Is Git 2.31 causing git-bash terminal to fail opening on Sourcetree 3.3.4 ?
Asked by perrstep:

Hi, I have just updated my embeded and system Git (Windows) to version 2.31, and this seems to make the terminal button fail to actually open the terminal, silently failing.

Reverting to Git 2.30.2 fixed the issue. Is this happening only for me?

Should I report this bug elsewhere?

Thank you.

author: AHP
body: We also face(d) this issue in SourceTree 3.3.9, after an update of "Git for Windows" to 2.31.1, and don't have a proper solution for now! (Note: we can't switch to the Embedded git; the button is greyed out, since we are on a Corporate Environment, where SourceTree is deployed from central location)

However, the following **workaround** may help you, until a fix is available:

1. In SourceTree (v3.3.9) click on the "Explorer" button (next to the "Terminal" button) --\> that opens the repo from within SourceTree in an Explorer window.
2. From the Explorer window: right-click on the root folder of the repo and select "Git Bash Here" --\> opens the GitBash, which can be used as if you've clicked the "Terminal" button.

Hope that helps others and serves at least as a temporary solution.

body: Not just you. I'm using sourcetree 3.3.8.3848 and after I updated system Git to 2.31, the terminal button fails.

Also, sourcetree now hangs(unresponsive ui) for \~30 seconds when I launch it.

But if I close all my project tabs and restart, it doesn't hang.

On closer inspection of the process in the taskmanager, the culprit might be Git lfs, which has a recently reported issue.

[https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/4439](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/4439?)

In any case, the issue is with Git for Windows, which I suggest rolling back to 2.29.2.

Or you switch to the embedded Git.

Cannot clone Bitbucket repo - App Passwords
Asked by Hi_ImTemmy:

Sourcetree Ver: 3.4.3

Hello folks,

I'm trying to clone my online bitbucket repo to my laptop.

Within Sourcetree the authenticaion looks fine

![1.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/134626i4B05263CD4EDC792/image-dimensions/408x376?v=v2 "1.PNG")

I can see the repo within Sourcetree but when I try and clone it I get hit by:

![2.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/134629i25BA9C1B2D8CCB82/image-dimensions/449x278?v=v2 "2.PNG")

I then went ahead and followed [this guide for creating an app password](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/)

I did this and added it to Sourcetree successfully.

I'm having no success solving this. From my POV Sourcetree has my Bitbucket credentials, and I can see the repo, so I don't understand why I'm having difficulty cloning.

What are these types of prompts called?
Asked by hailey_clement_foodsconneted_com:

I opened a template recently with a table requesting different types of information. Pre-populated in that table were prompts like "Type // to add a date." These prompts are light grey and only show up in edit mode. They don't appear when viewing the page as a normal reader.

What are those called? "Prompts" hasn't been a useful search term.

How do I add them to tables I've made from scratch?

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Those are either variables or placeholder text. Variables will prompt you enter text into them when you create a new page, and placeholder text can be used to add instructions. Check out [this KB](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/) for more information.

comments: author: Barbara Szczesniak

Page Tree - 'Page Not Found' error for some pages after the upgrade
Asked by swati_rastogi:

Recently upgraded to Confluence 8.5.5 (test environment)  
Tested a few pages, in the Page Tree - when clicked on opens the new page and comes with the error page.

![pagenotfound.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/330916i658E34FD1D80F45B/image-dimensions/302x220?v=v2 "pagenotfound.PNG")

If the Page Tree is removed from side bar, and then access the page, able to open it and see the contents fine.

* Tried the space and site re-indexing - didnt helped
* Reindexed the database - didn't helped either
* Removed and re-added the page tree (from Space Tools \> Configure side bar) - didn't worked.
* From Space Settings \> Content Tools \> Reorder Pages - able to access the pages from there  

  Anyone had similar issue and was able to get it resolved?

ConfiForm - Hide Filter - Confiform Filter Control
Asked by AmK:

Hello,  

I currently have the filter search area at the bottom of my page, so below my table. But when the table grows, it would be annoying to scroll all the way to the bottom to reach it.  

I am considering two possible solutions, move it to the top and hide the menu until someone clicks on filter or something  

Other solution is to keep filter at the bottom but add a button near the top, that takes you to the filter. Would this be possible with action button.  

Which of these solutions are easier and how could I implement them.  

Thanks!

Annoying selection bug
Asked by Max Clendenning:

Often when I select/highlight a bunch of text across multiple cells in a table, the resulting selection is actually just a small piece of text in a single cell where I released my drag - as if it only recorded the last snippet of my drag instead of where I started when I pressed the mouse button.   
I can reproduce this intermittently but consistently (maybe 3/10 times). I am not double clicking or physically releasing the mouse button early. This only happens in Confluence - I can export the same content to Word and with the same content and same mouse and NEVER have this happen.

I really hate this bug - it slows down my table editing.

List of "Your spaces" via API
Asked by S?nke Heins:

Hello,  
using the REST API, is there a way to get the spaces which are listed under "Your spaces" in confluence for a specified user using the API and a user ID?  

Right now I'm thinking of a combination of using:

"https://{your-domain}/wiki/api/v2/spaces"

fetching all spaces in my domain and then using:

"https://{your-domain}/wiki/api/v2/spaces/{id}/permissions"  

and filter out the response body.  
But this won't give me the "Your spaces", right?  
Atleast if I try to do these steps with my own user ID the response is empty but I definitely have some spaces with permissions under "Your spaces".  

Is what I'm trying to do even possible with the REST API v2?  

Thanks in advance!

Hi community! I would like to know how to duplicate a confluence document from another account.
Asked by Joanna George:

I am working on a project with a team as part of the requirements for an online certification. I've made all my contributions on the confluence account owned by the team lead who is a product management student just as I am. I need to submit my work individually though and starting what I've already done all over from scratch is burdensome. I have tried to duplicate or copy and paste my work on the roadmaps, precisely but I haven't found a way to do that. Could anyone guide me on it, please?

You can copy the page as [@Nicolas Grossi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/676185) suggests, however since you mentioned Roadmaps, is part of this work in Jira? You would need to copy that as well.

If the online certification has any merit it SHOULD see thru someone coping pages, you will be better off redoing the work on your own.

Continuous report status page
Asked by LaToya_Swain:

When I create a report template page within my space. How do I copy the report template for the following week so each week has the same report stored in that area? Furthermore, am I able to share the report within Teams?


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: Can you elaborate a little more?

When you say "report template page" Are you creating a template for reports? If so, why do you need a new template per week? Just use the same template for each week's page.

If you are referring to a page with reports on it as "report template page". Then just name the page with the date or other means to describe the week when you create a page per week.

I would warn you that most gadgets are real time and will not display historic numbers on your pages. Meaning even if you rename a page per week, the gadgets on that page will should real time numbers of whatever they are reporting. Without looking to Marketplace add-ons the best I have found is to save pages as a pdf and store them in Confluence for my historic snaps in time.

Out of support server / issue in restoring server
Asked by Thomas Beck:

Dear all,

I was running a confluence server (onPrem).

The server had HW issues, so I have to restore from a backup.

As the support period has expired, I'm not entitled to reinstall a new instance of the confluence server to restore my data.

I'm missing something? can it restore from the XML backup also without having a running instance first? If not (what I expect), shouldn't there be a way to get it up and running at least to import the backup file?

Thank you guys!

How to update CSS to create our own style?
Asked by Vivek Goyal:

I need to create my own template for documentation purpose for user guides. How do i create and change CSS? I am using the Confluence cloud version.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: [@Vivek Goyal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5524999)

Just to elaborate on [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) , the listed apps all depend on Confluence permissions, so if you want to create a public documentation site, you have to enable anonymous view access to your documentation space.

If you don't want to do that, you can use

* [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) (also used by Atlassian)
* [Instant websites for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214121/instant-websites-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Vivek Goyal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5524999)

As a side-note, you can create page templates - see how to here: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/create-a-template/>

---

In terms of modifying the CSS, you can't do this natively at this time, although there is a feature request for it - check out [CONFCLOUD-36137](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-36137)

There are Marketplace Apps though which will let you update/customise the look and feel of Confluence? check out Apps such as...

* [Refined Sites for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221322/refined-sites-for-confluence-intranets-documentation-kbs?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
* [Karma Confluence Page Builder](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228839/karma-confluence-page-builder-content-formatting-free?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

how to load the RSS feed for Confluence page updates within the Confluence RSS reader

However, when I try to fetch and display the RSS feed for Confluence page updates, it doesn't work.

I quickly glanced add the marketplace app you describe. I do think it's to show RSS feeds for products outside in Confluence, but not showing Confluence information in the feed as well.

I suggest you to reach out to the marketplace partner (vendor/developer) to have this checked.
