For deleting comment and attachment you can not find it who or when deleted. Just can search in database and find it. In space permission see access who can delete attachment or comment may be can find your answer

comments: author: me
body: Users need this and i can't provide access to database for them!  
wondering confluence send email notifications for this activities but could not show them in one place on UI! For users!


author: Ashkan Malekly
body: Ahaa i have never checked this but may be you can check the audit log and find who and when attachment deleted


author: me
body: Still you think i want to check that ?

users need this, they don't access database or log file of confluence server.


author: Ashkan Malekly
body: :) ask your admin to check them :)


author: me
body: I am admin :) and know how extract these things from database or log!

challenge here are users!


author: Dave McNulla
body: I'm not an admin and I do not know who the admin is. I want to know who deleted the attachment so I can ask them to stop doing it.

Seems easy to see who changed the contents of the page.

Seems easy to find who changed the formatting.

Seems excessively difficult to find out who deleted the attachment.

Is there an existing bug for images reducing in size once edited if contained within an Expand box?
Asked by Craig Obee:

When adding images to Expand areas in the new editor i often need to manually resize them to make them look more uniform and match the size of other images.

The issue is when i change the size of any image, no matter how little i adjust it when viewing the article it reduces the resized image/s to a littel square everytime.

Example: <https://www.screencast.com/t/845kRLVOY>

If there is an existing bug for this please let me know as i could not see one.

author: Diego
body: Hello [@Craig Obee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3892598) !

While reading your question, I went and tried to replicate the behavior you show us in the video.

I was 100% unable to replicate it. Not because the issue was not present, but because I was unable to perform the essential part of the flow, resize the image.

While I watched your video, I noticed that the images are all within a table. This has led me to believe that we are affected by a wider behavior, the one described here:
> * **++*[\[Confluence Cloud\] Resizing Images Inside of New Tables is Unclear or Impossible](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65573)*++**

Currently, there is no workaround for this erratic behavior. You could vote and watch the report and also report your current experience with it directly there.

As I understand, you need more context on how to use Bobswift's SQL addon for Confluence. It might be a good start by taking a look at their documentation:

Blog posts macro ordering incorrectly
Asked by Kathryn Reddie:

My Comms team has raised an issue whereby the blog posts macro is not ordering the blogs according to the macro when they are all published on the same date. It seems to be a time issue from what I can see.

Our blog posts macro is set up for :

1. Max number of 4 blogs.
2. Sort by Creation.
3. Reverse sort.

Here's our scenario:

Blog post 1 published 24/04 12:30 \> v2 12:43 \> v3 **26/04** 17:16  
Blog post 2 published 24/04 14:56 \> v2 14:58 \> v3 14:59 \> v4 15:00 \> v5 15:07  
Blog post 3 published 24/04 15:45 \> v2 16:09

5pm 24/04 they displayed in order 1, 3, 2. I would have expected, with a reverse sort on creation date they would have displayed as 3, 2, 1.

A few days later, they display in order 3, 1, 2.

My thinking is ...

1. If I go by creation date, they should display 3, 2, 1 as reverse sort by creation date.
2. If I go by modified date, they should display 1, 3, 2 as reverse sort by modification date. I think.

Whichever way I go, the macro isn't displaying as I would expect it to.

Does anyone else have a better understanding of what is going on here, or if it is a bug?

Thanks in advance,  
Kathryn.

I'm one of the developers of the [Lively Blogs for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213057/lively-blogs-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app and I have seen this problem in the past in our app as well. Some of our customers reported that the sorting of blog posts only accounted for the day of the blog post, but not the hour \& minute. This was because we were using the Confluence sorting algorithm.

We fixed this for our blog post overviews \& macros by sorting the blog posts ourselves instead of using the Confluence algorithm. [Unfortunately, there seem to be several old bug tickets for Confluence](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-16134?jql=project%20%3D%20CONFSERVER%20AND%20text%20~%20%22blog%20post%20sort%22) describing similar issues, some of them closed as *"Won't fix"*.

Changing Server ID on Atlassian Licences

Hello,

On the Atlassian website, Licences page, I have activated 2 licences with wrong Server ID.

SEN-16703893 Confluence (Server) 10 Users: Starter License

SEN-16703894 Bitbucket (Server) 10 Users: Starter License

I thinked On Jira have same Server ID with this licences.

There is no have Edit or Change button.

How can I reset it?

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Your licenses are not tied to a specific server, the Server ID is just used internally by Atlassian. If you are moving your products to a new server you can still use the same license key.

Thank you for posting a question on Atlassian Community. We are happy to help you. See if my answer below is able to make things more clear :)

**Overview:**

In general it should be possible to change the name (URL) but it is not something that you can easily do on UI (yet!). Basically it requires contacting support team directly and they would check if this is possible.

**Related documentation:**

Please take a look on this KB that is fully explaining the topic

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/changing-the-cloud-instance-url-address-or-migrating-to-a-new-cloud-instance-691011835.html>

Make sure you also look at the specific Jira tickets included in the KB above and watch/vote on them.

I hope it would be more clear after reading it. However if not please hit a reply button to my answer (so that we would continue the thread) and we can continue to troubleshoot.

How can you change the default landing page if you do not have a confluence-user group?
Asked by Alyssa Hays:

Our setup requires very tightly controlled user groups which we named to match those we use elsewhere (like Dropbox and Office). So, we don't have a confluence-users group.

When I try to change the landing page under Further Configuration, I get the error below.

Is there any way to change everyone's default landing page without that group?

![Capture.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92631i6CCFC2EBC81401CA/image-dimensions/572x165?v=v2 "Capture.JPG")

author: Fadoua
body: [@Alyssa Hays](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3833125)

Yes you can change the landing page at the root of Confluence. By either creating a new space accessible to everyone and make it the landing page or select an existing space. The choice is yours.

Click on the cog -\> Configuration -\> Further Configuration then click on the dropdown to select a space

![Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 11.28.47 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/92683i0E1AF8170CAB776D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2020-04-28 at 11.28.47 PM.png")

Let me know if you have any questions.

comments: author: Alyssa Hays
body: When I do that, I get the error message I put above because we do not have the confluence-users group.

My question is if there is a way to do it if you don't have that user group.


author: Fadoua
body: [@Alyssa Hays](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3833125)

What is your confluence user group?

did you try to grant that specific group the required permissions to the space?

Confluence is looking for confluence users group that grants everyone access to the application?

<br />

What happened to Confluence Users group? Did you remove it?


author: Alyssa Hays
body: We have a default user group for employees, called Teammates that does have access to that space.

We have to pay for licenses for many users that should not have access to most pages. The generic confluence-user group ends up actually being a security issue and was removed after each page was updated.

It looks like, instead of coding this landing page feature to the default user group, it was coded to the group NAMED confluence-users.

Why does the new editor not support Hex codes for table colors?
Asked by Gina Palombit:

Since the new editor did away with panels, the tables are the next best option when formatting...however, the table colors are limited to 16 or so color options. Why? Can we please get an option to input a Hex code for the sake of branding consistency?

Many of my pages were built in the old editor where we established a color scheme. Recently we have been switching to the new editor as Confluence has been recommending, however, it doesn't have a lot of common-sense formatting abilities that the old editor has. Can we at least get Hex codes back?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello there [@Gina Palombit](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879783)!

As I understand, you need more color options for your tables and there is no way around the twenty-one available options.

Currently, there is no other option than what is given within the editor, no hexadecimal selector for colors.

With the situation in mind, I raised a new Suggestion Report. You can check the report here:
> * [++***\[Confluence Cloud\] Enable a color picker for custom colors selection in Table highlights***++](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69918)

Further, if you need to keep using our Legacy Editor, you should be able to. The editor is not going to be removed in the foreseeable future. If you are unable to use it currently, you are able to request it. You can check this blog post for further details:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] 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)***++

By using the Legacy Editor, you will be able to use the Panel Macro still. You can check more details about it here:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] Deprecation of the Panel macro](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Deprecation-of-the-Panel-macro/qaq-p/1344480)***++

I hope this helps! Looking forward to your reply.

Do you know if future updates will include more colors or the ability to input hex codes?

body: Hello [@Gina Palombit](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3879783) !

All the information about these features that is available to has been shared in my previous reply. The best approach would be to watch the reports. This ensures that you are notified of all changes there.

Looking forward to your reply.

How do I delete users imported from LDAP directory?
Asked by emanuel dieter:

I unintentionally imported every user object from my AD. I removed the directory from Confluence, but all the users are still in the user list of Confluence. I only wanted specific groups imported, it worked for the admin group, but the when I did the same thing for my users' group it just imported every user object :(

Now I have 250 unwanted users, but I don't see a way to delete them.

Edit: When I go to the people directory it only shows the users I want though.

I can't figure out how to unsync them because I deleted the directory they came from, thinking it would remove all the users in it. There is no options to unsync, disable or delete them. I have the system admin global permission.   

They aren't being counted towards my license though and they don't show up in the "People" directory.

Jira Reports - Change log is now blank
Asked by Ben:

Currently, attempting to generate a Jira Report - Change Log creates an empty page.

This tool was working for our previous release one week ago.

Some helpful things to narrow things down:

* This happens when specifying a fix version
* Not specifying a fix version creates a Jira Report properly
* Attempting to generate a report with our previous release fix version also creates an empty page now
* Previously generated reports still look fine.

# Select the Change Log template;

Conversion to new editor version
Asked by Angelo Nigro:

Hi, I am struggling to understand why once I converted a Confluence page into the new editor version it seems like I can not publish the page anymore. It worked for the first few changes I made also changing the layout with the new one but at a certain point when I publish the page it says "unsupported content". I had to restore the version prior to the conversion in order to be again able to see the content. Is there a way to fix such issues?

Many thanks,

Angelo


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Angelo Nigro](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3829911) !

As I understand, you are facing a behavior in pages migrated from the Legacy Editor (tinyMCE) to the New Editor (Fabric).

The unsupported content message shows up when there is something on the page that keeps Confluence from displaying the content within the page. It can be a problematic macro, an unsupported structure, etc.

I had a similar request here in the community not long ago. You can check it here:
> * ++***[\[Atlassian Community\] Unsupported content](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/unsuported-content/qaq-p/1328355)***++

There are two workarounds to this situation. You can check both of them in the thread linked above. What I can tell you is that your initial approach is correct, revert to a previous version works to avoid this behavior. Editing the page and removing the specific problematic content also works.

You can check more detailed information on what works and what does not during migration here:
