Batch delete of [DRAFT] pages
Asked by Rob Gilliam:

After 4+ years of using Confluence I find I have approx. 80 pages in "Drafts", the vast majority of which are untitled pages created just by clicking "Create" in the toolbar then navigating away.

Only one of these is actually a draft I'm still working on, the rest are all either obsolete or were never intended to be there.

To remove these I'm having to go to the Home page, then:

1. Select the "Drafts" list
2. Click a draft I want to delete
3. Click the '...' menu
4. Click "Delete unpublished page"
5. Confirm I want the page to be deleted

This takes me back to Home page, but on the "Visited" list and I have to start again for the next draft at step 1.

Is there a better way of removing large numbers of draft pages? If not, can a bulk delete or bulk change feature be added? (Even a bulk publish might be nice where there are a lot of draft or changed pages that need to be published simultaneously)

A while ago I wanted to do an audit of the hundreds of pages we have in our instance of Confluence, and delete outdated content. It was a similar process so hopefully my workaround will help you.

Create a new Confluence **Space** , then **Move** the draft pages to your new Space, which should hopefully be an easier process. Once all items are in the new **Space** , you can just delete the **Space** which will remove all it's "children"

comments: author: Christopher Beck

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

author: Michael Owen
body: Hello all I realize this is a year old question but I would like to know as well, how do I move all these drafts to a new space so i can delete them all? [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) and / or [@Warren](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/26839)

Thanks for your time and suggestions guys, just need a little more of a step by step approach here. they're always changing things in the interfaces and where things are located anymore, I have a terrible time keeping up.


author: Pendulum Tech
body: [@Michael Owen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1486408) I stumbled upon your post here - we've just released an app to help with this very problem.

It allows easily deleting all drafts across a Confluence site. We're working to add more features but this is a great starting point to get your content in shape. Would love to hear any feedback you have, too!

You can install it here: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233144/draft-cleaner?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233144/draft-cleaner?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Is there a way to get access to a restricted page if the admin is no longer in the system?
Asked by Sandhya Sriram:

There is a page that has inherited restrictions from the parent page. The admin leaves the company without releasing the restrictions. Is there a way to get access to that page?


Answers:
author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: Do you mean an admin of a space of a Confluence site? Anyway, there should always be more than one, in case of such situations.

A space admin can remove page restrictions. A site admin should be able to do this too.

I am no technical expert, but someone with some query language expertise can probably execute some routine to remove the rextrictions.

comments: author: Ismael Jimoh
body: I agree with [@Patrick Vanhoof](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131759) here.

As part of the off boarding of an Admin, you should always be initiating a new admin to replace him/her.

If no one has access to the administration pages (Confluence Administrator Privilege), then this will become a bigger issue as creating and managing various administrative tasks may be locked to you all.

Confirm first if this is just impacting a space and if not and you meant an overall Confluence administration then I recommend reaching out to Atlassian support since I believe only an administrator can grant Administrative privilege in the application.

Not able to export Vietnamese Unicode letter
Asked by Tran Van Huu:

Hello,

I wanted to export a space to pdf and its language is Vietnamese.

The problem is all Vietnamese characters are lost and the data looks so dummy.

Is there any way to fix it? Please advice.

Thank you 3000 times!


Answers:
author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Tran Van Huu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/330732)   
I hope you are well.

For that purpose, you need to work with your Confluence administrator to upload a supported font to Confluence.

The procedure is explained in [Create a PDF in Another Language](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/create-a-pdf-in-another-language-175473.html) .

Moving attachments with pages not always possible, why?
Asked by Silke Baumgarten:

Dear Community,

we are using Confluence 7.10.1.

We use a space as a "template space", that means we copy this space again and again and then fill information into the newly created space.

Now we use draw.io for many graphics. We noticed yesterday that our draw.ios are broken when we copy. I investigated why this is: draw.io is attached as attachment to a page and is not copied automatically.

I tried to copy the space WITH attachment, but can't select that when copying (see screenshot).

![attachment problem.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/142095i728B16C233551533/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "attachment problem.JPG")

Even my colleague as admin cannot select this for some spaces/pages. Is there any reason here?

Thank you and best regards!


Answers:
author: Marija Radovic
body: Hi,

so you copied the space but there weren't drawio attachments under three dots top right \> Attachments? (you mentioned drawio diagrams are broken)

Could you tell me the exact steps you performed in order to copy the space? Do you see the same issue in other browsers and Incognito mode?

Thanks,

Marija

comments: author: Silke Baumgarten
body: Hi Marija,

thanks for your answer :) i copied the space and after that there were no more draw.ios under the attachments, in the original the draw.ios are present. While researching what is the reason that the draw.ios are not copied with I noticed that I generally do not have the option to copy attachments (see screenshot above).

I tried this in firefox and chrome.

The steps were:

1) Select the page you want to copy.

2) Select "copy page" in the top right corner of the burger menu.

3) Try to select "include attached files and images" -\> doesn't work.

I can also take screenshots if that helps, but I think I already included the most important above.

Thanks for your help,

Silke

Why are embedded files unable to be accessed?
Asked by Matt:

Hi all,

One of the users in the confluence site I manage is unable to access/view any files embedded in confluence pages, in any space. As far as I can determine there is no reason why they should be unable to open a file and preview it or open the file and download it for viewing, they are unable to do either of those things at the moment.

What are the possible causes for this and fixes?

IN PAGE NAVIGATION
Asked by Paul:

Hi,

I want to create a confluence page as per the following link with a table of contents on the left and support of inpage navigation and scrolling as per the link:

[https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/guides/get-started/confluence-overview#about-confluence](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/guides/get-started/confluence-overview#about-confluence "https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/guides/get-started/confluence-overview#about-confluence")

Apologies in advance if this a stupid question but is there a template that I can use to meet this request.

I want to create dense material and therefore this type of navigation will be super helpful to users.

Thank you in advance,

Paul W


Answers:
author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: You can use a table of contents macro, and anchors, to navigate in a page. And use sections and columns (standard functionality or macro's) to lay out your page.

I am sure you can find the documentation.

That is for Confluence server.

comments: author: Paul
body: Thanks, Patrick. I appreciate your prompt response.

There are some specific points on the sample page that I sent that I want on my page including that the table of contents (TOC) sticks when the user scrolls the main page.

I also want the relevant table of content page item to highlight as the user scrolls the page.

I've read the documentation provided but do not a solution to support this requirement. I am using Confluence Cloud - so custom Css is not an option for me.

Any further guidance that you can provide would be appreciated. I have created a two-column page with a TOC using anchors and sections but it is very basic and lacks the professionalism and quality of the example page that I shared.

Cheers

Paul


author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: Hi Paul,

As far as I know what you ask is not possible in Confluence. But there might be an add-on that supports it.

How do I copy a table column from old table editor into new table editor?
Asked by Jake Warren:

I want to be able to copy table columns from a page that is using the old editor into a table that is on a new page that is using the new editor. The old editor had copy/paste column buttons that could be used, but I don't see this in the new editor. How do I go about doing this?


Answers:
author: Benjamin
body: Hi [@Jake Warren](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2712295) , You can copy and paste the entire table by hovering the mouse over the entire table and select all the contents of the table. Then just paste it to the new editor.

If you need to do something more granular, you may want to check out this link where another member had a similar question:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-do-I-copy-and-paste-a-table-from-an-older-page-to-a-new-page/qaq-p/1241004>

comments: author: Jake Warren
body: Doing this just pastes the ++entire++ content of the table from the old editor page into a single cell in a table in the new editor (when pasting it into a table, if pasting it on the page, it just pastes the entire content on the page with no table).


author: Benjamin
body: HI [@Jake Warren](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2712295) ,

There's a couple options to check.

1. Create the same size table in the new editor, then select the entire table in the new editor and paste.

2. Copy out into an excel spreadsheet and then copy back in.

Currently, there's a ticket raise to bring back the copy and paste buttons:

Google Drive power up linked to wrong google account
Asked by Patrick Barron:

I'm trying to use the google drive power up. It appears to be linked to different google account which has been used on my computer but is mostly not used, this google account is not linked to my trello account in any way.

This is NOT the account I use to log into trello with.

I've tried disabling the power-up, cleared saved information, logged out of everything. Log back into the correct google account, log back into trello with my correct account and the one registered to my trello account, use the power-up which says it's attached to the right account but the power up is still linked to the other account????


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@Patrick Barron](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2230033) Probably the google drive power up got associated with your second google account. Once that happened, the google drive power up saved a google drive access token specific to your second account in its own database, outside of your computer.

Possible solution steps:

* log into google with your second google drive account. see which apps have access, and revoke access for the google drive power up.
* log out of this second google account
* log into Trello and try to use the google drive power up. It now should ask for new authentication. Use the primary google account now.

Hope this helps.
automatic deadline within a list
Asked by Julian Oscewski:

Hi there,

In a board I have 3 lists with different deadlines.

List one 24 hours

List two 48 hours

List three 96 hours

All cards within this lists need the list specific deadline.

Questions:

1. Can I make a setting, that all cards which I create in List one have a deadline 24 hours?

2. Is there a possibility when a List two cards deadline falls under 24 hours, it automatic switch to list one?

Thanks,

Julian


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi Julian,

Out of the box I don't think there's a way to do this. However, the Butler Bot for Trello powerup has [support for date functions with variables](https://help.butlerfortrello.com/article/27-variables). It seems doable to set up a rule that runs daily to move cards to certain lists if their due dates meet your criteria (for example {tomorrowmonthdaynumber} ).

Looks like you might be able to make this happen for one of your needs for free (for example, moving the 24 hour cards to List 1). The [pricing](https://butlerfortrello.com/pricing.html) for Butler also doesn't seem too unreasonable for all the functions you might want for your various date moves. I think your first concern about auto-setting the Due Date in list 1 could be handled by Butler also.

Cheers,  
Daniel

We do not offer free trials of Enterprise since you can test almost all the functionality of Trello to an extent in the free version. The main differences are data security, visibility and control over content, user access controls, and SSO. It also includes personalized support and unlimited access to professional features like Power-Ups.

Is there any way to search all organizations/members using /search API?
Asked by Krishna Prasad PS:

Hello,

I've a requirement to retrieve all organizations under my account. I tried **/search** API with the help of **?query** for this. However, in query I need to try all the alphabets from 'a' to 'z' one by one. To avoid this, is there any other approach of using any wildcards like '\*' or '%' or '.' in query so that in one request itself I will get all my organizations (teams).

Similarly, I need to retrieve all my members in one shot, either using **/search?query** or **/search/members?query**

Please help.


Answers:
author: Krishna Prasad PS
body: Thanks for the reply.

Let me reframe the question.

I need an endpoint to retrieve all members using single search query. Similarly, I need an endpoint to retrieve all organizations using single search query.

Please help.

comments: author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Krishna Prasad PS](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1145331) The first endpoint above gives you all organizations your account has access to.

There's no sense in which you can "get all members in a single query" because members are either members of a board or members of an organization.

The only way you can get "get all members" of something that is not either a board or an organization is if you have an enterprise plan:

<https://developers.trello.com/reference/#enterprisesidmembers>


author: Krishna Prasad PS
body: Ok, I got it. Thank you.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Krishna Prasad PS](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1145331) check out the members/organizations endpoint:

<https://developers.trello.com/reference/#membersidorganizations>

You can then loop through these orgs to fetch all members in each:

<https://developers.trello.com/reference/#organizationsidmembers>

In the API "teams" are referred to as "organizations", I guess it's a terminology relic from when the API was initially created, and they later modified the interface to say "Teams" but didn't want to upset the apple cart by also modifying the endpoint, nor did they wish to have an endpoint "teams" as an alias for "organizations" :) Anyway, just a little peculiarity in the terminology

comments: author: Krishna Prasad PS
body: Thanks for the reply.

Let me reframe the question.

I need an endpoint to retrieve all members using single search query. Similarly, I need an endpoint to retrieve all organizations using single search query. In other words, the search query needs to have some wild card which indicates all members or organizations.

How to get a notification when a template checklist is added to a new card

what is the difference between a board and a team. e.g. are teams in boards or boards in teams pleas
Asked by Janet Alkema:

I am trying to set up Trello to track various projects with different clients. Do I set the client up as a Team and then add boards for the different projects for that client. Or do I set up a board for that client and boards within the main board for each project.

Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Janet Alkema](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2225020) Boards are collected in teams however a better option would be to have a single team and upgrade to Business Class which would then allow you to group your boards into collections.

You only pay license fees for team members so you can still invite your clients to their own project boards without paying for them.
