Unable to rename page, although page with same name has been purged
Asked by Ines C:

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble renaming a page because there was a previously deleted page with the same name. I used the "Purge" option over 24 hours ago in Space Settings \> Manage content \> Trash, so I can longer access this other page.

Has this ever happened to you? If so, how did you fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Try to run this in SQL and see if any of the pages exists in the database.

comments: author: Ines C
body: Many thanks, [@Ponnappan Ganapathiya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5282370)

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the database, so I think I'll submit a ticket to Confluence Support.

How do I prevent a specific status from rolling into the next sprint?
Asked by lvonzeller:

Our "Ready for Release" tickets are rolling over into the next sprint. However, since there is no development work remaining, we want these tickets to fall off the board when we close a sprint.

How do we prevent tickets in this status from rolling over?


Answers:
author: Ponnappan Ganapathiya
body: Hi Ivon,

Could you please confirm the status in placed in the right most column in the board. You can see that is the only column that is marked in Green.

Regards,

Ponnappan.

comments: author: lvonzeller
body: No. My team likes to have that status broken out because sometimes we can push to prod before sprint end and this would officially put the ticket in a "Done" status. There are other times when we cannot release until other work is completed, so we use the "ready for release" status. Though, since no dev work remains, we don't want it to roll to the next sprint.

<br />

Is that the only way for those statuses not to roll over?

author: Ponnappan Ganapathiya
body: As far as I know, that is the only way. Otherwise you may use two boards to visualize them better. One to run the sprints and another one to display the cards status.

Is there an rest API to fetch the space overview content?
Asked by Saivi_Chatterjee:

I want to fetch the content that we see in the overview page when we click on the space name i.e. the content we see in the browser for the below URL

https://\<domain-name\>/wiki/spaces/\<space-key\>/overview


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Saivi_Chatterjee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5589776)

This is simply said still a page in the space.

You should be able to find the space first, via /wiki/api/v2/space/{spaceid}

Then make another call /wiki/api/v2/space/{spaceid}/pages, here you will also find the id of the page set as the main page in the space.

How do I compare two different pages in Confluence
Asked by Jean:

This question's been asked before but without a real answer.  

The scenario is two **different** pages - so it's not about comparing page history versions.  

I want to establish whether a page that seemingly has the same content to another, is the *exactly* the same (bar page comments).  

Call it a plagiarism check if you want - I need to ensure my team is working of the same content - and essentially, the same document, but I need to be confident that I can archive the exact duplicate.


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Jean](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5589887)

Within Confluence, no.

With an app, no apps for this.

You could export pages in xml and compare the files, there are online tools for this.

comments: author: Jean
body: Thanks Marc. It's a very usable feature imho. I'm not a fan of using online tools due to security concerns so would have preferred everything being possible within the trusted Confluence space.

Thanks for responding though. I'll find some manual workaround of sorts.

Status in Confluence
Asked by Sherry Nightingale:

Hi

I've created a new status called 'Ready for Publishing'

When this status is selected on a Confluence Page it triggers an automation rule

I only want 'Ready for Publishing' available on some pages within a Space - is there a way to restrict which pages can see and choose 'Ready for Publishing'?

I'm finding that some users are selecting 'Ready for Publishing' on pages that I don't want this rule to run on

Thanks

Sherry


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Sherry Nightingale](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5299338)

Sorry, but no.

Statuses are space wide.

If this would be possible, I would see problems in that setup.

This setup would cause issues in the same that labels can do within Jira.

* names spelled not correctly
* captials vs. non-capitals
* etc...

Customizing the SSO login page
Asked by andrea schneider:

Hi

Could someone give me a tip on how to customize the login page that is used when SSO (Authentication method SAML) is enabled? Currently we see the Confluence logo, a button for SSO access and a link to the standard login page.

Sorry, I don't have the option to upload a screenshot at the moment.

Thanks for your help!

URL example:

[https://my.confluence.com/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action\&permissionViolation=true](https://my.confluence.com/login.action?os_destination=%2Findex.action&permissionViolation=true)


Answers:
author: Vicknesh Shanmugam
body: Hi Andrea.

If you are using Confluence server, you might be able to customize the bundled SAML plugin to change what's shown in the UI. You'll need to download the version of SAML plugin that you are using from <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216096/sso-for-atlassian-data-center/version-history?versionHistoryHosting=dataCenter> and extract the file. There should be CSS files from the extracted file that you can change the login content (it might the "login-page-ui.css" file located at atlassian-authentication-plugin-4.3.11\\frontend directory).

After making the change, you may recompile the jar file and install the custom jar file to your Confluence server to check whether the changes works. You'll need to test this out in a test server first.

Regards,

Vicknesh (ServiceRocket)

comments: author: andrea schneider
body: Hi Vicknesh   
Thank you very much for your input and the very precise explanation!

But if we can only adjust CSS anyway, I'll try using custom CSS somehow.

Andrea

Upgrading from a Starter Confluence Server license

Is there a way to merge Confluence Question topics?
Asked by Dan Rumney:

If I have two topics `foo` and `bar`, is there a way for me to merge them so that `bar` is gone and all questions marked as `bar` and now marked as `foo`?


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: I'm not aware of a built-in way to achieve this - accordingly, depending on the number of questions in your topic(s), it might be easiest to just visit them manually and adjust the topics as required.

However, in case you have too many questions for a manual approach, there is an experimental (!) Confluence Questions REST API available too [as of recently](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-376?focusedCommentId=759655&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-759655):

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-376>

The following [Confluence Questions REST Resources](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/index.html) would seemingly allow to automate this:

* GET on [/questions](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/resource_QuestionResource.html#path__questions.html) features a query parameter `topicId`
* GET on [/questions/{questionId}](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/resource_QuestionResource.html#path__questions_-questionId-.html) for each returns the [questionDTO element](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/el_ns0_questionDTO.html), seemingly containing an element with the question's `topics`
* PUT on [/questions/{questionId}/topics](https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/rest/resource_QuestionResource.html#path__questions_-questionId-_topics.html) seemingly allows to update the topic list

I haven't tried this myself yet though, and the API definitely seems experimental at this point ...


author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: @Dan Rumney - my answer is complete now. Sorry for the iterative approach, but I encountered the odd restriction that "Your post was rejected because it contains blacklisted words", and the resulting post is now word by word identical to the one that I wanted to submit in the first place, alas ...

Can't search in Confluence Questions
Asked by Karl Dandenell:

We have installed the Questions add-on on Confluence 5.8.4, and it's working fine except for searching.

When entering a query in the "Search Topics" field under the TOPICS menu, user receives no response. User is Admin, so permissions aren't an issue as far as I know.

Search for questions in the PRIMARY search field (top of page) is functional.


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: This could be a misunderstanding regarding the scope of "Search topics" (I might be misreading your question in turn) - the "Search topics" field's purpose is a type ahead search for topic *names*, rather than searching for actual questions previously submitted for those topics (I can totally see how the inline prompt and field placement might be misleading, which means Atlassian should try to improve the resp. usability by rephrasing the inline prompt for example).

You can test this within the [topics](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/topics) menu of this very site, where the type ahead search for topic names does work just fine for me right now. If you *have* been referring to this functionality and it does not work for you indeed, you might be affected by these issues though:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-1520>
* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-1979>


author: Karl Dandenell
body: Thanks. After I posted this, I stumbled across the answer. It would make more sense -- to me, at least -- to be able to search on the topic contents as well. As it's designed, you really have to know what you're looking for, and with a large Question list, that may not be possible.

No search results page for Confluence Questions
Asked by Adnan Kamili:

When we search for any query string in Confluence Questions it only displays a list in the form of a dropdown. I would have expected something similar to stack overflow which displays a page containing all the relevant questions and some part of the answer. This is only available for tags in Confluence Questions that also doesn't show any body text.

It's pretty useless for us if a page displaying search results similar to stackoverflow is not displayed on searching text. Is this feature being implemented or in todos or won't be implemented. It matters a lot for our company.


Answers:
author: RamaRao .
body: **Yes. I find it absolutely disappointing too.. Can someone answer this question on how to see the search results page?**

Confluence Questions list only 20 questions per topic
Asked by darcfinn:

When listing all questions for a topic we only see 20 items under "Recent" and 10 intems under "Popular". There is no paging or possibility to get the full list of 45 questions out.

How can we enable such paging or is there some other way of browsing all questions related to a single topic?

We are currently running Confluence 5.4.1 and Questions 2.0.10.

Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: This should work conceptually - the expected behavior is 'infinite scrolling' plus a 'show more' link, as implemented via these issues in Confluence Questions 1.0.x already:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-110>
* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-997>

You can verify this with the *Recent* tab of the [confluence-questions](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/topics/753924/confluence-questions) topic on this very site for example, which offers 'infinite scrolling' at first, and a 'show more' link thereafter for me just fine - there are two related open issues though:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-1389>
* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CQ-1532>

The latter in particular, while reported against the [topics](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/topics) page, might easily imply that this could happen for the question lists as well, given that it likely uses the same JavaScript implementation for this behavior:
> I have a 1080p monitor set up vertically (portrait) instead of horizontal (landscape). When I view the "Topics" page, it shows me the first 15-20 topics and stops. On a landscape monitor, I could then scroll down and more topics would auto-populate (to a certain limit before a "show more" button appears).
>
> On the vertical monitor, I can't scroll down since the entire page fits onto my monitor, thus I can never activate the auto-population scrolling function to see the rest of the topics.
How do I delete a question someone else has asked in Confluence Questions?
Asked by Mitch Downey:

We're huge fans of Confluence Questions, and more and more people in our company are adopting it. However, we are noticing a large number of duplicate questions being asked, and we want to have a moderator sweep through and delete all the duplicate or insufficiently phrased questions.

Is there a way that an administrator can have permission to delete or edit a question asked by another person?

I saw the Expert permissions list, but it doesn't look like it allows anyone to delete a question. Basically we want to allow a couple people to be Superusers of Confluence Question, who can go in and delete anyone's question at any time.

Any information would be appreciated, thanks!
