Exclude multiple headings in table of contents
Asked by Addie Hutchins:

I have multiple headings I'd like to now show up in the table of contents.

I can get it to not show one of them, but I don't know how to add multiple.

I saw somewhere online to put this: (\|)

but should there be a space between the heading title and that symbol or after or not at all?

For example I have two headings called "purpose" and "Jump to" - Purpose excluded is working but how do I add "jump to" to also be excluded?

purpose(\|)jump to ?

Thanks :)

author: Bill Bailey
body: Hello [@Addie Hutchins](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4697769) yes, in the macro settings, there is exclude headings. The docs say:
> Filter headings to exclude according to specific criteria. You can use wildcard characters.
>
> If the headings you want to exclude are*Overview* and*Summary* , enter`Overview|Summary`in this field.

Full documentation is here <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-table-of-contents-macro/>

comments: author: Ryan Canfield
body: For the example provided in the documentation, *any* headline with the word "Overview" in it is excluded. Headings with the text "Overview", "Overview of Work", "Executive Overview", "My Overview is the Best Overview" are all excluded.

The correct regex to use to match *only* "Overview" or "Summary" headings is:

```
^Overview$|^Summary$
```

\^ is beginning of string. $ is end of string.

Note: TOC does not use any newline characters

Note: The Preview pane is not accurate.


author: Steph Carter
body: The Preview Pane is displaying the accurate things for me once I got the format right :)

I can write RegEx in a heartbeat, if I know that I need to write RegEx! I think the in-app hint is very misleading...  

\> Enter one or more expressions, separated by commas, to filter out certain headings

Login problem
Asked by Erik Brandt:

Before login the following is shown on the screen:

---------------------------------------

We cannot log you in right now

Contact your administrator.

5e0cb7f5-c377-4511-b5d1-5da062ddec20

---------------------------------------

My administrator is not able to help.

The same problem happens when login in to jira and on two different machines.

Once the problem was solved by deleting the browser history. But this time it does not help.

Can you give me a hint?

Welcome to the Community!!

By looking at the URL, it seems like your company has integrated an IdP (Where you use the same Username and Password for all the Applications that you use in Company) with Confluence Instance. Maybe you should contact your Admin for getting this resolved.

Thanks,

author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Erik Brandt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4699178) looks like you are using Chrome. It also looks like you are logged into Chrome with a Google account. This is most likely the issue. You can open an incognito browser window and then you Google account credentials will not be used when logging in or you can use a different browser. I think this will fix your issue.

Notify Page edit - deactive checkbox by default
Asked by Heike S:

Hi everyone,

when you edit a page there is a checkbox to click to prevent watchers from being notified about changes.

I know that if you uncheck that, people won't be notified, but is there a possibility to uncheck this by default and let the user activate it when necessary instead?

In case that is relevant: we're using confluence server.

Have a nice weekend!

Heike


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: It used to be on by default in Cloud but now it is off (yay!). I am sort of surprised that it is still on in server. As I am not on server I am unsure if there's a configuration for this. However I did find this post that will instruct you on how to disable globally. [How-to-make-Notify-Watchers-in-Edit-page-mode-to-be-unchecked-by-default](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-make-Notify-Watchers-in-Edit-page-mode-to-be-unchecked-by/qaq-p/406225) . Give it a try.  

Ok so I also checked JAC and found this issue - [CONFSERVER-8276 - Make 'Notify watchers' box selected by default option available](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-8276) . In the update on May 7th 2015 it states...

*** ** * ** ***

*We're pleased to announce in the next upcoming release of Confluence we will be resolving this issue. We've tried to avoid adding more settings to the product (we've already got plenty!) and our solution for this, which we are confident reaches the same outcome is that we will now remember your last preference for "Notify watchers". So once you've un-checked it, will remember that until preference on any page until you change it back (and visa versa).*

*** ** * ** ***

Is this the way it works for you now?

comments: author: Heike S
body: As both of those links lead to information 10 and 7 years old, I was hoping to find a more recent approach using standard configuration.

We have quite a lot of occasional users who forget to uncheck more often than not. Therefore keeping the setting does not really resolve the issue here.

Currently I see two possible approaches:

* Using your first suggestion:  
  [Solved: How to make Notify Watchers in Edit page mode to b... (atlassian.com)](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-make-Notify-Watchers-in-Edit-page-mode-to-be-unchecked-by/qaq-p/406225)
* Using a Plugin:

Overwrite page
Asked by Dylan Unrein:

I'm using Workflows for Confluence and am trying to export one page to another page within the same space. I work in one page, get it approved, and is supposed to publish in another area. When I try to do the same workflow again (not a 1 time workflow) after editing, it doesn't overwrite the page it is supposed to. Does anyone have an idea on how to do that without going in and deleting it?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Community!!

Workflow for each page in this add-on is not dependant on other pages' status

Thanks,  
Pramodh

comments: author: Dylan Unrein
body: Thank you for the welcome.

Is it possible to make it dependent?


author: Dylan Unrein
body: Essentially, I want to edit a page (call it Page A), then send it to another page underneath a parent page (call it Host Page). So the structure is the following:  
Host Page original Page A  
copied/sent Page A

Then, for each revision of original page A, it needs Accepted to make it under the Host Page to be the new copied/sent Page A

Hopefully that makes sense


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Dylan Unrein](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4698967)

So there is a hierarchy here to be followed which you have to take care by yourself on how the parent pages and child pages are created

But on the Workflow part, we have add-ons that needs approval to publish the page

Here are some add-ons that may help you, please explore them and let me know if you have any queries

Resolving broken TinyURLs after move to new server
Asked by Nadja Pollard:

We had a server fail and therefore moved all of our Confluence content to a new server. Within our products, there are links to Confluence topics using the TinyURLs. Now that we're on a new server, all of them are broken. Thousands of them. Each product has different version release timelines and some are no longer having new releases, but we need our users to be able to access that content.

What is the easiest way to resolve all the broken links?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Nadja Pollard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/77242) The tinyURL points to a static URL. If they are no longer working something in the URL structure changed when you restored your instance. You should be able to see the end URL that the tinyURL is redirecting to. What is different between the old URL and the New URL?

comments: author: Nadja Pollard
body: Different IP address is the only change, at least unless there's something in the background that IT did and I cannot see. The backup was corrupted and we lost some recently-added content. However, it was all we had to go by so re-added the lost content.

The TinyURLs for each Confluence page is what changed on the new server. For example, one link from within our product points to a topic that originally had the TinyURL ending:

/qARyAg

On the new server, that same topic has the TinyURL ending:

/ZoH9rQE

I'm looking into the Redirection for Confluence add-on to see if this helps resolve the issue.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Oh good lord! What a mess. I assume that the root domain name remains the same? And this happened with the restore of a backup?

comments: author: Nadja Pollard
body: The root domain name is the same. And yes, we used a backup to build the new server.


author: Bill Bailey
body: Yeah, I have never used the TinyURLs. The standard URLs are far more durable and even if the page title changed, Confluence will try to redirect you.

I did find this reference that shows [how to generate the tiny URL](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-programmatically-generate-the-tiny-link-of-a-confluence-page-956713432.html), which makes me think that the pageIDs changed. If that is the case, you are hosed.

I fear that you are at the point of having to replace your URLs. And I think that surprisingly, the pretty titles are more durable that either the tiny URL or pageID.

For reference:

[confluence-page-urls-contain-pageid-instead-of-the-page-title-278692715.html](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-page-urls-contain-pageid-instead-of-the-page-title-278692715.html)


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Nadja Pollard](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/77242)

There is hashing that happens with tiny URLs

So by that method what I would suggest is if you can manage to decrypt the tiny URL and map those tiny URLs to resolve to a new pages in confluence that would solve the problem

Please let me know if this feasible if you can manage where you need to decrypt the tiny URLs and map them to new confluence pages

Thanks,

Pramodh

Allow Guests to Subscribe to Page Updates
Asked by Trent Franklin:

Hey all,

I've been looking for a way to allow guests to subscribe to a public page to receive notifications of updates. Our use case is that there are hundreds of guests that visit the page for things like release notes, security notifications, etc. We'd like to provide a way for them to easily sign up to receive notifications when a new update has been posted.

I'm struggling to find a way to do so. From what I can tell my options to either be a confluence user and subscribe/watch, or maybe to set up an RSS feed. Is there anything that can be done to allow guest users to watch a page and get email notifications? If the answer is to force them to sign up for an account, does it just need to be a regular confluence account and not tied to any specific company (ex: eat off our license count)? Lastly, just to note, I've yet to look in the marketplace to see if there's anything that could be of use.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: They need to be Confluence users logged in to your instance. This is going to be an issue with many Cloud solitions that are out there, unless you move/copy/publish this content to your website and enable user accounts there.

Your idea of an RSS feed might be a work around, but basically you would determine what goes into that feed, and subscribers would get notices for everything in that feed.

Here are details on setting that up:

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/build-an-rss-feed/>

You could created different types of feeds based on labels.

So that is your two options:

* Custom RSS feeds
* Replicate your content on your website and set up user accounts there.


author: Pramodh M
body: Hi [@Trent Franklin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1601981)

In short

Public Page with No permissions you can create a RSS feed

Page with restrictions or space permissions - Need license count

comments: author: Peter Hochstrasser
body: Hi [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)

I'm missing the "What's old and better in Confluence Server vs. Cloud" in the list above.

To name a few just from the top of my head, all of them experienced in the last 11 months:

* code block allows to collapse and displays perfectly not only when editing but also when reading
* no need for Expand which breaks Numbered Headings and cannot be inserted into tables or in general cannot be inserted into another macro
* does very seldom destroy pages upon save
* can align graphics any way I want
* graphics size in edit mode equals size in read mode
* can size graphics exactly and to the pixel

So you see, not everything is cheesy here, and I wonder if other people have similar experiences.

Atlassian should really jump at these comments, you know, yesterday we stood right at a precipice, and today, we made a giant step forward...

Can I make a redirect on a blog post?
Asked by mbiondi:

Hi,

I have a blog page where I need to make a redirect. We copied the content of the blog in a new page and we need to make our users refresh the old blog page so they can view the new one.

I've read this article of atlassian about redirect but it refers only to server and data center platforms (we have confluence cloud) <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-redirect-confluence-users-to-a-new-url-976758203.html>


Answers:

In cloud you would need to use an app [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud\&product=confluence\&query=redirect](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=redirect)

There is a feature request for this functionality that you can vote for here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70279>

You can also touch each page and add a link on the page that the user would need to click to take them to the updated content. We did this for a small space that had less than 200 pages. It was all manual work and requires the user to click a link. No ideal but does not have an app cost associated with it.

Archived pages don't remain restricted
Asked by Malin Rathjen:

Hi there,

I saw that article (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Do-archived-Confluence-pages-remain-restricted/qaq-p/1743012>) that says that archived pages in confluence will keep their restrictions.

In out space that is not the case. If I archive my pages that are only visible for me, they get visible for all in the archive.

So are there any settings I have to change so that archived pages will keep their restriction? We already use an extra 'Archive' -Page where we manually add the pages we want to archive, so that they keep their restrictions. But from my point of view it should be possible or would be more usable to have that function in the 'Archived Pages'.

Thanks for your help!

> Before archiving a page, be sure to check if it has inherited permissions. If it does, then the page is relying on one of its parent pages to control who can view and you might be exposing it to a wider audience by archiving it. To avoid this, set view restrictions on the page you're archiving.
