Edit restrictions
Asked by Marzena Zaczynska:

Hi,

I have edit rights on couple Confluence pages, but for some reason I'm missing "Edit" button.

When I click on the Restrictions ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf73/files/991927719/991927725/1/1580792222009/restriction-icon-grey.png) icon I see "Can edit" next to my name. But no Edit options.

Sorry, if the solution was already shared on other threads, I visited many, but not seen this specific case.

Sometimes, space admin forget to add permissions to individual/groups in the space and add view/edit permissions to them directly in the pages. Please confirm if that is not the case here.

You will have to check wi the Space Admin if you have Edit Permissions.

"No matching pages found." in the suggestions when moving a page
Asked by mb:

Hello,

this is happening on version 7.13.0 (which one of our customers is running):  
When trying to move a page, no matter what you type it will always say "No matching pages found" in the suggestions, even though the pages exist.

Does anyone know why the suggestions are broken and could help us fix it?

This doesn't happen in our Confluence (same version).

It is possible that the content index is out of date, you can try [rebuilding the search index](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-index-administration-148844.html) (based on the size of the confluence site it may take several hours, so doing it during non-business hours is recommended)

Smartlink doesn't work
Asked by Raphael K?sters:

Hi everyone,

normally, Confluence convert an inserted URL into a Smartlink. On some pages of mine this process works fine, but on some other it doesn't, so that only the URL is shown. I therefore can't choose the options "inline", "Card" etc. I don't press CTRL+Z, while Confluence does the conversion.

I insert URL from Airtable, which is supported by Confluence.

Any ideas?

Best Raphael


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hi [@Raphael K?sters](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4606594),

Can you check if the page where the smartlink doesn't work is built with the new or old editor? If it's the old one, you should get a banner in edition mode suggesting to convert it to the new editor. Smartlinks only works when using the new editor.

Hope this helps,

- Manon

comments: author: Raphael K?sters
body: Hi [@Manon Soubies-Camy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1215212) thanks for the hint which leads me to this article: [Change-to-your-content-is-in-your-hands](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/Change-to-your-content-is-in-your-hands/ba-p/1324476) . The problem I described appears on my personal space, not on pages I created new. It seems, that my personal space was created, when the old editor was enabled. That would explain, why the Smartlink as a feature of the new editor doesn't work there. Confluence didn't convert pages created with the old editor to the new editor, so that in my case I can work with both editors, depending on which page I have to edit.


author: Stavros_Rougas_EasyApps
body: While generally URLs convert fine to Smartlinks they do not for the odd site like <http://loom.com/> or <http://imdb.com/>.

We built an app called [Link Manager](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227360/link-editor-by-easy-apps?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) to bulk convert links and users complained they these two do not work.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Raphael K?sters](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4606594) If you paste a url in confluence page, it automatically converts it into smartlink. Is this happening for any new urls you are pasting or the existing one's ? For existing one's if you have changed the view to "Display URL" once, usually you don't get option to convert them again into Card or Inline view.

comments: author: Raphael K?sters
body: Hi [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) thanks for your response. It is happening for both new and exisiting urls. [@Manon Soubies-Camy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1215212) gave a hint which directed me to the solution.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: ah yes, so only the pages which were created using old editor were having this issue and you got it working by converting them to new editor, great!


author: Raphael K?sters
body: yes, but unfortunately macros like {section}, {panel} or {column} ar not supported by the new editor

10 free licenses not available with JSM?
Asked by John M_:

According to our supplier we can't use the [10 free Confluence licenses](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing?tab=cloud), because we already have an existing Jira Service Management environment.  

Our Altassian bills are managed through this supplier.

Is there anyone that can confirm this is indeed the case? I can't find any information about this restriction.

John.


Answers:

How to hide pages from the left pane?
Asked by mayank.bajpai:

Here is the scenario.

we have created a main page that contains all the links to the sub pages. However, we would like to hide all the pages from the left pane so that users can just refer to the main page and the available links for each of the pages. Basically, we want to eliminate the duplicacy and to make it consolidated. Thank you.


Answers:
author: Nicolas Casel
body: There is a way by using two lines of Javascript.

If you can target exactly the page items to be hidden (or removed), insert these lines in 'Space Tools / Look and feel / Footer':

```
let elem = document.querySelectorAll('.pages-to-be-hidden-class');

elem.nextElementSibling.remove()
```


author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: A possibility is to move the pages outside the page tree (same level as home page), then they will not be visible on the left. You will see them when viewing the page hierarchy under space tools, but not when navigating in the space.

Not sure if it's possible in the cloud though...

comments: author: mayank.bajpai
body: Thank you, Patrick. Could you please suggest steps to do this?


author: Patrick Vanhoof
body: On server go to Space tools \> Reorder pages.

On cloud go to Space settings \> Reorder.

Drag and drop the pages outside the page tree (so, NOT under the space home page). E.g. the page 'Test drag drop' will not show in the page tree on the left.

Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Prateek Mangal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4557560) Natively you cannot do this in confluence. You can explore third party plugins on [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=search%20and%20replace). Or else you can create your custom solution by creating a script that will read your content, search for specific words and replace it with a link by using [REST APIs](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/).

Can you please help me with one more problem: As an admin I want to have two user groups

1. as approvers who can make changes

2. people to be informed after changes are made.

A user can comment on a page for any suggestion. Approvers may or may not make the change. second group should be informed only after changes have been made on the page not when a user comments on the page.

Can we have this functionality in Confluence such that second group does not receive notification when a comment is made on the page but receives update when content on the page is edited?

Confluence API copy page causing 404 error
Asked by Woodson Miles:

Trying to make a copy of a single page within the same confluence space using the API as exemplified [here](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content---children-and-descendants/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-copy-post).

I'm getting this 404 error:

```
"null for uri: https://docs.my.company.com/rest/api/content/491102008/copy","status-code":404}'
```

My python code:

```
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import json

url = 'https://docs.my.company.com/rest/api/content/491102008/copy'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
           "Accept": "application/json;charset=UTF-8"}
auth = HTTPBasicAuth('username', 'password')
payload = json.dumps({
    "destination": {
        "type": "space",
        "value": "MYSPACE"
    },
})
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload, auth=auth)
response.raise_for_status()
return response
```

I've tried copying many different pages with different ids and a couple different spaces without changing the error.

The URL '<https://docs.my.company.com/rest/api/>' has worked for my other API functions, as does my 'headers' and 'auth' parameters.

My company's instance of confluence is version 7.4.3


Answers:
author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@Woodson Miles](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4607303) ,

welcome to the community.

The endpoint

```
GET /rest/api/content/{d}/copy
```

does not exist in the [rest api reference](https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/7.4.3/). That's why it doesn't work. You are referencing to the CLOUD Api. Server is different.

To do what you want, you need to call first

```
GET /rest/api/content/{id}
```

read the page body, modify and then create with:

```
POST /rest/api/content
```

So long

I need a list of all pages and their URLS from Confluence 7.12.5. How do I get this list?
Asked by Susannah Bear Garlid:

Hello,

I need to extract a list of all article titles and their respective URLs from one space in . I found a [smiliar question](https://dciconfluenceprod.dcisoftware.com/), but it took me to a link that uses [advanced search](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/). If you use advanced search to get a list like this, what do you search for? (aka, what is the CQL code you use?).

Ideally, I'd need to export an Excel spreadsheet with two columns: Article (or Page) Name and page URL. Is this even possible?

1. Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the Confluence screen.

2. Click "View in Hierarchy"

3. Click on all the arrows to expand the list.

4. Highlight, then copy/paste the links into an Excel spreadsheet.

I didn't have the titles and the urls separated into their own columns, but this worked for what I needed.

The macro will help you to aggregate data from tabular Confluence macros (such as Jira Issues macro - you may check [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Count-of-issues/qaq-p/1841706) for an example) as well as from manually created tables.

The closest I think you will get to this is by adding an additional Jira Chart to the page and use the two-dimensional chart. You could then have project in the y-axis and contract types in the x-axis. This would provide totals for both and a holistic view of everything.

Afterwards, open the board menu, select the Dropbox Power-Up and you should be able to follow the authorization flow for it once more.

Then, can you log out of your account and back in please? Let me know how that goes!
