Issue with Unarchive a space
Asked by CONNIE NGUYEN:

I have trouble with the Archive/Unarchive feature in Confluence when trying to archive the content in the Space's Overview and replace with the new content.  

To archive the old content in the Space's Overview, I clicked on the menu and select "Archive":

![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.54.27 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124090i7765D4D91F4A074A/image-dimensions/518x266?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.54.27 PM.png")

By doing that, it seemed to archive the entire other pages inside this space:

![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.57.02 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124092i4BAFE0E0D2E7AF71/image-dimensions/255x362?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.57.02 PM.png")

I tried to bring back the other pages that I didnt intend to archive by going to the Archived pages and restored the archived page from there:  

![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.59.45 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124093i1C63A0DF404778EE/image-dimensions/465x205?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 1.59.45 PM.png")

However, after clicking on Restore, it didnt bring back the other pages of the space:  
![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.02.44 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124095iD789BBCA38FAA266/image-dimensions/520x321?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.02.44 PM.png")

When i went into Space Setting, here is what i saw:  
![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.04.19 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124096iD53A75322A595031/image-dimensions/436x368?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.04.19 PM.png")

When I clicked on the archived page inside Archived pages, the other pages of the space showed up on the left-side bar:  

![Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.07.07 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124097i768B3D55029E0C33/image-dimensions/802x453?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2021-01-04 at 2.07.07 PM.png")

So, it looks like the whole space was archived, but the Space settings didnt match the document for unarchiving the space. I need help to bring back those pages ASAP.

body: Hello [@CONNIE NGUYEN](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3998684),

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

Testing on my local Confluence, when I archived the Overview (that was created automatically, not a home page set by me), all the pages were kept on the page tree.

Then, if I set another page as the home page, only pages under that parent page will show on the page tree.

In this case, before setting a new home page, it's necessary to make sure that all those pages are a child of the one you need to set as the home page.

Please, restore the page, add it as the home page again. Then, move the pages on the page tree to a new parent that will also be the new Overview. Archive the old Overview and then, select the parent that contains all those pages as the new Overview.

Please, give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Regards,  
Ang?lica

Jira/Confluence Cloud integration with Okta - Atlassian Access required?
Asked by Kal Njos:

When we go to Jira/Confluence Cloud next year, do we need Atlassian Access to integrate Okta authentication with those Atlassian products or can we integrate with Okta without Access?


Answers:
author: Italo Qualisoni [e-Core]
body: Hi [@Kal Njos](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1471924) ,

Atlassian Access is required in order to integrate Atlassian Products (JIRA/Confluence...) with Okta or any other supported IDP.

See more in below articles

Dropdown menu list for a table in confluence page for selection
Asked by Subramanian:

While the below piece of HTML code helps in creating drop down list, how to extend this for the new row of records created for a column

```
<div>
 <select name="Criticality">
 <option value="high">High</option>
 <option value="medium">Medium</option>
 <option value="low">Low</option>

</select>
</div>
```

Moreover, the value selected from the dropdown is not getting stored. When the page is re-opened, the first value in the dropdown is getting displayed for the row.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence does not handle content in HTML. You should be using macros or apps that can provide drop-downs, not simple html in the body.

Cannot edit a confluence page, keep getting a message that my connection timed out.
Asked by Sofie Rostova:

Published page. Did not have this issue at first. Now I cannot edit the page, it gives a slider with a message that connection timed out.


Answers:
author: Capi [resolution]
body: Hi [@Sofie Rostova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4209975)

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

That looks like a connectivity issue that will be solved on its own in some minutes. If you have checked that the issue is not on your side, I would monitor the [Confluence statuspage](https://confluence.status.atlassian.com/)for updates. But right now my Confluence Cloud is working fine.

Hope you can edit soon!

comments: author: Sofie Rostova
body: Hi [@Capi \[resolution\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1205339)

Thanks for getting back to me. I have been having this issue for days.

How do I check if the issue is on my side?


author: Capi [resolution]
body: On your side: make sure that you are not blocking Confluence cloud with reverse proxies, firewalls, banned IPs etc.

Is the issue happening only with that one page? Have you tried creating a copy and editing that? Have you tried using the + shortcut as opposed to the Create button?

There are a couple of threads that may help you solve this:

* [Atlassian cloud IP ranges and domains](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/atlassian-cloud-ip-ranges-and-domains-744721662.html)
* [Connection timed out error](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/The-connection-timed-out-Check-you-can-connect-to-the-internet/qaq-p/1033372)

As those threads state, the Confluence log should have details of what is creating the timeout.

If everything fails, and contrarily to my instinct... you will indeed have to contact the [cloud support team.](http://support.atlassian.com/contact)

As per my understanding on your post, currently confluence don't have that option. However, we need to rely on the Atlassian market place and use 3rd party app. Link below with comments and rating. The best part is the availability of "free trial" for the app at the moment.

author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Rebecca Kornblum](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3867121),

On Cloud, that won't be a walk in the park, unfortunately. There is a fairly good explanation for this in [this support article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-can-i-find-which-pages-users-have-recently-viewed-954251927.html).

On an additional note - and thinking through on your mention of *articles* - if you are referring to KB articles in Confluence related to a JSM solution, there is a standard report in Jira Service Management for that. Just not sure from your question if that's of interest to you.

I'll share it anyway. From a Jira Service Management project with a knowledge base attached, navigate to **Reports** and find the **Requests Deflected** report. It has a metric called *Articles viewed from portal* *:*

*![Screenshot 2021-01-04 at 14.15.56.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/124022iACE307501996BE5C/image-dimensions/250x185?v=v2 "Screenshot 2021-01-04 at 14.15.56.png")*

In my demo site, there aren't any. But if there are, you can see which pages where viewed and how many.

show all pages in a space
Asked by Angela Salunga:

I need to see all pages created inside a space, I noticed the cloud version does not have a navigation/tree on side bar.


Answers:
author: Walter Buggenhout
body: Hi [@Angela Salunga](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3742022),

Yes it does, at least when you are in a space. Maybe you are at the **Home** page of your Confluence site or the navigation bar may have been collapsed.

In the first scenario, navigate to any space or page and you should see the navigation/tree appear on the left hand side. In the second case, either press the "**\[**" key on your keyboard to expand the navigation or look for this icon near the top left of your screen:

Table Column Widths are being reset when editing the page
Asked by LHofman:

If I want to have a table with either a lot of columns or just a few wide columns I can make the table scrollable and larger than the screen by dragging certain columns to be very wide and back to thinner afterwards (already a very annoying workaround). When I publish the page this works, but after someone edits the page again, the table columns are being reset to just 1/x of the screen size.  

I just want to make a table for x users to note down some information daily, putting either the users as columns or the days and creating a table per week, the columns just get way to thin and the text becomes harder to read.

Is there any way around this? I also thought about creating a second header row in the middle of the table, to split the columns in two, but this is also no longer possible.


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: If you have the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app installed for your instance, you may try the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro and its changing column width feature.

Here is an [example](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Advanced+table+cells+formatting#Advancedtablecellsformatting-Changingcolumnwidth) with screenshots - just wrap your table in the Table Transformer macro and type in a custom SQL query.

comments: author: LHofman
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) , unfortunately, we don't have that app installed and I'm not sure that it's worth it for such a basic feature that I hope will get fixed/added by confluence in the near future.


author: John Johnson
body: Yes this is a sad state of affairs indeed. But I have published a work-around here that is at least workable until Confluence is fixed with this most basic table functionality:

If you are using confluence cloud, they will have a big difference in system UI and user experience.

Our team is very much used to that template. Is there similar template or almost like that kind of template on cloud version ?

Push excel sheets in confluence to sql
Asked by aditya bandaru:

Hello everyone,

Can someone please help me with my below query.

I will upload excel sheets in confluence. can you please suggest how I can get access these files and insert them into SQL?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I would not upload them to Confluence. There's nothing in Confluence that could read data out of a sheet and push into another remote database, you'd need to find or write apps to do that.

It would be far easier to write something that can push your excel data directly into your database,, no need to use Confluence at all for this.

comments: author: aditya bandaru
body: Thank you Brough for your response.

My team members are using confluence to share the data(excel sheet). I am looking to create SQL queries and dashboards out of it.

Can you suggest what is the best method I can follow.

comments: author: Hannes vd Walt
body: Another questions to checklist formatting and your screenshots above:

On the iphone Trello app it is possible to collapse \& expand multiple checklists in one card. This is a nifty feature if you have multiple long detailed checklists.

I have been trying to do the same on the desktop web-browser platform but it seems there are not such a feature on the desktop Trello version.

Is this correct or am I just overlooking the functionality somewhere?

If this feature is not available on the desktop version, how can I request/recommend it as a possible future update?

Thanks guys!
