Vertical Tabs adding Border and Styling
Asked by James:

I am trying to find a way to add a border or some sort of styling to the tabs (Vertical in this case) on a Chalk page. I have found some CSS styling online but it does not seem to be changing. Is there a way to add a border or background or is there a list of options that can be applied to the tabs?

I am creating a Tabs Container and putting a few Tabs Pages inside and want those tabs to have some styling

}
```

use that code and edit font family, size, color, and style as you please. You can remove the round border if you want.

This is what it looks like when you add the css stylesheet macro to the tabs container or tabs page macro:

Slash commands don't work on some Confluence pages
Asked by RB:

Hi

I'm relatively new to Confluence.

I've found that when editing some existing Confluence pages, the editing options differ from most pages and from new pages.

In particular:

Typing / does not bring up a list of options. Typing the whole command (eg. /info to insert an info panel) doesn't do anything either.

I can still insert some elements by selecting the '+' menu within the page I'm editing, but the elements look different from the way they do on other pages. For example: Info, warning and note panels are all white, whereas on a new page, they change colour depending on the type of panel.

I can't find any setting to change this.

Help, please.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_

It looks like this is the answer.

However, there is no option to convert on my pages as shown in the article you've referenced.

Answers:
author: V P
body: Hello Vamshi,

Very good morning. Hope you were able to resolve the problem.

Just in case, you need a solution for the multiple tabs, we follow the following steps:

1. Add Deck of Cards Macro
2. Add Card macros for the number of tabs you require. For example, if you require 3 tabs then add 3 Card macros. All the 3 card Macros should be inside the parent Deck of the Card's macro.
3. Inside every card macro add the "include page" macro
   1. and click on the edit of the "include page" macro - specify the name of the confluence page you want to view in the tab.

Hope the above steps help.

Cheers,

VP


author: Shannon S
body: Hello Vamshi,

If your URL doesn't end with \*atlassian.net, then it's probably not a Confluence Cloud site.

I'm not really sure what you'er referring to regarding the tabs in your Confluence site. I think you are probably using an [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) add-on to accomplish that.

If you search on Marketplace regarding tabs in Confluence, you might be able to find the name of the add-on you're using in order to contact the developer regarding your requirement.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Take care,

Shannon

Is it possible to import Paper docs to Confluence?

You may [export Paper docs](https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/paper/export-docs) into Microsoft Word doc format which can be eventually [imported into Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/import-content-into-confluence-724765058.html#ImportContentintoConfluence-ImportWorddocuments).

comments: author: brianp
body: That doesn't help much, as Microsoft Word cannot (or at the time, did not) accommodate the type of content that .paper doc could accommodate. So, if a .paper doc includes tables, animated gifs, playable videos; all of which will work fine in a confluence doc, but I've had problems doing all that in MS Word, then we've turned to .paper. Now that we're in confluence, we have the same issue as the question at the top of this thread. If the required route is MS Word, then for each of our .paper docs, we'll have to repeat the steps manually. So, I wonder: If it's a manual process and each fo the docs will have to be opened anyway, then maybe just a Selct-all \> Copy / Paste is the way to go?

Provide a direct URL to create specific page type in specific space?
Asked by Esther Strom:

We have a group of users who has access to Confluence and to the customer portal view of our Jira Service Desk, but not to Jira itself.

As part of the flow of submitting a specific kind of service desk request, we want to require the user to create a Confluence page and include the URL of it in a field in the request.

Is there a way to create a static URL that would, for example, open a new Reference Architecture page in the Change Request Management space? I could then include that URL in the field help on the request form so the user could just click through and be in the right place.

Find a list of pages created with a specific global template
Asked by Esther Strom:

(I did read the [answer to this](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-it-possible-to-determine-if-a-confluence-page-was-created/qaq-p/1141270), but it seems specific to out of box templates, so I'm hoping for a different answer here.)

Is there any way to find a list of pages that were created with a custom global template? I recently took over as admin of a Confluence site that previously was completely open to everyone in the company, and we now have dozens of custom global templates, which really clutters up the Create dialog. I'd love to be able to get rid of them, but would like to be able to quickly audit how many pages have been created with each, where those pages live, and how recently they were created.


Answers:
author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: Hi [@Esther Strom](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2991092) ,

Unfortunately, the answer you found is applicable regardless of the template.

You could only address this on a go forward basis by adding distinct labels to all existing templates. That doesn't address existing content though, and labels can be removed...

Suggestion -

Reach out to your most prolific page creators and find out which templates are heavily used. for templates that do not receive responses, modify their name by putting an "X" or a "Z" in front, which will push those templates down to the bottom of the list. Not perfect and not pretty, but it's a start.

How to generate TOC from panel titles?
Asked by Michelle Rau HP:

Something I'd like to do for several pages is to be able to generate a Table of Contents from the titles, or heading text, in panels. For example, if I have three panels with titles Version 1, Version 2, Version 3, I want my table of contents to be,

* Version 1
* Version 2
* Version 3

I've learned that the CSS class for the panelHeader only turns the panel title bold and doesn't do anything else to it. I can style that class, but can't figure out how to specify to include that panelHeader class as the basis for a TOC.

I don't want to do this for all panels or on every page, only for some pages.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
