Asked by Vinay Sharma:

For Confluence Server to Atlassian Confluence Cloud migration what are the options available including the timeline? What is the most preferred options? How long should it take?


Answers:
author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Vinay Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1521468) ,

for Confluence Server to Cloud migration, I'd recommend using the Confluence Cloud migration assistant : it's a very easy way to test and perform a migration to the Cloud.

You have a few different options for migrations :

![Choose+a+migration+method+-+Confluence-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/132922i7D3DFB4AACD8D0BD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Choose+a+migration+method+-+Confluence-2.png")

You can find all the documentation here : <https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/compare-cloud-migration-methods/>

Let me know if this helps,

Add Connect app user to groups
Asked by Ulysse Mizrahi:

I am developing a Connect app and need to access all the pages in the Confluence spaces for the account. However, by default, the app only has access to public pages (I am using JWT for authentication) - I am guessing this is because the app user atlassian creates for the app does not have higher permissions.

I cannot however find a way to add the app user to any groups, or to give it higher permissions.

Is there a way to do this ? If not, how can I manage to access all pages in the space ?


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi [@Ulysse Mizrahi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4289378),

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this question. But anything related to app development is usually better asked over on the [Atlassian Developer Community](https://community.developer.atlassian.com).

If you re-post your question here, make sure to link your thread here as well, so people finding your question on here will be able to find your other thread easily as well. :)

Is there a way to make a Jira macro show the creation date?
Asked by James Yaakov Sonnino:

I want to make a table in Confluence in order to keep track of bugs open in Jira and I would like to know if there's a way to make the creation date show up automatically


Answers:
author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi [@James Yaakov Sonnino](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4289294),

Yes, it can be done quite easily. In Confluence, insert the macro "*Jira* " on the page ([Insert the Jira issues macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/) ). In this Macro you enter the JQL query you want to monitor, in the Display option check that it is Created.

When I copy the whole doc content into Confluence page, images are missing
Asked by evan:

Can this be solved, or any suggestions?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@evan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3938111)

I am assuming you are talking about copying a document from another application like Word. You will need to do an import to get the images to come in. If copying from a web based document then they should come in. What are you specifically coping from?

comments: author: evan
body: Yes, i copy a document from Microsoft Word. I copy texts and images together, but i only get texts in the confluence page.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: As [@Fadoua](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/655791) states below if you want to bring word documents into confluence the best was is to import them in via the word macro.


author: Nathan James
body: I want to be able to copy paste word file data with pictures, and as noted above, only the text comes in. When I use the Confluence Macro, I cannot edit the content in confluence for future changes. This is not what I want.

Is there and easy way to copy and paste the word file data with pictures in the correct place into a confluence page?


author: Fadoua
body: [@evan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3938111)

You better add the document using the word macro if you don't want to add the attachments manually.

Copy/paste from any other application to Confluence won't always give you the expected results.

You can also copy/paste the text only but then add the attachments manually.

Best,

Fadoua


author: Fadoua
body: [@evan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3938111)

Where are you copying from?

You need to add the images as attachments especially if you are copying from a different software.

Best,

Fadoua

comments: author: evan
body: I copy from microsoft office word docx file. There are lots of images in the file. I use ctrl+c to copy the whole content in the file, and use ctrl+v to paste into confluence page, then the images miss.

Including Task Report shows outstanding tasks that don't exist
Asked by Bronwyn Shimmin-Clarke:

I've just added Task Reports on our Confluence pages.

We have a problem where in some cases it shows tasks and the page they are supposed to be on...but those tasks do not show on the linked page.

I feel like there are ghost pages somewhere that have outstanding tasks but I can't get to the page to close the tasks.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to find or fix this problem?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Bronwyn,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thank you for raising this question! We'll need to look at your Cloud site database and see if the tasks still exist somewhere or if they are cached.

If you bring it to the Confluence technical administrators for your organization, they can raise a ticket with [Atlassian Cloud Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact). We need permission to access your site, and only your administrators can provide access.

If they have any trouble getting that ticket created, please let me know!

Take care,

How do I fill out a variable template?
Asked by Angela Trigg (Quarles):

I used the Employee Handbook template to create a page and the header says Welcome to and then the word Company is inside angle brackets. I can't figure out how to change that to my company name. It only lets me delete the word, not the brackets. It seems like it's a global variable I can set and use, which would be great, but can't for the life of me find where these are set.


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Angela,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It's possible to customize the system templates, so you can edit the Employee Handbook, and then when you create new pages, it will have your company's name.

Please, go to Cog icon \> Global templates and Blueprints.

On this page, you can see all the templates, so search for Employee Handbook and click on Edit (the first one).

How do I prompt a user to enter a label when creating a page from a template?
Asked by amanda watson:

I would like to have a report of "hot topics" on the home page of my space. I am not sure how to indicate a page is a "hot topic" other than using labels - as I can get a list of pages tagged "hot topic". I want it an easy way to label a page other than at the bottom because I feel like that is too easily overlooked.

Is there an easier way to indicate a page is a hot topic other than using labels? Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@amanda watson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4288813)

Welcome to the community.

When you create a template, you're able to add default labels to the template so that they will be applied when you create a page from that template. Otherwise, it's not possible to prompt people to add their own labels. My recommendation would be to use the Instructional Text in the template to let your team know this. That text won't appear in the page that is created from the template, it's only there to help your team fill out the template as required.

comments: author: amanda watson
body: Thank you! I appreciate your recommendation. I think this is the best solution at this time.

Initially, I was hoping for something to click to add a label to the page because the label button seems like an afterthought and not a "field" in my template. I didn't want people to miss it.

Thanks for your input.

Enable page permission with a checkbox
Asked by Joachim Prinsloo:

Is there a way that I can set permission on a specific page without giving access to any other content in the space or the space itself?

We have users outside of our organization who requires access to specific areas of our confluence but only on a page level. I was wondering if it is possible to have them all in a specific user group granting that user with read access to a page?

I don't want confluence to automatically copy the permissions to all child pages or up to the parents. The permission should only be applied on the pages of my choosing.


Answers:
author: Fadoua
body: [@Joachim Prinsloo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4288744)

In order to grant access to a page you have to grant it first to the Space.

If there are any permissions on the parent page you should grant them to the user as well

Space -\> Parent page -\> Child page

For someone to access the Child page, they have to have access to both the space and parent page.

I hope it makes sense.

Best,

Fadoua

comments: author: Joachim Prinsloo
body: Thanks [@Fadoua](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/655791) ,

This makes sense. I'm sitting with a use case where a parent page applies to only internal users and the child page applies to both internal and external users. so if I give the external users access to the parent page, then they would be able to access that content which is not allowed. Similarly, if I grant access to the Space, the external user would be able to access ALL content in that space correct?

Is there no way around this? I cant split the parent and child content into different spaces as that won't make sense and managing duplicate content is not a sustainable approach which is not an answer either.

Any other ideas of how it might be possible to achieve this otherwise I would have to contact Atlassian to get their opinion on the matter.

Thanks

J


author: Fadoua
body: [@Joachim Prinsloo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4288744)

May be not the best suggestion but the way I do it in every job is to have inside a space three pages:

* Public
* Private
* Archive

Public is the one that is open to all users within the company.

Private is totally restricted.

There is no way you can restrict a space then grant access to certain pages only to people who are not allowed inside the space

Same goes with child pages where the parent has been restricted. Only people with access to the parent will have access to the child pages.

I hope I am not confusing you.

Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have more.

Best,

Fadoua

Display json output from external resource on Confluence page
Asked by Peter-I:

Hi, I have a request to display json results from API call to external app onto a confluence page. json output is available when you point to specific URL. The paid option is <https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TBL/JSON+Table+Macro>, however this plugin is way too expensive for our one use case.

Are there any other plugin options or user macros that allow for this?


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi [@Peter-I](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3877406),

Pulling data such as JSON from external sources is specifically what our app [PocketQuery for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1211199) was designed for. PocketQuery is very powerful and can also connect to Databases. It provides a sophisticated templating mechanism that lets you fully control how your result is presented on the Confluence page. This means you could for example render your JSON as a chart if you so desire. If you want to try it out and encounter any questions while doing so, let me know! I'll be happy to help. :)

Cheers,  
Sven

comments: author: Peter-I
body: Thanks Sven, I'll take a look at the add-on. Problem is that I have one use case, and it will be difficult to build business case for purchasing it. Look like a great plugin.


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: [@Peter-I](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3877406) , check if your company uses the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app (search for the Table Filter macro in your macro browser).

We added the [Table from JSON](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+JSON+macro) macro to the app 04.11.2020. It suits your case and supports outputting data from a URL.

How do I move a space from one Confluence instance to another?
Asked by Dave Hattig:

Hi,

My Company is splitting from a partner company and we need to pull out our Confluence spaces prior to leaving.

author: Bill Bailey
body: I have used this method to move spaces from a Cloud to server, BUT you must pay attention to compatible server versions. Typically you need to be on a fairly recent Server version.
