Edit ?Children Display? Macro to avoid restricted pages
Asked by Maria Garcia:

Hi,

Some of our Confluences pages are still in progress so viewing and editing are restricted. However those pages are displayed in the Children macro used in the main page. This is not desirable so how to avoid it?

How to hide the restricted pages in a Children Display Macro please?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Welcome to the community!

To answer your question: Restricted pages only show up to those users who have the permissions to view the page. Users without the view permission won't see the page listed in the page tree or the Children macro.

Kind regards,

Confluence will show you all pages that you are allowed to see.

This means that you will also see the pages that are restricted, however other users that are not allowed to see the page won't see it in the Children Macro.

If you really don't want see the pages yourserlf you will have to replace them to somewhere out of that page tree

How to exclude ToC on excerpt-include pages
Asked by Ralf:

I have a main page which includes several other documents with excerpt-include.

The problem is, that the included documents have there own headline structure. When including such documents, the the main document headline and ToC is completely messed up.

is it possible simply to exclude the headlines from an excerpt include (keep the structure autonomous), so that the headline structure of the main document keeps its own numbering?

Team Calendar notifications are turned off after page refresh
Asked by Helena:

Added the Team Calendar to our Confluence page. Set the reminders for some of the event types. As long as I don't refresh the page, I'll get the reminders. As soon, as I refresh the page, the notifications are turned off. And it all repeats when I turn them on again.

How can I get the reminders to sent?

As admin in Jira and Confluence I have on some pages no access
Asked by Michael Winkler:

Hi. I am admin in Jira and Confluence and I can administrate all the projects and spaces without restrictions on the main Space, but as I see, some pages in some spaces are restricted and not available for us as admins. How can I do my work if I can't access them ? What is necessary to do to have access on all the pages in this specific Confluence Spaces? I think those who created this pages do not know what they are doing. We as admins have from time to time the request from PM to give access to someone, but based on this restrictions we can't do it :( How can we regain admin rights on these pages to can administrate them also ?


Answers:
author: Svenja Lorenzen
body: Hi [@Michael Winkler](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1445844),

as an Space Admin or as an Administrator in the "confluence-administrators" group you can access restricted pages from the space settings.

This means you can remove restrictions from pages, even if the page restriction prevents you from viewing the page. Go to **Space Administration** \> **Permissions \> Restricted Pages** .

My second tip: If you really have the feeling that the users on your instance use the restrictions function to often, you can disable the restrictions permissions in the space settings. You can than leave it to a small group who have the rights to restrict pages.

But before that I would talk to the users who resticted the pages. Ask them why they have restricted these pages. From my experience, some users don't understand the way Confluence works.

Have a nice day,

Admin can't add user to space
Asked by sabrina_wannags:

Dear Confluence Community Members,

in my confluence space i got admin persmissions but i can't add new users.

System respond:

"User could not be found. Please confirm their existence with a Confluence Administrator."

The user i try to adding is from a external company, or different part of company (region). Do I need to add the user at another system first?

(Also i have temporary admin sessions, which requires an extra login, does this have any effects?)


Answers:

body: Hi [@sabrina_wannags](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4470792) ,

You need to confirm with the site administrator whether the user has been granted access to the site.

When your activity log/stream stops working in Confluence, what are some way to resolve this?
Asked by Jeremy Price:

I can see that the Activity Stream/ All Updates window on my Confluence stopped showing the new changes that were being made. I have tried the Context Indexing option in the Admin section but that did not resolve the issue, unfortunately.   

After a new page is created I would assume it would show on that Activity/All Updates section but it doesn't and it also doesn't show when searching for the newly created pages.  

Since the Content Indexing Rebuild option didn't work from the UI is the only other option to resolve this issue is to do the following on this page link below and rebuild it from Scratch?   

[How to Rebuild the Content Indexes From Scratch on Confluence Server![Dashboard-Stage-.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150643i70D081B2E177B29B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Dashboard-Stage-.png")](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html)


Answers:
author: Sandi Ameen
body: We have ran into the same issues with our search and indexing. The Rebuild button sometimes doesn't trigger a rebuild and we have had to restart to trigger a rebuild. In addition, we have also taken the extreme measure of rebuilding from scratch. This has been an intermittent problem for us over last several months. We are running Confluence 7.4.6, I will be hoping someone else has a better solution than restarting and rebuilding from scratch often.

Can you make completing a checklist mandatory
Asked by Rob Williams:

I want to be able to add a checklist and have some the items within the checklist mandatory to be completed.

Is this possible.

Cheers


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Rob Williams](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3075017) the question really would be "what does mandatory mean"? As [@carolyn french](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/664664) noted, you could stop a card from being moved to the next list unless all checklist items in a mandatory list are complete, but if the workflow you're considering doesn't involve moving a card to the next list then that's not going to work.

Another option might be to notify someone if they haven't completed a checklist, or certain checklist items, within a given timeframe.

However, one might ask why there are checklist items that aren't mandatory in the first place.

Can you elaborate on the details of this workflow?


author: carolyn french
body: Hi Rob, and welcome to Community!

I was just watching the Trello webinar on Butler automation, and you can do an automation so that if all the checkboxes are not ticked, the card is put back into the previous list with a comment on it for the user to complete the checkboxes. That was super cool!

Would it be possible for you to use some modification of this by splitting off the mandatory items into a separate checklist (instead of just some) or into custom fields?

Best,

Carolyn

author: Ghiona Tamir -Unito-
body: [@Karlene Mercer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3073485) Power-Ups can definitely help you out here - I work for Unito so I can answer any questions you might have about our tool.  

As suggested by [@Jodi LeBlanc](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1186643) and [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) , you can create a separate board and then sync your chosen card to that board using the [Mirror Power-Up](https://trello.com/power-ups/5c75708a72eecc4565ecacf5/mirror) so it gets automatically updated in both boards.  

Good luck!
How do I edit a document that has been attached to a card in Trello? (e.g. a Word or Excel file)
Asked by Kate Hardin:

I am new to Trello and would like to know how to make the documents that are attached editable - i.e. any Word or Excel that is attached now becomes read-only and can't be updated or edited.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Kate Hardin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3073021) you can't edit an attachment in your browser, you have to download it and open it in the relevant document editor.

In order to edit in the browser, you should attach a link to the document for example in Google Docs or Office365's web editor, then it will open in a new tab and you can edit it there.

But there's no way to edit documents in place inside the Trello interface. NoteJoy allows you to type and edit notes directly in Trello's web interface using their Power Up ... I don't think any of the other big document storage providers have the same option in a power up.

comments: author: Kate Hardin
body: Thank you - and good tip about Google Docs


author: Stef
body: [@Kate Hardin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3073021) Hi Kate! :) Is the document locked/read-only if you download it from the card it was attached to? Or are you not able to make any changes when viewing the document from within Trello? I tried attaching and downloading a .docx file from my own card to reproduce, but my word processor allowed me to edit after opening the downloaded file.

Can I add Collections to Trello's side menu?
Asked by Ivan Gravat? de Azevedo:

Hi guys, does someone know if it's possible to add collections to the left side menu on Trello?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Blair at Atlassian
body: Hey Ivan,

Thanks for reaching out about Collections in Trello!

Right now, Collections live within a Business Class team's main board page and there's not a way to move them into the Trello side menu on the left. I think this would be a great to be able to view Collections and have access to them from lots of other places within Trello!

I'll register your question as a suggestion, because I think it could be helpful, too!

comments: author: Robert Zorich
body: HI has this been implemented? I really need to be able to see groups of Boards at the top level. I understand there are ways to see "nested boards", but the collections viewable from the sidebar would be much more useful. We are in a law office and have about 200 cases, which, in one way of looking at it, can each be boards, but that results ina huge pile of stuff in the sidebar to look at. Collections allows us to categorize these, to reduce the cluytter, but then have to hunt around to find the collections and then the board, negating any time savings. Thanks!

body: Hi [@Kseniya Stepanova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3072713) the screenshot you shared makes it a little difficult to tell if you're on a Mac or PC, or on a laptop or desktop, but if you're on a MacBook you can use two fingers on your trackpad to move the board left or right. If you're using a keyboard, the left and right arrow keys should move the board as well. :)


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Kseniya Stepanova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3072713) in addition to the comment from [@Stef](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1338690) you can use the arrows and jk keys and the arrow keys to move horizontally:

<https://trello.com/shortcuts>

This won't scroll, but when you're in a browser you can also use your browser's standard text search to find the name of a list within the browser to jump to it (can't do this from the desktop or mobile apps though).

PDF trello attachments "Failed to load" - LInk broken
Asked by Ben Krall:

I've been having trouble lately getting pdf attachments to load from a card. When trying to open the pdf from a card I get the error "Failed to load PDF document". opening the link in a new tab doesn't work either... :/  

Currently I use chrome, but I've also tried this on Microsoft edge with no luck.  

Any ideas as to why pdf links break when added to the card?

Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Ben Krall](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2800096) hmm that error doesn't look like the Trello interface. I could be wrong but I think this might actually be a problem with your PDF reader that the browser is attempting to use to read this document. What happens if you click "Open in New Tab"? Because that link goes completely outside the Trello interface, and loads a link directly from Amazon S3. If you see the same error when doing that it's certainly not a Trello issue.

user getting all notifications from entire Trello board, but not setup to watch entire board,
Asked by Sarah Vande Velde:

I have a team board and one of the member is getting all of the notifications for that particular board. He is not setup to "watch" the entire board only certain cards.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Sarah Vande Velde](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3071766) this will be difficult to demonstrate. The best way to demonstrate this for the purposes of reporting an issue to support would be to jump on a free video conference (such as Skype or appear.in) with your team member, then get them to share their screen. Position the video so you have your browser and their screen showing simultaneously, then use a screencast software such as useloom.com to record your screen.

Demonstrate that you can trigger a notification in their account they they should not be receiving, for example get them to show in their screen that they are not watching the board, not watching a list, watching only certain cards, etc. and then add a comment that doesn't mention them to a card they are not watching and show that they see a notification for that.

Sorry :(

Well, I did a screen share with him this morning and tested as you outlined and he received the notifications. We've gone through all of the settings that we can and I've compared his setup to others that are on the board and they are the same.
