Is SourceTree compatible with macOS Catalina?
Asked by Christopher Lyman:

Kind of a basic question I know, but I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere. I need to know before I upgrade macOS. Thanks.


Answers:
author: Alexander Nosov
body: I have issues with SourceTree 4.0.1 on Catalina. After a couple of minutes it starts to consume a lot of resources and my Mac OS going crazy. I've to close sourcetree each time after a couple of minutes.


author: potterpg
body: My answer is NO...

I am running a test Catalina VM, and downloaded sourcetree.app

The message says:

Can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

comments: author: codemic-pl
body: [@potterpg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3631070)

1. Run sourcetree
2. At "Can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." close dialog.
3. Open system preferences
4. Go to security \& Privacy
5. At "General" tab you should have message about blocked sourcetree, and you need to press button Open anyway. (you need make that action just once, next time sourcetree should open normal)

[@Christopher Lyman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3620972) I am using sourcetree at macOS Catalina and have 2 bugs:

* I can't update sourcetree 4.0 (229) to 4.0 (232)
* app crash when I am start dragging unstaged/staged files (very annoying)


author: codemic-pl
body: [@potterpg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3631070)

1. Run sourcetree  
2. Dismiss error message  
3. Go to system preferences -\> Security \& privacy  
4. At the general tab, you should have message about blocked sourcetree, click "open it anyway"

Sourcetree should start.

Edit Expand Headers?
Asked by ashley_townsend:

I see that there were inquiries on this a while back- just wanted to see if there has been an update since then.  
I LOVE the expand function, but I do not love how muted the header is. In a world where I want my team to engage, this small grey font is completely lackluster.   
Is there a way to edit this yet? or to enter some html logic to customize a bit?

How to temporarily disable Space Notifications?
Asked by Cecil Jackson:

I have a lot of content to transfer from a website to Confluence....how can I temporarily disable Space Notifications while updating the content?


Answers:
author: Nikola Perisic
body: Welcome to the community [@Cecil Jackson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5474363)

This can be done only per user. To achieve this, you would need to:

1. Go to Personal Settings when you click your avatar - needs to be done from Confluence
2. On the left sidebar you will see the option Email
3. When you click it, you will see the Edit option
4. You can toggle off Autowatch, Daily Digest and everything that is below including Real-time updates
5. Click on Submit

When you finish the transfer, do everything but this time enable everything back and click on Submit.

Test it to see if you are starting to receive your notifications back.

Does Confluence support both templates and checklists?
Asked by Sean Ford:

My main use of Confluence is project SOPs for my team. I use a separate tool to manage each individual project, but it would be nice if we could use Confluence instead. For this I need two functionalities:

1. **Template.** Can I set my Confluence SOPs as templates, so that others can use them for each project -- editing, marking progress, making notes, etc. -- without affecting the core SOP? Essentially making copies of the SOP without having to manually do it?
2. **Checklists.** Does Confluence support being able to check a box (or some other way) to mark a step complete -- maybe even deleting or hiding the checked task, making it easy to tell at a glance what is and isn't done?

Thank you!!


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Sean Ford](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5474263) In addition to creating templates for your authors to use for new pages of a project, if you have a set of pages that you want to use for each new space (project), you can create a space with these pages that can then act as a "template" for new spaces.

When you create a new space, you can copy the pages from the template space to the new space.

Why am I missing <HTML> and <XML> from ^IMPORT^ under Page Edit
Asked by Fun Man Andy:

That was unexpected... ?

How do I activate these options under Import?

Edit: I see that I cannot: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-content-into-confluence-cloud/>

And XML re-imports is only OnPrem, not Cloud.

Additional context: I forget a Page (plus Child Pages) during a migration (we need just 1 page not the whole Space.

Now I can't find any Atlassian documentation on singular Page Imports....!?

Geoblocking possible?
Asked by Reinhard_Hessler:

We would like to grant "Anonymous access" to Knowledge Base articles. Is geoblocking for selected countries possible?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Reinhard_Hessler](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5474243) and welcome.

Isn't geoblocking easy to circumvent these days? :) Once the space is anonymous, anyone can access it.

But to not sound like Captain Obvious... here's an idea.

[Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app can make a public KB site, on your own domain) from a private (as in not anonymous) Confluence space.

It can also create a site, from the same private space, that you can control access to with your SSO setup. We do :)

I'm not an SSO expert but I wonder.... if it would be possible to use your SSO tool to geo-control access to your Viewport site.

That way, your Confluence remains private, selected content is in the Viewport site and you control access via your SSO tools.

Just an idea ;)

Re- import backupfiles
Asked by Liesl Pescivolo:

Hi there

I encountered an issue with a Confluence site that has expired. We've successfully re-registered the site, but unfortunately, all data related to pages was lost in the process.

Fortunately, I had previously backed up the site before it expired. This is a ZIP file. Now, we're looking to import this backup into the site again. However, the backup size exceeds 200MB (specifically 219MB), and I'm unsure how to import these files individually.

If anybody can assist me?


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Liesl Pescivolo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5473966) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Since you only have a backup of your entire Site, you cannot use the method of importing space by space (<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/import-a-confluence-cloud-space/>).

I think you may be able to do it using the instructions in this page: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/merge-multiple-confluence-cloud-sites/>, though this sounds like an involved and complicated process.

Perhaps someone else has experience of doing this and can offer their advice.

How do I pass a search term from a Confluence page to Jira?
Asked by Red Lloyd:

This is what I want to do:

I have a Confluence Knowledge Base set up. In Confluence, I already have a search page with a Livesearch box with the proper spaceKey for my Knowledge Base. Enter a term in the Livesearch box, it gives you page links back. Fine.

I'm trying to also set up a search for Jira issues. I know if I set up a link to our URL with JQL to specify the projects, I can get to a Jira search page with a box to enter a search term or terms that will only search those projects.

But I don't want to send my users to that search page; I want to have a box in which they enter their search term and get a return of Jira pages that match that term, limited to our projects.

Can Confluence handle this?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Red Lloyd](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5474098) and welcome.

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/>

comments: author: Red Lloyd
body: No, appreciate the attempt, but that doesn't help. That would create a list of issues in the Confluence page. In other words, it creates a static list based on \*my search term\*, which is hardcoded in the query.

What I'm trying to do is have a box on a Confluence page that allows the user to input a search term \*on the Confluence page\* and receive a list of Jira issues that match the \*user's\* search term, dynamically.

How to find a list of pages that is showing a specific page in the Content by Label macro?
Asked by lgillis:

Hi,

We have many pages and to structure them, we have added tags to all of them and created some main pages that contain the Content by Label macro.

Now we would like to know for each page, on which main page it's shown in the Content By Label-list.

Example:

Main page 1: contains list of all pages with labels 'one' and 'two'

Main page 2: contains list of all pages with label 'one' and 'three'

* Page with label 'one' --\> I want to see (on this page!) that this is showing up on Main page 1 and Main page 2.
* Page with label 'two' --\> I want to see (on this page!) that this is showing up on Main page 1
* ...

Is there any functionality or extension that we can use to add a list of pages referring to our source page?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@lgillis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5301500)

I wonder if using Confluence Databases would work for you.

Essentially, you a DB with a list of pages (with links) in your space, one of the columns would display labels and you can filter the DB based on the specific labels. So you would have a list based on cross-referenced labels.

I posted an [article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Use-Databases-for-your-docs-life-cycle-management/ba-p/2663479) a couple of days ago that you may find inspiring.

Search
Asked by Diego L_:

good morning,

We have detected that for a few days the search does not seem to work, or does not work well,

If we search for pages by a word in the title, or a word that is within the page, the search engine does not return results,

This seemed to have happened to us once when we had confluence on premise, in our infrastructure, but not in the cloud,

When this happened to us, we had to rebuild the indexes, but in the cloud I can't find a similar option,

Can you check what's happening?  
Thank you so much


Answers:

There was an issue a couple of days ago that affected Search

<https://developer.status.atlassian.com/incidents/frvdsdj0s6gk>

While now resolved, it apparently caused issue that were rectified by re-indexing Confluence sites by Atlassian.

As [@Jack Brickey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853369) suggested, get in touch with Atlassian support, I think it's safe to quote the incident and ask for re-indexing.

Our site was affected, Atlassian triggered re-indexing which rectified the situation even before the official fix.

Space Sync for Confluence Cloud app allows a bi-directional sync between two Confluence Cloud instances (on a space level). Or you can sync 5 spaces every which way ;)

But considering that to go from Server/DC to Cloud, a migration process must be followed, which is a one-off, one way street... a cross-breed sync sounds like a tall order.

How to restrict users reordering pages from the left sidebar?
Asked by Maria Ahvenlampi:

Hello,

This is quite common asked question, but I have not found any straight forward answer from anywhere so far.

**Is there a way to make reordering pages available ONLY from Space settings?**The Ability to set Some restrictions for content management should be very basic feature.

Now in Cloud **not only admin, but all space (view and edit) users are able to reorder pages from the side bar very easily**, and it causes many problems and confusion.

I think that reordering pages should be only available at least for space admins and edit-users only, and if that is not possible, I hope Atlassian is going to do something for this very soon..

So far, I've been the only person working in my space, but I'm hoping not to run into this issue when we open it up for other users. It's a user guide and would be really messed up if others drag the pages around.

Welcome to the community

The only way to prevent people from creating pages in a tree is to take away the "add permissions" for the whole space.

I've been looking for a marketplace app which might suit your needs, but I haven't found anything.

A solution could be to provide a separate space where they can create pages and then move them into the other space if you need.
