Why does Bitbucket ask me to commit after I clone a repository
Asked by Steve Arrants:

If I close a repository, Sourcetree asks me to commit all the files back to the repository. I've made no changes, so why it is asking me to commit the files?


Answers:
author: An Nguyen
body: Sourcetree is just a wrapper for Git. There is a good chance that your repository is missing (or not configured) ".gitignore" file. The most common occurrence that I see is IDE specific files and folders like \[.vs, .code, .ideal\] are not include in the ".gitignore". So if you just open the project to look at code, AND made no changes yourself, your IDE could still make changes to setting or config files in the repo. Therefore Git and Sourcetree will see a difference and will ask you to commit.

There are some complications like if the ".gitconfig" is updated then you will have to update the cached (tracked) files so that Git and stop tracking it.

I would need more specifics to be able to help more.

Performance issue in SourceTree 4.1.7 [243] on MacOs Monterey 12.3
Asked by Michael Ruminer:

With the update of SourceTree to 4.1.7 (243) on MacOS Monterey 12.3 I am having significant performance issues in the app (only in the app not other items in the machine). When clicking just about anything in the app I get the rotating busy color wheel for an extended time and finally it responds to the click (usually it responds). I checked for updates and the app says that 4.1.6 is the newest version available (an older version).

Are others seeing this? Did 4.1.7 get pulled for issues and I need to uninstall and reinstall 4.1.6?


Answers:
author: Michael Ruminer
body: I uninstalled 4.1.7 and reinstalled 4.1.6 and this seemed to resolve my issue.


author: Michael Brian Bentley
body: I tried to install 4.1.7 but the web site only actually provided 4.1.6, and the updater in SourceTree only offered 4.1.6.  

I'm running 4.1.2 as I didn't have to delete every thing in Library/Application Support/SourceTree to try get it to work like you apparently have to do with 4.1.6


author: astound
body: I just tried uninstalling 4.1.7 and installing 4.1.6, but experienced the same behavior, unfortunately. I even tried [wiping my preferences](https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/how-to-wipe-sourcetree-preferences-412484640.html) in between.

Remote repositories not showing in Sourcetree for Mac
Asked by Valentin Peralta:

I am trying to use Sourcetree with our bitbucket repositories for the first time. I downloaded version 4.1.6 and installed it on my Mac. I was also able to add my account and authenticate. However, I am unable to see any of our remote repositories.

comments: author: erbecks
body: Look -- people use these tools to speed up their workflow. They are working on their own software and shouldn't have to deal with your wild FIXes. It is frustrating that I committed/pushed one project at end of day then, when I tried the other 2 projects, I got the error. In the intervening time I didn't change any passwords. I simply clicked on the tab for the next project. Your NUMEROUS steps / methods did NOT work. After multiple uninstalls / re-installs it started working. Once would be tolerable. This was not the first time!! At the risk of anthropomorphism, it really seems like your SourceTree is able to detect when I have the least time to deal with this. Note also that one of your Auth steps redirects to a web page asking for id. When I enter my BitBucket ID it tells me that ID is already in use. I know it is. That redirect obviously wants to create a new account. My advice is to repeatedly reinstall until it starts to work. Since Atlassian is all about project tools maybe you should create a Jira issue and actually FIX THIS PROBLEM. This would eliminate customer frustration and many many many hours of lost time.

Confiforms: how to have > 1 layout for registration&editing shared (pointed to) by multiple views
Asked by Nat Grauman:

Hi all. We have one Confiform with many different views, basically tableview macros on separate pages. We'd like one group of these views to all share the same layout for input (ie registration?) and edit, and another set of views to use the same **different** layout.

I understand that in the Registrations Control I can use the **Use the layout from main 'ConfiForms Registration Control'** setting to determine whether I point to one central layout or, if unchecked, a layout defined on the current page. However I would like several of my views to point to the same layout that is **not** the one defined on the same page as my form definition lives. In essence, I'd like to be able to point some views to **layout a** and some other group of views to point to **layout b,** but I don't see how to do this. I hope this makes sense! [@Alex Medved](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541550) any ideas?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Nat Grauman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5484705)

At the moment you can reference only the Registrations Control (form) view that is configured with the ConfiForms Form Definition. Such form view is then considered as the "default"

If you ware on data center version then consider creating a user macro with a form's layout and then use it inside the Edit Controls/Registrations Controls

comments: author: Nat Grauman
body: Thanks Alex, where would I need to place that User Macro? In my view (different page where the form definition lives) or in the form definition?


author: Nat Grauman
body: Also, after I define the User Macro, how do I reference (ie point to) it from a different page?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: So, a user macro (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/writing-user-macros-4485.html>) with a custom contents (what you have INSIDE the ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView) now, for example, but placed as a template in the user macro). Then just putting this user macro inside the ConfiForms Registrations Control macro body

Is content status available via API?
Asked by Doug Roberts:

[This article details how to add a content status to a Confluence page](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-a-status-to-your-page-or-blog/). Is the added content status available via API?


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Doug Roberts](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5557812)

Welcome.

This can be done via the API, you wil need to use the update page endpoint.

<https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put>

comments: author: Doug Roberts
body: I might be mistaken, but I want to get the status, so I think I'd use a GET method

However, looking at the link above, it looks like that endpoint can return the statuses (*Valid values:* *`current`, `archived`, `trashed`, `deleted`, `historical`,* *draft* `) but not the custom `**Content Status**` mentioned in the article above. It's not helpful that the names are so similar. `

`I've been able to pull the status (usually "current" or "archived") but my team has applied `**Content S****tatuses**` like "Verified" or "Pending Updates" (see screenshot) and I'd like to pull those via API.`

author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Doug Roberts](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5557812)

Good to hear it worked.

The is the API endpoint for GET a page, [/#api-pages-get](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-get)

But looking at this, this is only the Conlfuence status and not the page custom status you can define.


author: Doug Roberts
body: You misunderstand:***it did not work***. That endpoint does not provide the information I'm asking for.

I want to get the "Pending Updates" (as an example) custom Content Status my team has added to pages.

Thank you for your replies, but they are not addressing my question.


author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Doug Roberts](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5557812)

I edited it my previous response the endpoint should be classifiaction-levels

But this gives a feature disabled result..


author: Doug Roberts
body: Still no, but thanks.

I get the feeling that since Content Status still isn't searchable or a filter option ([this question from 2022](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Search-by-page-status/qaq-p/2136506) hasn't been updated to say it's fixed, at least), the API doesn't support it either.

Again, this is very specifically looking for the custom **Content Status** [as noted in this article](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-a-status-to-your-page-or-blog/). Not the document status (current or archived) and not the classification level or anything except that very particular feature.

ETA: Also noting that this specific request (at least for filtering on that attribute) is here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-74398> and not implemented in the 2+ years since it was requested.

Is there a way to set Confluence Personal Space defaults to private?
Asked by Patrick Lagdamen:

I just recently found out that when creating articles or using your personal Confluence space, anyone in your organization can see it's contents. Is there a way for admins to set the default visibility of Confluence Personal Space to private?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: samanta_aragao
body: Hello Patrick,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

When we enable the use of Personal Spaces in the instance, we do not have the option to define a default permission just for Personal Spaces. Therefore, access will be granted as defined in the Default Space Permissions for all spaces you create, including spaces and personal spaces.

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/339257i9668D04C91816AF2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

What I usually suggest to be done:  
- The user who owns the personal space creates restrictions for the pages that he would not like others to have access to.  
He can even create a page structure of pages and child pages, because once I restrict a parent page, the child pages are restricted.

I hope this information has helped you!


author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Patrick Lagdamen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5557825)

Yes you should be able to change space permissions (and restrictions) and decide who to allow ability to view the content

Adding a new user to org and unable to active this user?
Asked by Carl Dubois:

Need some assitance when activating a new user. Do I need to verify a domain as part of managed accounts or can I just add a member without LDAP or AD?


Answers:
author: Hans Polder
body: [@Carl Dubois](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5387578) ,

Managed accounts only apply for users of Atlassian Guard (which is paid). Since you're on the Free tier, I assume that is not being used in your environment :)

Basically, in the most simple setups, you shouldn't need to do anything special, especially if you invite/add a member as admin yourself. Once that person clicks on the confirm-link they will receive, they are prompted to create an Atlassian account, after which they should have access to your environment.

Can you share what issues you are experiencing in more detail? Maybe add some (redacted) screenshots?

Hide Pages in Navigation Tree
Asked by Brookebarton:

Is there a way to hide active pages from displaying in the left navigation? I'm creating a database of resources based on topic - for example, a topic might be "Payroll" and there are 15 resources that fall under Payroll. I don't want to show links for all 15 related resources.

[@Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/815120) is correct on the technical solution.

From the **content** perspective, I would create a new space for Payroll pages and apply restrictions for the entire space.

In the long run, it will be easier to manage - both in terms of your documents life-cycle management AND in terms of permissions and access.


author: Bal?zs Szak?l _META-INF_
body: Hi [@Brookebarton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5557810) ,

With our App, [Advanced Content Navigator](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218865/advanced-content-navigator-filter-pages-changes-statuses?tab=overview&hosting=cloud), you can do this!

Steps to show only some pages for a tree:

* Insert the macro on any page you wish
* Use the filter feature to filter for the expected pages. You can use labels, for example.
  * You might need to add labels to the expected pages first
* Press "Save this view", and next time you load this page, it will show only what you just set!

With ACNC you can also

* show unread/updated pages
* manage page statuses + add a page assignee
* filter for many things, in multiple spaces, including whiteboards and databases

Let me know if you like it! :)

Does the Free Version of Confluence allow for anonymous users
Asked by Gene Johnston:

We have less than 10 users of Confluence and want to switch to the Free Version, but we need to allow anonymous users.

No.

HOWEVER. There is a way.

If you want to make your Free Confluence content available to anonymous users, you need [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app which takes your Confluence content and builds a static website for you (see my site as an [example](https://docs.emplifi.io/))

The advantage is that you can also have that site on your own domain.

Yes, the app costs money but gives you better control over what gets published to the Viewport site and when.
