body: Hi Jessie,

Hard to tell what is being used, but OBS (<https://obsproject.com/>) is a great open source option for screen recording that could achieve this result.

Are templates functional in the <10 user version?
Asked by Peter Gagne:

I've applied both Retrospective and Daily Stand Up templates to their associated pages. Each template shows plainly on the respective pages, but the fields are locked. i.e. I can't input a "Date", "Team", "Participants", or "Start", "Stop", "Keep" doing sections.

I'm expecting to enter data in these fields, what am I doing wrong?

body: Hi [@Peter Gagne](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4876592) welcome to Community.

Could you provide a screen capture of what it looks like when you are trying to edit the page?

comments: author: Peter Gagne
body: Hi [@Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3327113) ,

Thanks for responding. After further reading and research, I think I'm expecting an interactive table, like a data-entry table, vs. what I now believe is really a static page.

Can you please confirm that these templates and pages are actually static pages that are published and not interactive pages that can be edited ....without having to get into edit mode and then publish?

newbie here


author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Templates are pre-formated pages, but you can enter data and even modify the elements of the page (like delete part of the template you don't need) when you are in edit mode.

Once you publish a page and are looking at it, the interaction is limited: you can activate some table sorting, open or close an expand macro.... But to add or change content you need to be in edit mode. Think of Confluence pages like Wikipedia pages and not like Google docs.

With this difference between what you see in the edit and published modes, you can do nifty things like add a table of contents macro in the edit mode, and then get automatic anchor links to all the headings in your document in the published mode.

Is there a way to make a Jira Software Project Board (not roadmap) visible in Confluence?
Asked by Laura Paradis:

My company has both the Jira and Confluence cloud products. I am currently holding my to-dos in the Kanban style project board in a Jira software project.  

I'm trying to make the board visible in Confluence. I expect there would be a macro for this, but I can't find one. I see one for a Jira Roadmap, but I not think the roadmap will work for our workflow purposes.   

Thanks for any assistance!


Answers:
author: Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_
body: Hi [@Laura Paradis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4924127)

Well why don't just embed Jira issues based on a status? Create a table or three columns and insert Jira macro.

Yes it is not the full board but should give you this information within Confluence.

Is there a macro to show the parent page link on a child page?
Asked by Colleen Hoetjes:

I'm a huge fan of the children macro and use it all the time.

How to get SpacePermissions using Java Confluence API (> 7.3.0)
Asked by Krishna Gottapu:

Earlier we used to get Space Permissions using below code

com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space space = spaceManager.getSpace(spaceKey);

List\<SpacePermission\> spList = space.getPermissions();

But now we are upgrading to Confluence 7.13.4 and spaceManager.getSpace(spaceKey) is deprecated and I can't find a way to pull com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space which has most of the information.

According to Confluence 7.13.4 API ( <https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.13.4/com/atlassian/confluence/spaces/SpaceManager.html#getSpace-java.lang.String-> ) " since 7.3.0, use [`SpaceService.find(Expansion...)`](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.13.4/com/atlassian/confluence/api/service/content/SpaceService.html#find-com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.Expansion...-) in plugins and [`SpaceManagerInternal`](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.13.4/com/atlassian/confluence/internal/spaces/SpaceManagerInternal.html) in core where applicable ", So when I use above method to pull Space it returns a new **Space** ( com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.Space) class instance with minimum details unlike old one.

When I try to use SpacePermissionManager (<https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.13.4/com/atlassian/confluence/security/SpacePermissionManager.html>) or PermissionManager methods accept only com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space but not new **Space** ( com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.Space)

Without the old Space (com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space) class I couldn't find a way to pull SpacePermissions.

Thanks in advance!!

External collaboration for Confluence free plan users
Asked by Vasiliy Gorbenko:

I saw such answer in Questions area:  

*"If you invite someone outside your organization to your space and you have premium they will be able to be added to the space and do whatever you set them up to do. In this case their account gets a premium license on your instance. If their account is associated with another instance that is free then they will also have a free license on that instance."*  

I'm confused, could you please help me to clarify.  
Let assume we have next preconditions:  
- user have free license on another instance,  
- user account gets a premium license on our instance,

Does it mean that you can assign such user, and it will be free for that user, but will cost some money for you?

Sprint Health gadget is not displaying results in Confluence page
Asked by vray:

Hi all,

I have 2 Scrum Teams and I am trying to display the Sprint Health gadget for both. For one of them, the gadget is displaying the results correctly. But for the other, I am getting this error -  
We couldn't load the sprint data for the selected board..

I was thinking may be there is something wrong with the Scrum Board. So, i tried Sprint Burndown gadget for the same team. Surprisingly this gadget is working fine.

Could you pls help. I have added the screenshot for both teams.![Sprint Health Gadget not working.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/197110i93B5EFFABB20AC8D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sprint Health Gadget not working.png")

Create Shareable Link for Scheduled Post
Asked by Sarah Kaplan:

I have a piece of confidential information that I want to schedule to publish at a specific time. I need to have a shareable link to insert in another communication to this post before it is published. Is there a way to get a share link on a post that is scheduled to publish, or does it need to be live first before a link can be generated?


Answers:
author: Traci Wilbanks
body: Hi [@Sarah Kaplan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4923844) ?  

Short answer no, you can't share a link to a post that is scheduled to publish.

Draft URLs can be shared with others with whom you want to collaboratively edit. Meaning a page that hasn't been published doesn't have a URL that just lets people view it.  

For your specific use case, you can draft your confidential content, restrict the content to yourself, copy the restricted page's URL, and insert the URL into the other communication. Your need to schedule publish and remove restrictions isn't something currently supported. You will have to do some manual things to make this happen - either remove the restrictions just before the scheduled publish OR let the scheduled publish happen and immediately remove the restrictions.

How do I find or sort users inside the confluence-users group?
Asked by Angela L_:

How can I search for users in groups more efficiently?

We've got \~1,500 users in our confluence-users group. I see no way to sort, filter, or search for users inside this group aside from visually looking through the list. When I view the group members (Users \& Security \> Groups \> confluence-users), I just see a paginated list of 50 users per page, with three columns at the top of the page: User, Username, and Email.

It looks like the list is sorted by the Username column, and there's no way to change the sort column or to search. So when I need to find a user, I have to page through---one page at a time---using Ctrl+F to find their email address or username, assuming I know it.

![confluence-users group.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/197099i81916BF9C6E6FA9C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "confluence-users group.png")


Answers:
author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Angela L_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3738435) ,

this is a known limitation in Confluence. In JIRA, users and groups management is more simple but not here.

There is an external app availble on the marketplace that could help you on that. Please try [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219943/user-and-group-management-for-confluence?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219943/user-and-group-management-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

Hope this helps,

Fabio

comments: author: Angela L_
body: Thank you for the info. I appreciate your help.

But this is yet another example of why I'm so frustrated with Confluence and am recommending that my organization find a different solution. Such incredibly basic functionality like sorting a list would cost my organization an extra $1,500 per year. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Is there a document that talks about formatting a Confluence server parent page or child page?
Asked by Justin Lafollette:

I am looking for a "how to" guide that will assist me with formatting a Confluence server parent or child page. Any help is appreciated!


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hey [@Justin Lafollette](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4891981)

There are so many options out there. One option would be to turn the parent page into a sort of overview page. This is great for situations where the child pages all hold similar content, like if they're all project pages. The Page Properties and Page Properties Report macros can be really helpful for this kind of thing.

My team wrote up a whole guide for this sort of thing [here](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs/misc/viewing-100s-of-confluence-pages-at-a-glance-with-overview-pages) and also made a [video](https://www.k15t.com/rock-the-docs/videos/confluence-best-practices/your-content-at-a-glance-with-overview-pages-in-confluence).

CVE-2022-22965
Asked by Frode Aasegaard:

Hi.

Considering to upgrade the onsite server version of Confluence to version 7.13.5 (long term). I am however not sure if this security issue is fixed in this version.

Does anyone know if this version includes a fix for this security issue?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Frode Aasegaard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4534636)   
I hope you are well.

Confluence on any version is vulnerable to CVE-2022-22965 on **very specific conditions**:
> All the following pre-conditions must be met for successful exploitation:
>
> * The product is running on JDK 9 or higher,
>
> * An attacker tricks a user into making a malicious HTTP request,
>
> * The request contains a valid Cross-Site Request Forgery token (note that the [same-origin policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy) prevents an attacker from obtaining a user's valid token),
>
> * The targeted user is logged into the application with '[system administrator](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/managing-global-permissions-938847142.html)' privileges.
>
> * ++Jira and Confluence only++ : The targeted user also has an active '[secure administrator session](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-secure-administrator-sessions-938847890.html)' (note that these sessions only last for 10 minutes by default).

The suggested workaround to mitigate possible problems is as follows
> Customers with impacted on-premises products can downgrade from running JDK 9 or higher to JDK 8 or lower. This will eliminate the possibility of exploitation. These instructions can be used for changing the version of Java for Jira and Confluence:
>
> * **Jira** : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/change-the-java-version-used-by-jira-server-765594330.html>
> * **Confluence** : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/change-the-java-vendor-or-version-confluence-uses-962342397.html>

is there a way to email all users in confluence
Asked by Vanessa Berry:

When changes on the site happen we have a need to notify the users. It would be easier if we could grab all the emails or click a button. Is there a macro that would make this easier?


Answers:
author: Dominic Lagger
body: Hi [@Vanessa Berry](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4896081)

If I understand you correct, you want to share the created page to all users?

You could just make a group and share the created page with this group

* [Share a page or blog post](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/share-a-page-or-blog-post/)

If you have confluence server, there would be a possibility with a user macro, but I've never send mail via a user macro.
