Unable to edit a new blank page
Asked by steven.peake:

I can no longer edit the title or body on a newly created blank page. Both fields are greyed out and won't accept input.

I've been using Confluence for a few months now. I was initially able to create and edit new pages.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Using the latest Firefox (71.0) on 64-bit Win7 Pro

Thanks

Steve

I seem to have the same issue. I used to be able to edit pages but that stopped some weeks ago. I posted [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Unable-to-edit-Pages-with-Firefox/qaq-p/1148292?utm_source=atlcomm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=immediate_general_reply&utm_content=topic) as well. I do not get any "connection failed" error messages on the browser development console, as [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) suggested. She kindly pointed me to

Doing the web test I get problems with SSL WebSockets:

I use Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox 71.0 (64-bit). Chromium Version 79.0.3945.79 gives the same problems.

body: Hi Steve,

Working through the following steps (one by one) might hopefully resolve this for you?

It could also be a temporary service issue you've run into, if you're using cloud.

1 - Clear your cache

2 - Disable any browser extensions / add-ons

3 - Attempt access via a different browser

- Alex

comments: author: steven.peake
body: Thanks for the suggestions.

Clearing the cache and disabling add-ons/extensions made no difference.

I've just downloaded Chrome, and this allows me to edit a new blank page.

Bit annoying if I have to use a different browser just for this one site. Plus, others seem to be having issues with other browsers as well, so no telling how long this will continue to work.

Thanks for you help.

How to add a page break to the scroll word exporter template?
Asked by wangxin:

??????????????????????????????pagebreak?????????????????1??????????![2020-01-03_160941.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/77660iD8A12160EE722D42/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-01-03_160941.png")


Answers:
author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi there,

If you want to add a page break to your exported content but don't want to use the Scroll Pagebreak macro, you can set page breaks to occur for heading level styles in the template (like JP suggested). Would this be an option for you? You can read more about defining styles [here.](https://help.k15t.com/scroll-word-exporter/latest/server/defining-paragraph-styles-147036900.html%20)

Within the *Paragraph* \> *Line and Page Breaks* options, you can then enable the option **Page break before** for the specific heading level style:

![Screen Shot 2020-01-27 at 16.31.17.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/80573iF37E136524CF4B4A/image-dimensions/313x299?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2020-01-27 at 16.31.17.png")

The $scroll.content placeholder which you mentioned marks the start of where the exported Confluence content will be included in the generated export.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers, Thomas (K15t)

Is it possible to tag sentences or paragraphs, not just whole pages? Do any apps support that?
Asked by Emily Alter:

We are using a Confluence space to store notes from customer interviews. We are able to tag the notes at a page level.

We would like to tag the notes at a sentence or paragraph level because every time our product managers go back to assemble evidence from our customer interviews, they have to read through the entire interview. It would be great if they could just go directly to the specific sentence or paragraph.

Is that a function which supported? Is there an app in the Confluence app store which would support that functionality?

Thank you for your help!

author: Diego
body: Hello [@Emily Alter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3692903) !

I understand that your use case needs the ability to partially tag content within your pages. What I can tell you is that Confluence does not support this natively.

Further, looking a the marketplace, I could not find anything that works in a similar fashion.

The closes to that that I could think of is our feature to create inline comments. Here, take a look in our documentation about those:
> * ++**[\[Confluence Server\] Comment on pages and blog posts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/comment-on-pages-and-blog-posts-139483.html#Commentonpagesandblogposts-Addaninlinecomment)**++

When inline comments are created, that specific part of the text will be highlighted and the users can click on it to check what was the comment about.

Hope this shines some light into your situation, Emily! Looking forward to your reply.

Notification of changes with emails is insecure
Asked by Tom Taylor:

Is there a way to disable emails for changes to pages? My company has proprietary information in our knowledge base and I really don't like the idea of this information being shared in an insecure fashion...


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Tom Taylor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3692892) ! Great to see a new face around.

As I understand, your organization deals with pretty sensitive data and you need to disable the email notifications within your instance.

Currently, we cannot disable notifications globally. Users can opt-in our out of such. Here is an older thread that discusses this:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Community\] Why can't I disable Confluence email notifications....](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Why-can-t-I-disable-Confluence-email-notifications/qaq-p/343932)**++

And here is a little bit more information about this kind of notification, here you can verify the fact that users can opt-in or out of those notifications:
> * ++**[\[Atlassian Cloud\]\[Confluence Cloud\] Email Notifications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/email-notifications-724765358.html#EmailNotifications-Subscribingtoemailnotifications)**++

For anyone who might be ++*running Confluence Server*++ (not Confluence Cloud), we have this Knowledge Base Article that tackles the email notifications issue:

How to bulk export blogs in personal space?
Asked by Kim Magden:

When people use their personal space to create blogs, is there a best practices to bulk export these blog posts into pdf format? I know you can export individual posts.


Answers:
author: WW
body: There's a nice little table on what can and can't be bulk exported in which format [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf615/export-content-to-word-pdf-html-and-xml-967337418.html#ExportContenttoWord,PDF,HTMLandXML-ExportmultiplepagestoHTML,XML,orPDF).

Being a personal space or global space makes no difference for this.

As you know, you can't export your whole blog easily/directly. You can export your whole (Full Export) personal space to **XML** , which **does include blog posts**, even though when you go to export it says this:
> Generates an XML file for each page in this space, including those not visible to you. The export includes comments and attachments, but excludes blog posts.

Unfortunately, you **cannot pick and choose which posts** or even the whole blog to export in XML. You could use an XML to PDF converter, but I'm not sure how that'd turn out.

**If you know how to code** , the [REST API](https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/#content-getContent) might help. You'd probably have to put in some work to get it to look like you want on a PDF, though.

You'd use something like this to grab the content:

```
http://example.com/rest/api/content?type=blogpost
```

**Another option, if you code** , is to look at the browser's Web Developer **Console** (name varies by browser) while you export one blog post to a pdf, you can see what it's doing and try to replicate that. Here's an example of one I exported:

```
https://example.com/spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action?pageId=123456789
```

You could grab all the blog pageIds and run them through the first URL. That'd hopefully get you started.

**UPDATE**: After playing with it some more, I found that you don't need the code below. If you don't run it from the UI, it will download the file again.

```
https://example.com/download/temp/pdfexport-20200102-020120-1636-37/SpaceKey-BlogSample-020120-1636-38.pdf?contentType=application/pdf
```

**If you can't code** , then you are probably stuck with "printing" to a PDF instead of actually exporting, which would eliminate any customizations you may have for exporting PDFs in your space. There are a number of ways to print to a PDF. Here's an [example](https://www.guidingtech.com/10560/create-a-pdf-document-out-of-multiple-webpages-quickly/) I found after a quick Google search.

I hope at least one of the suggestions helps!

Anonymous user can create/delete pages
Asked by Michael Clinton:

Hello - I am using a Confluence space as a knowledge base for users of my app. We are just about ready to launch this and I now notice that an anonymous user can create and delete pages.

But I have these permissions turned off. See below screenshot.

Am I missing something?![Screen Shot 2020-01-02 at 2.34.41 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/77600iA6846EB3C62637E2/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-01-02 at 2.34.41 PM.png")


Answers:
author: Vitor A
body: Hello Michael, hope you are having a great day!

<br />

Thanks for reaching out to our Community!

Based on the configuration you have shown, an Anonymous user wouldn't be able to create or delete pages on the Space. Would you mind to double check if these settings are being applied to the desired space?

How did you realize that Anonymous users are able to do so?

<br />

Looking forward to your reply so we can work on the case! :)

<br />

Thank you in advance!  
Best regards,

Vitor Avila

comments: author: Michael Clinton
body: Hi Vitor,

I built this space on my computer and we linked it inside of our iOS application.

When I tested my application on my iPad, I noticed the entire left side bar was visible. And when I expanded the section I noticed there was a plus icon.

I clicked the plus icon and I got the normal pop up as if I was creating a new page. So I followed through the process and created the page.

Then, when I viewed the page the top of the screen said the creator was Anonymous.


author: Vitor A
body: Hello Michael, G-day!

<br />

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the **app** you are referring, it is an application developed by your team, which you are integrating Confluence as a Knowledge Base for it, right?

In case so, as it seems your permissions are set correctly, I recommend you to [raise a ticket to Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/), so we can get deeper on the investigation by checking your instance.

Please, take note that only Site Admins can raise requests, so in case you are not one, it would be necessary to reach out to one.

<br />

Please, let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

Thank you in advance!  
Best regards,


author: Michael Clinton
body: Correct, we're simply hyperlinking the knowledge base (which based on the permissions, should be read only) so that our customers can get help.

I'll submit a ticket shortly.


author: Vitor A
body: Michael,

Glad to know that.

Thank you in advance and hope you have an amazing year!

For example article titles must not be translated. These titles have been translated by mistake (even if the agency is told not to translate them). Then the the articles will not appear as Help text when the user is pressing the F1 key.

Code text also need to be locked, as code examples in our articles have been translated by mistake.

Formatting code text in Confluence
Asked by mette.warloff:

Hello,

I am a novice user of Confluence and I have problems formatting code text in my document. I have tried the **Code block** macro with various settings for **Syntax highlighting** and **Theme** without success.

I would like code text in Confluence to appear like this:![Code formatting example2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/77525i627DC3FCBFBF08BF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Code formatting example2.png")


Answers:
author: Jiri Hronik
body: The Code Macro has built-in syntax highlighting for various languages but the highlighting itself is preset, only colours can be changed using themes. If you want a different highlighting completely, I can see two options. Note that you need to be a Confluence administrator for both of them.

1) Add a new custom syntax highlighter into the Code Macro. The highlighter format is called "brush" and the documentation can be found in [http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/brushes/custom.html.](http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/brushes/custom.html) This same link is also in the Code Macro Administration screen in Confluence.

2) Install an app from Atlassian Marketplace that does what you need. From a quick search I found a few:

- [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211159/advanced-codeblocks-for-confluence?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211159/advanced-codeblocks-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

There's more if these do not suit you.
