Howdy Adri?n, you didn't link to the page in question, but I tracked it down.

This is all dependant on *your* database configuration. You may consider creating a support ticket with Atlassian, since they might be able to help you through their article.

Can you clarify, you ran the provided scripts but cannot find the output?
Where are user defined Draw.io libraries stored in Confluence and can I rename them?
Asked by Matt Shields:

As per title, I am creating a number of Draw.io libraries as part of a document for an architecture repository but I can't find where the libraries are stored in Confluence or how to rename them. Does anyone know?


Answers:
author: Boris
body: Look for a table in the database called something like AO_SOMETHING_DrawioLibrary.  
The SOMETHING part is actually part of the hash of the plugin key.  
Currently, libraries cannot be renamed through UI once they are created. But it's a feature we might consider in the future.

**Update**

v 5.4.5.0 now allows renaming of custom libraries.

Japanse characters in PPTX file can't be displayed properly
Asked by Hisamitsu Koga:

I have been using Confluence Sever 5.9.7 here. When insert a PPTX file with Japanese characters and

click "Presentation" icon at bottom left corner of the PPTX file, Japanese characters can't be displayed properly.

Each Japanese character is displayed as square. If this is known issue, please let me know issue#, workaround

etc.

How to list the pages a user is watching?
Asked by Rob Hemesley:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Managing Watchers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=336169117)*

How to list the pages a user is watching?


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: For Confluence Cloud, your options are limited. You could either log in as the user you want to see:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/log-in-as-another-user-776994835.html>

Or you could at least see on a per-space basis in this add-on:

author: Stephen Deutsch

[https://bitbucket.org/stephendeutsch/confluence-user-macros/src/39c3a025dacc6b45abc0105f0b7a21a7375690b4/bulk%20remove%20watchers/remove%20watches%20for%20user.vm?at=master\&fileviewer=file-view-default](https://bitbucket.org/stephendeutsch/confluence-user-macros/src/39c3a025dacc6b45abc0105f0b7a21a7375690b4/bulk%20remove%20watchers/remove%20watches%20for%20user.vm?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default)

Make sure you set it to show only for administrators. Anyone who isn't in the 'confluence-administrators' group will only see their own watches.


author: Nicolas Casel
body: It works fine, thanks a lot!


author: Rob Hemesley
body: Thanks Stephen. Logging in as the user was enough for me to do what I needed. Many thanks for the suggestion!

Confluence User Directories: How do we create a new user into the second user directory?
Asked by Andreas von Euw:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Managing Multiple Directories](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=229838494)*

We have 2 User directories defined in Confluence.   
At the first position is our Corporate LDAP directory (delegated auth, read only)  
On the second position the confluence internal user dir.

How do we add a technical user into the confluence internal user directory? Do we have to change always the order of the directories before creating the user? That's not really usable and could only be done at non-office hours ....


Answers:
author: ANANDHASENTHIL BALAKRISHNAN
body: We are also experiencing the same issue. In Confluence we don't have any option to assign specific user directory during user creation. It always takes the first user directory as default ..Not sure how to resolve this issue.

Wiki URLS - Nomenclature sometimes contains page name, sometimes not
Asked by Stephen Kairys:

In one of my client's spaces, when I view a page, the URL contains elements regarding to the page name/taxonomy e.g.

[http://docs.MyCompany.com/display/CUSTOMER/API+](http://docs.pulsepoint.com/display/BUYER/RTB+Implementation+Notes)Developer+Guide

when I edit it, the URL changes to instead include a pageid.

[http://docs.MyCompany.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=5308809](http://docs.pulsepoint.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=5308809)

OTOH, in another space, the same URL, excerpt for "viewpage" vs "editpage" (with the pageid) displays whether viewing or editing:

<http://docs.pulsepoint.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=9568628>

<http://docs.pulsepoint.com/pages/editpage.action?pageId=9568628>

Bottom line

1. What would explain this different behavior?
2. If I move a page within a space and I have a link to it on another page, will the link break (e.g. will the pageid change?) I suppose the answer may depend on whether I use the link with the pageid?

Thanks,  
Steve


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Here is some more information:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-page-urls-contain-pageid-instead-of-the-page-title-278692715.html>

Basically, if there are special characters in the page title, then it could cause problems in the URL, and it is therefore referred to by the page ID.

The page ID always stays the same after page creation, so it will work no matter which space it is moved to.

Even when moving a page with a standard link to another space, the link should be updated to point to the new space, so it doesn't matter whether you have a page with a standard link or with a pageId, both should have automatically-updated links even after moving.

Can you restore spaces from OnDemand accounts?
Asked by Preston Degginger:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Can I restore a recently deleted page or space?](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=180295253)*

Ask your question here...


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Atlassian Support will probably be able to help you better here, but it is in theory possible to restore spaces to a server instance from a Cloud instance. However, you may need to install a special version of Confluence Server (provided by Support) that is the same version as that running in the Cloud. Either that, or they might have some sort of workaround. Although I've heard of it being possible, Atlassian Support will let you know for sure.

comments: author: Stephen Deutsch
body: If you are asking if you can export/import between Cloud instances or even to the same Cloud instance, then the answer is Yes.

Difference between space and page?
Asked by Stephen Kairys:

Silly question from a Confluence Newbie:

I am working on a Wiki that has several spaces. Call one of the spaces "Customers". if I bring up the "root" of the space, I see a list of pages below it, with explanations displayed via the **Children Display** macro culled from **Excerpt** macros on the child pages.

One of the child pages (call it Accounts) itself has child pages (grandchildren of the root page). with the same method per **Children Display** and **Excerpt** macros.

e.g.

`Space: Customers`  
` Orders`  
` Accounts`  
` Domestic`  
` Overseas`  
` Sales `

To the naked eye, this child page looks just like the root of Customers. What, then is the difference?

Thanks,

Steve


Answers:
author: Elifcan Cakmak
body: hi,

spaces are like containers that keep pages. you can think of it as a project like in jira. you can set different permissions for different spaces and manage each space as of its own.

for example you can create a space for your finance team and make it visible to only them and create another space for your sales team and make it visible to only them. under these spaces you can create many pages and child pages.

hope this makes sense.

comments: author: Stephen Kairys
body: So what am I seeing then when I look at the root of the Customers SPACE? An entity that serves at the root PAGE of that SPACE?

Thanks.


author: Elifcan Cakmak
body: when you create a space named customers, you also create a main page named customers. it is the root of this space. you can see this as a dashboard when you open that space. you can also change this root page from space tools \> overview.

I'm not able to use scroll versions with anonymus users
Asked by Liliana Iriarte:

Hi,

I configures Scroll versions but I'm not able to configure it for anonymus users. Is this permission available in this addon?

Regards


Answers:
author: Liliana Iriarte
body: Thanks for the quick answer. In my case I have a confluence space where anonymus users are able to see the documentation and I wanted to let users to switch among versioned documentation but I couldn't find the way to configure scroll versions for anonymus users.

Is there a way to configure scroll versions for users who are not logged in in Confluence?

Thanks in advance

comments: author: Alex Yasurek
body: Hi,

You can't assign anonymous users as a group to you wouldn't be able to add them to any of the fields in the configuration screen for scroll version. I assume anonymous users have view access to the space in the space permission section?

Also, one way to do what you want is to use Scroll Viewport. It's their theme plugin which lets you create themes which allow users to see the various versions of a space.


author: Liliana Iriarte
body: In this case anonymus users will have only view access to confluence in order to read the documentation and switch among versions but when configuring scroll versions anonymus users are not able to see the dropdwon with versions.

So, the only possibility to achieve this is by using the Scroll ViewPort?


author: Alex Yasurek
body: Yes, since anonymous is not an actual group you can add then there is no way to make them reviewers of a Scroll Version space. Scroll Viewport does allow you to create a theme that allows anonymous access to view versions. If you look at Atlassian's documentation, they also use Viewport:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-release-notes-327.html>


author: Alex Yasurek
body: Hi,

What do you mean? Are you trying to give anonymous users VIEW permission or EDIT permission for the Scroll Version space?

We use Scroll Version and give anonymous users access to view published spaces but we dont give them access to edit them because I dont think its possible. In the Scroll Configuration you have to specify which user groups are reviewers, authors, translators, and doc-admins. I don't believe you can enter anonymous group for any of those so the most they would be able to do is view a space.

For any calculations in Confluence, including any manipulations with table data, you may use [CelesteCS Math for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.celestecs.confluence.celestecs-math).

Assume you have a table with three columns and three rows on your page -- from A1 till C3, where row 1 is the header row. The sum calculation formula for rows 2 and 3 will be simple:

```
SUM(Table1.A2:C3)
```

There is a plenty of other functions in the macro, so you may perform any calculations using formulas in EXCEL style.

JIRA Issue/Filter show more than 1000 Issues
Asked by Alexander Richter:

Hi there,

is it possible to show more than 1000 Issues in a table, when using the JIRA Issue/Filter macro?

While Configuring the macro, you are able to choose how many issues shall be shown. Beneath this field it tells you to keep blank if you want to see all issues.

--\> If you leave blank it fills in 1000 automatically.

So, when you have more than 1000 issues, the filter will just show the first 1000.

Then I thought, if i use a table filter macro additionally, i could see the issues i want (because the amount of issues will be lower than 1000).

But what happens is, that the additional Filter does only give you the output of the first 1000 issues, that are shown with your basic Filter, defined in the JIRA Issue/Filter macro.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Best Regards

Landing Page Anchor Fail
Asked by Mick Davidson:

Hello,

We've created four anchors one page that link to the relative anchors on another page in the same space.

The anchor links work in that they go to the page, but they don't work because they don't go to the specific anchor.

We've double and triple checked we're entered all the anchors properly, and can see no anomalies in the page's HTML. So we're at a loss to know why this is failing.

Any ideas what's going on?

We're running 5.4.1, Server.

Cheers.


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: Well, you installed my custom HTML for going to an anchor inside of an expand macro, which could or could not be affecting your anchors. One feature of that custom HTML is to fill in the page name when it is missing. Have you tried including the anchor without the page name and seeing if it automatically fills in the information? Have you checked the HTML code to see the id=" of the anchor to see what it says there? Beyond this, I'd probably need a bit more information.

comments: author: Mick Davidson
body: Stephen, thanks you. I think everything is ok. However the id="" does not contain the anchor name.

If you add it manually, it persists when you save it, but it doesn't make the anchor work properly.

Cheers.


author: Mick Davidson
body: Having tested this in every way possible, including copying the landing page and re-directing the link to that, it still doesn't work.

I've tried the same link/anchor on a different page within the same space and it works properly

So now I'm convinced that this is something to do with the landing page but at a level that we cannot access directly - so it's not the HTML but further down.

Cheers.

what is the benefit of using confluence for requirement gathering if i am working on maintenance type project(very rarely requirement changes)
Asked by ajinkya bhosale:

what is the benefit of using confluence for requirement gathering if i am working on maintenance type project(very rarely requirement changes)


Answers:
author: Ross Lindell _Information Officer Pte Ltd_
body: When you say 'maintenance type project' do you mean a Program? Projects have a defined start and stop, and if this requirement gathering is more perpetual, then maybe it is a Program. Confluence makes an excellent tool for documenting Program requirements, and allowing people to lookup and answer their own questions. An example would be standard operating procedures (SOPs).

If instead you do mean Waterfall (non-Agile) by 'maintenance type project', Confluence still makes a nice centralized 'single truth' for the project requirements possibly created and owned by the 'business users' . Then you can link to JIRA and break business requirement into technical tasks, add scheduling details, and provide details for the 'workers' who may be software developers (or similar).
