Changing the Heading Level of Included Page
Asked by Adam Jacobson:

We have a number of 'source' pages that are intended to be used as objects within a larger document. Each of the source pages begins with a Level 3 heading.

Authors choose the objects they need and {include-page} them into a larger document. Most of the time, heading level 3 is suitable. However, sometimes the heading structure of each larger document may need to change depending on its use.

Ideally we would be able to allow the author to change the heading level of the source pages to Level 2 or Level 4 when they are included in a document.

Does anyone have any experience handling this scenario, or have any suggestions? The documents are exported, so the change needs to be made to the stored content itself not just what's displayed on screen.

author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: The [projectdoc Toolbox](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/1YEp) (**commercial license** ) allows to adjust section levels on transclusion. But it does so by the use of its own set of macros. The tip [Heading Level Transposition](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/VAH1Aw) shows how this works.

We use this feature and export the pages with Scroll Products to PDF or Word. Since you explicitly have requirements according to the stored content, I am not sure if your use case is different to ours and therefore may not be covered. The solution is generated on the server side and is not applied in the browser. But I need to recommend to check your requirements with a trial version to be sure. In case you have questions, please get in touch!

Please note that **I am one of the authors of the projectdoc Toolbox** . So my answer is certainly **biased**.


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: This tends to work with lists, like when including a page containing a list within a list, it will create a sub-list with appropriate numbering.

That said, I've never found a way to manipulate headings. I was hoping that applying the heading style I want it to start with on the Include macro itself would do it, but no luck.
Possible to move labels to the top of pages in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Adam:

Currently labels on the default theme are in the bottom right for each page, is it possible to move these to the top right? or even below page title?

Can't seem to find any setting to allow this.


Answers:
author: Bo Chen
body: I would also be interested in that. Currently, the labels are at the bottom of the page, not very user friendly and intuitive!


author: Hazwan Ariffin
body: If you're using Confluence Cloud (one that ends with atlassian.net), this is not possible. For Confluence Server, it's also not possible but it's definitely customizable. With the help of add on such as [Refined for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/15231/refined-for-confluence-sites-themes?hosting=server&tab=overview) this may be possible. Try it out!

How to turn off email notifications for organization
Asked by sdudik:

Hi there,

I'm trying to turn off email notifications for everyone in my organization.

I found that I have to turn off Confluence Content Notifications Plugin but it's disabled for change.

Any ideas ?

![Screen Shot 2020-03-22 at 20.50.15.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/87474i38B52558592EEEB8/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-03-22 at 20.50.15.png")

Thanks


Answers:
author: Hazwan Ariffin
body: Not in Cloud. :( You wouldn't be able to do this in Cloud. Even Atlassian Support wouldn't be able to do this, I'm afraid. The notification would always be enabled in Confluence Cloud. The only way is to have everyone unwatch the space / page (if you don't want users to receive a notification when someone created a page in a particular space). See here - [Manage watchers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/manage-watchers-218271870.html) if you'd like to know how to do that

Can all users that subscribe to a chat channel be automatically added to a confluence page?
Asked by Selma Al-Salam:

I've been tasked with developing a Confluence collaboration page for a group that is currently using a chat channel (Navsea fusion).

I believe that on the chat channel i can add a link to the confluence document. This allows chat channel users to have awareness. But syncing the users between the confluence site and the chat channel seems as though it could be cumbersome.

I'm wondering how much these two tools can work together?


Answers:
author: Hazwan Ariffin
body: If you want the user in your chat to be added to your Confluence when accessing the Confluence doc that has been shared in your Chat channel, what you can do is  

- In your Confluence Cloud site admin section under site access menu, you can set your company's domain in there so users with approved email domains can join with or without an invitation and then access the page, in condition that the space and page is accessible to all Confluence users. For example if user 123@abc.com doesn't exist in Confluence yet, if you abc.com as the approved email domains, anyone with the domain that accesses your Confluence would automatically be added to your Confluence application

Question about Customized export PDF on Confluence Cloud
Asked by Jeffrey Zhang:

Hi,

I am trying to create some customization for export PDF format. We are using Cloud version.

I went to Space Settings -\> Look and Feel -\> PDF Stylesheet, I add some script to change the page setting and margin. Then I export one of page from this Space. But the exported PDF file doesn't show any changes.

What did I miss?

Thanks,

Jeff


Answers:

body: Did you refer to script for this KB - [Customize exports to PDF in Confluence Cloud](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/customize-exports-to-pdf-724764825.html)  

Share your script, so we can check what went wrong. Or you can reach out to [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com) and they'll be able to dig this further.

comments: author: Jeffrey Zhang
body: should I download the default CSS rules then edit on it? or I can just add the changes?

another question, How do I check if I have space admin permission?

I created this space. from permission setting, I can see the green mark on my name under Admin in the group of Individual User.

To hide page metadata read this article:

and to hide comment bar, do the same steps, and paste this css in space stylesheet:

```
#comments-section {display:none; }
```

comments: author: Mike Urbach
body: Thank you for the suggestion. I am using cloud based confluence and the article says it only works on server and data center platforms. Also i could only find "pdf stylesheet" which i changed but it had no effect. Maybe that instruction is outdated?

You can just remove "Add comment" permission from your space permission setting.

Watching a page and subpages?

Choose @self for the space parameter and the blogs should be shown.

Automatically embed jira link when creating user stories from Confluence.
Asked by Trevor Adams:

Currently I'm using the Product Requirements page in Confluence to list out user stories and requirements in the table that exists on the page. I can highlight the text in the table and create one or all user stories in Jira. However, a link to the created user story in Jira is not embedded in the table on the confluence page.

This video literally shows exactly what I'm hoping would happen. You can jump to the 1minute mark where it says "Confluence automatically embeds your new issues alongside your requirements": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reiLHEIlXDc\&feature=youtu.be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reiLHEIlXDc&feature=youtu.be)

Jira and confluence having trouble communicating
Asked by Chris Schulte:

I have jira and confluence running on a centos server under an apache http reverse proxy. The tomcat addresses are <http://the.jira.server:8080> for jira and http://theserver:8090 for confluence. They are mapped <https://the.jira.server> for jira and <https://the.jira.server/confluence> for confluence.

The application link for confluence to jira is <https://the.jira.server> and the application link from jira to confluence is <https://the.jira.server/confluence>. linking directly to ports 8080 and 8090 gives a network error.

When I try to connect, link, or create a space from jira, I get various error messages like "We couldn't create a space for you. Confluence might be down, or you might not have permission to create a space" or "We're having trouble communicating with the application. Wait a minute, then try again."

Digging around, we thought in might be a cookies issue, so I tried a fix #2 recommended here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/logging-into-another-atlassian-application-logs-me-out-of-confluence-268043930.html?_ga=2.131449295.1748244074.1584646255-972934708.1584646255>

That just gave me a proxy error. Right now, we can't try mapping jira to <https://the.jira.server/jira> because it is in use and starting, stopping, and possibly breaking it would be bad.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris


Answers:
author: JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_
body: Hi,

you can mix your two mappings on a single URL.

Either you use <https://the.confluence.server> and https:/the.jira.server

or you decide to have <https://the.jira.server/jira> and <https://the.jira.server/confluence>

Cause:

The proxy must decide for each request to which application to route the request to. As <https://the.jira.server> is a part of <https://the.jira.server/confluence> the proxy might have situations where he can't decide what to do. This is mostly done with a session cookie BOUND TO THE SERVER DOMAIN part of the URL. So the cookie for Jira \& Confluence will be the same, when it really isn't, as each application creates an own session cookie.

You can try to play around with rewrite rules, but I'm not sure, if this will work \& is a stable solution. Go for either of the solutions above but don't mix them up.

Best

JP

comments: author: Chris Schulte
body: Thanks JP,

I was afraid of that.

When I set this up I thought of confluence more as an add on and didn't think that they wouldn't share cookies.

Thanks again,

Epic Link not working in Jira Macro in Confluence
Asked by Neil Gower:

All of a sudden when we try to embed Jira content in Confluence its not rendering correctly. You cant add Graphs from Jira either. If you use the Jira filter macro then the Epic link field has stopped showing the name of the link and the coloured box, and just shows the ID. Everything is still fine in our Jira instance (all are on prem).

This happens in Chrome and Edge, and is consistent.

Why is my X-axis with week numbers turned into decimal numbers instead?
Asked by Torkil Sinkaberg Johnsen:

I am trying to build a graph from a data table.

Table data looks like this:

```
WeekNum | Count
---------------
2019-01 | 15
2019-02 | 35
2019-03 | 32
...
2020-12 | 87
```

Now I want to create a line chart for this table. I am using the "Chart from Table" macro.

I use the Count on the Y-axis and the WeekNum on the X-axis.

Problem is that the chart summarizes the numbers for 2019 and 2020, so my line graph has only two data points, 2019 and 2020, with the count sum for each of the years, while I want to display the graph week-by-week.

The X-axis also shows just 2019; 2019,1; 2019,2 ... 2019,9; 2020, as decimal numbers, instead of the weeks I want. There are only data points on 2019 and 2020 though.

X-axis looks like this:

![graph.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/87338iAF6CF23962362EA1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "graph.PNG")

If I use a column chart, the X-axis labels are correct: 2019-01, 2019-02 ... 2020-12, but not with the line chart.  

Why is this?
