Is it possible to export redlines prior to publishing edits?
Asked by Angel Walton:

I'm housing policies in Confluence that require Board approval prior to publishing updates. I can see the option to "view changes" when in edit mode, but I can't get the system to export, print, or any other option when showing the changes that have been made.

The "redline" version will need to be submitted for review/approval and once approved, the policy owner will be able to publish the changes.

Please let me know if I'm missing something that would allow me to do this.

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

No, a page that is in edit mode cannot be exported out. But there are apps that would allow you to keep the draft/review version of the page separate from a approved/published page. There are a couple of apps in the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) that can do this. We are currently using [Comala Document Control](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215729/comala-document-control?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) in order to get the review workflow, and then you can use [Comala Publishing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/143/comala-publishing?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) to move an approved page to a public space. I believe [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) has a similar functionality.

Displaying Archive status on a page
Asked by Hank Church:

When archiving a page, i want to add a label or some kind of indication to users that the page is archived. Also, i'd like that designation to show up attached to the page when it shows up in search results.


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Hank Church](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5309416) To add to what [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962) has said, you could add a custom status called ++Archived++ that you apply to the page before you archive it.

Of course, this would involve editing the page. If you're going to edit the page you could instead add a Heading 1 paragraph at the top of the page with text indicating the page has been archived, is out of date, should not be used, etc. You can even apply a highlight to the text or add emojis to make sure people don't miss it.

If going this route, I would create an excerpt for this purpose that you could then insert on the pages to maintain consistency.

I'm not on Premium, so I don't know if there would be a way to add this to the page and then archive the page through an automation.

comments: author: Hank Church
body: Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that there would be some kind of automation that would add the "Archived" message (like the one you state above) to the page once it is archived. I forgot to mention that we are on Premium.


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Hank Church](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5309416)

To my best knowledge, archived pages do not show up in search results (and they're not visible in the page tree).

I purposefully archived a page with a dedicated *Archived* label, searched by the exact name, filtered results by label and the page was nowhere to be seen.

Archived pages appear, and can be browsed, in Space settings \> Manage content \> Archived pages.

comments: author: Hank Church
body: hmmm...everything that i am reading says that archived pages are NOT excluded from search results, unless you add the label "archived" and then filter your search results so that they exclude pages with the archived label.

Import URL with markdown and display via Scroll Viewport
Asked by Vendula Lucakova:

Hello,

Is there a way to import an .md file from GitHub via URL to Confluence Cloud and then display the page as a part of documentation via Scroll Viewport?

Is it possible then to update the page dynamically as the .md file in GitHub changes?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

author: Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM
body: You have to use a [Confluence app that integrates with GitHub](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=github).

I don't have any specific recommendations but if I were to try one, based on what I see in the marketplace, it would be *GitHub Macros for Confluence* and/or *Markdown for Confluence*.


author: Vendula Lucakova
body: Thank you, [@Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5333848), for the tips - *Markdown for Confluence* works great.

And thank you, [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962), for the tip for the Atlassian Community Event in Prague - I will be there and verify info regarding the Viewport.


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Vendula Lucakova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5551349) and welcome to the community.

There's a free app [Markdown Importer For Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1231894/markdown-importer-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Back in the day, I experimented with Github integration apps (on server) and they did work with public repos (as far as I remember).

As [@Jim Knepley - ReleaseTEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5333848) suggests, there's plenty of apps that can help.

As for the Viewport compatibility, I know the app supports some apps for OpenAPI integration.

Having said that, you can experiment with iframe macro (use the md URL and adjust the dimensions accordingly).

It's an interesting use case and worth pinging their support. I can also bring it up with them next week at the Atlassian Community Event in Prague.

Can't show all columns within a table on 1 page ( after using table filter macro)
Asked by n0216209:

Hi Community!

So I attempted to use the table filter macro in order for users to filter on all headers within a table. The table view is now truncated, and I can't fit all columns to 1 page. It only shows the first 4 columns then the user would need to use the slidebar at the bottom of the page to view the rest of the columns. I tried to fix manually along with "full width" , "fixed width" and nothing seems to work. Any ideas are appreciated!! Thanks- Steve O.


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@n0216209](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4788647) ,

In general, macros tend to grab a bit of a page free place for the provided additional elements. For example, on the first screenshot the upper table is a plain table and the lower table is the same table but wrapped in the Table Filter macro with filters in the header. The page is set to fixed width by default.

![Thu 2-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345819iAB548B8F281849A6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 2-2.png")

As you can see, the upper table is a little bit wider because the lower one has an additional button on the right.

If you change the Table Filter macro settings and switch to the classical filtration panel, there will be no any additional buttons and the tables will look pretty the same:

![Thu 2-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345820iDFCA6FD6A4E2B616/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 2-1.png")

If your case differs from the described, you may refer to [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14). Please attach the page storage (upper right corner -\> menu ... -\> View Storage format), if you don't see the option, ask your Confluence administrator to do it for you. We'll be able to recreate exactly your page and look into the issue. And tte support portal is confidential, of course.

comments: author: n0216209
body: Thanks for the info.,, that didn't do the trick. is there a way to wrap the text in a column? essentially, one column is a file path so it's a lot of characters. the more I relegate the column to the right the more add'l columns I can view on 1 page. I assume there's a way to fit all columns so the user can see everything without using the slidebar but I can't figure it out. Thanks!!!!!


author: Stiltsoft support
body: If the issue is not in the macro as I've understood from the initial question but the original table is quite big and contains long strings without spaces, you may set the specific column width for each column using the Table Transformer macro and its FORMATWIKI function: <https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/advanced-table-cells-formatting-58426218.html#Advancedtablecellsformatting-Changingcolumnwidth>

And maybe the best option will be to use the Table Spreadsheet macro where you'll be able to wrap text within cells, apply filtration and so on using familiar Excel-like interface.

duplicates in task report
Asked by Tomas Ekelund:

Is there a way to get rid of duplicates in report.

I have tasks in each weeks meeting minutes. When i copy an new one all the tasks is duplicated in the automativ report list that i have created.

Can i avoid this somehow?


Answers:
author: Nicolai Sibler
body: Hi [@Tomas Ekelund](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5584845), welcome to the Community!

The fact that a new task appears in a report is expected behavior. It doesn't matter whether it was newly written or pasted.

If it is desired to track the open tasks on the pages, I'd recommend the Task Report Macro.   
To display the tasks accurately, you should work with labels and configure the macro accordingly. Fortunately, the tasks can also be completed directly in the report macro without having to visit the page on which the task was originally set.

Hope that helps!

Nicolai

Include page - content not showing
Asked by An Bach:

Hello :)

I have 2 public spaces. Let's call them A and B.

Space A has a page called WorkA

Space B has a page called WorkB (with content from WorkA using /include page)

I link page WorkB in SpaceB using WorkB public link.

But when I share SpaceB and go onto WorkB link, it says that I don't have access to see the content.

Did I do something wrong?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@An Bach](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5584783) and welcome to the community.

(edited answer)

A public link points to a single page as a single entity. So when you share a public link, you share that page without its relationship to other pages in that space.

A public link to a page is different from the page's URL in a public space.

<br />

**regular public space URL:**

<https://d-art-s.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DT/pages/106889292/Storyteller>

**public link:**

<https://d-art-s.atlassian.net/wiki/external/YWNmOGQwOWI4YTcxNDdkMGFjMjU1YTZlZTU0NzViMTY>

And as you can see... you don't see anything :) And yet the page available in the public space. But the public link can't doesn't have permission to that red text background which is a property of a Karma macro from a page synced from another space).

Public space can handle that, public link can't.

If your spaces are public, you don't have to use dedicated public links and can just link to the actual Confluence URL.

(Nevermind my 20 years old poetry :D )

Make my teammates watch all pages related to my team
Asked by Z Q:

hi hi

our user has requested the feature below

As a team manager, I would like to be able to make my teammates watch all pages related to my team and get email notifications to changes/discussions on those pages.

a few nuances to this request:

* all pages related to my team may be within my space, or outside my space
* my team is not so small and is growing (adding/removing watcher to my knowledge is by individual user level instead of group)

does anyone know any solutions to this?

thank you!


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Hi [@Z Q](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3514450)

Ah, you mean auto-assign them as watchers to a certain set of pages? I read this three times, thinking about how to politely tell you to point your manager to management classes.

There are several ways to achieve this. One would be to use automation. You could create a group for his team, if one doesn't already exist, have automation look at this group and add these users as watchers to each of the pages.

You could also script this via the API with the same steps, but you'd run this from outside Confluence.

Unable to persist the state in Forge Macro Config
Asked by Xin Quan Teoh:

Recently i'm implementing a dynamic form in macro config in Confluence Forge app and encountered a weird behaviour in macro config.

The columns select field options are retrieved via resolver function to fetch all the available property columns based on the Type field. The initial state of the columns is empty array (\[\]), this is why you would see \`No options\` at first.

![Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.50.09?AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345676i136842C945EF393E/image-dimensions/287x399?v=v2 "Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.50.09?AM.png")

After the resolver invocation has been executed in useEffect, the Columns select field has been filled up with the result from resolver.

![Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.50.19?AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345677i9B8AC79DC6674EBE/image-dimensions/229x459?v=v2 "Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.50.19?AM.png")

However, when i try to select the next column, the macro config somehow reset the state to init state and the Columns select field became 'No options' again

![Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.56.49?AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345678i96D61AB198368B3D/image-dimensions/285x617?v=v2 "Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.56.49?AM.png").

Therefore, i would need to go through the fetching process again to fetch the available properties.

![Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.57.05?AM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/345679i2CFE336E8018208D/image-dimensions/199x428?v=v2 "Screenshot 2024-09-05 at 10.57.05?AM.png")

I would like to know is it an expected behaviour for macro config in forge? Seems like it impact the user experience where the user has to wait for the fetch for every option selection.

body: Hi [@Xin Quan Teoh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4996666)

Please check your Forge codes in Select onchange function. According to what infromation you've provided, the options got from the Server side is okay, but have issues when you select some of the options.

Hope it helps \& Good luck
