Inquiry regarding Confluence REST API: Notification for Adding Labels to Pages
Asked by Samia Hammou:

Hi,

I am writing to seek clarification regarding the behavior of Confluence's REST API when adding labels to a page. Specifically, I would like to know if adding a label to a Confluence page using the REST API triggers a notification to the page watchers.

Looking forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,

Samia

While I am not 100% sure, I would say that it would not notify the page watchers. Page watchers are notified when an individual clicks on the "Publish" button. I have a feeling that since you can add a label without editing the page, you can do so without notifying your watchers.

Best,

Scott

Allow logged in users, who do not have confluence licenses, permission to comment on KB articles.
Asked by Laura McDonald:

I have created a space in Confluence for knowledge base (KB) articles. There is a defined group of people who have confluence licenses and are able to edit these KB articles.

This Confluence space is connected to a Jira Service Management portal which has given access to all logged in users to view the KB articles, and Only Confluence Users can edit the KB (the only other option for edit is allowing agents and admins to edit content).

I would like all logged in users to be able to leave comments on the KB articles. Is there a way to do this without granting the entire organization Confluence licenses.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Laura McDonald](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4827153) I believe you could set the space up to be open to anonymous access and then users could leave comments on the space pages. <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/> This would make it open to everyone.

can you delete several attachments at the same time?
Asked by Lara Ugrina:

hello dear community,

<br />

as my company is moving Confluence to the cloud soon, we are in the process of going through individual attachments of the many Confluence pages and deleting outdated things. Since many pages have hundreds of attachments copied from Confluence pages, I am looking for a way to delete multiple attachments at once. So far I can only view the attachments and delete each one individually. Is there a faster way?

<br />

Thanks, Lara


Answers:
author: Chris K
body: Hello [@Lara Ugrina](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5255545)

Unfortunately, there is no option via the front end to delete multiple attachments.

This is an open feature request for Confluence Data Center. You can vote for this issue here:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-17020>

There are two options to delete multiple attachments, which I am aware of:

1) Using an add-on like Scriptrunner: <https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4c/latest/features/built-in-scripts/space-administration-built-in-scripts/bulk-delete-attachments>

2) A second way to delete multiple attachments would be via database commands, but you should be very careful with this option. Maybe your Admin or Hosting-Provider can help.

Greetings Chris

Thank you for your help. Than I will try the Add-on or do it manually :)

"How-to articles" - content visible in preview and export but dissappears in editing
Asked by Weronika Paw?owska-Ci?g?o:

I created a how-to article and published it, so I could download it to PDF.

Now I can preview the file or export it to PDF/Word and it has all the content that I created. However, when I click on 'edit', it shows me a blank document, which means I cannot correct anything in the article.

I tried copying the article to see if it's going to allow me to edit the content I can preview, but it's all the same - preview is fine, but no content to edit.


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Weronika Paw?owska-Ci?g?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5255508) welcome to Community!

By any chance, did you convert your page from the old Confluence editor to the new?

Are other users on your Confluence instance seeing the same problem on the page, or on other pages?

Did you create the page using a template, or from scratch?

I don't have any solid tips for the moment, so just trying to better understand your case.


author: Weronika Paw?owska-Ci?g?o
body: Hi [@Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3327113) , thank you for the swift response.

I checked with another teammate of mine and they also cannot see any content when entering edit mode.

I don't think I converted anything; I only started using Confluence yesterday and I created the article today, so I guess I did it in the new editor?

I used a "how-to article" template: they way I created the article was by going to "How-to articles" and clicking "Add how-to article" and started editing it from that point.

When I'm in edit and I see the blank page (only the title is there) I can also look up changes to the file. It shows all lines deleted, however I haven't deleted anything (especially that this content is visible in preview mode and upon exporting). I can't seem to undo that process.![Screenshot 2023-06-28 at 15.04.11.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/265505i1260502B2C4A0B44/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-06-28 at 15.04.11.png")

Appfire Confluence CLI: Can I paste the clipboard into a page?
Asked by Johan Bezem:

I am looking at a whole git repository full of markdown documents that need to be exported into respective Confluence pages. I understand that [pasting markdown clipboard content](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Import-markdown-into-Confluence/qaq-p/211797) (by hand) into a page (cloud installation, hosted with Atlassian) shall work.

I also have (CMD.EXE, PowerShell) commands to put the content of a file into the clipboard.

Can I create a Confluence CLI instruction (with Appfire CLI or OOTB) that runs in a CMD or PS shell to paste the clipboard into a newly created page in Confluence? That way I could automate the creation of a Confluence space with the same content as my markdown document tree.


Answers:
author: Naveen Kumar_Appfire
body: HI [@Johan Bezem](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5255174)

We also have a support ticket [SUPPORT-96478](https://appfire.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/11/SUPPORT-96478)[](https://appfire.atlassian.net/browse/SUPPORT-96478) to better track your request. However please find the response here as well.

Using [Confluence Comand Line Interface](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/284/confluence-command-line-interface-cli?tab=overview&hosting=cloud), you can convert a markdown file into a confluence page using the [storePage](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/68455568/storePage) action. But you need to download all the required files into a directory on your local computer.  
Please use the action shown below to import a single markdown file into a confluence page using CLI.

```
--action storePage --space test --title markdown --file Downloads/gitFiles/text.md --markdown
```

For all the files in your directory:

1. Create a CSV file with column headers: *space, parent, title,* and,*file.* If the file(s) are available at different locations, provide the full path of the file(s) under the *file* column.
2. Enter the following values in *Page.csv*:
3. Execute the following CLI command:

```
--action runFromCsv --file page.csv --common "--action storePage --markdown" --continue
```

*Please note that if the files are available in the ACLI installation directory then the file name can be mentioned directly, otherwise add the full path of the file location.*   
Hope this helps!  
Thanks,  
Naveen

How do i make my site read only to the public but editable for authorized users
Asked by Michelle Martineau:

I need help configuring my site to be read only to the public while still allowing edits from my team. I created a group of authorized users and gave them permissions but for some reason annon users can still edit and create pages. is there a way to prevent annon users from doing anything but viewing the content?


Answers:
author: Jens Schumacher - Released_so
body: To configure your Confluence site to be read-only for anonymous users while allowing edits from your team, you'll need to adjust the permissions settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving this:

Log in to your Confluence site with administrative privileges.

Navigate to the space where you want to configure the permissions.

Click on the "Space Tools" menu located in the lower-left corner and select "Permissions."

In the Permissions page, you'll see a list of different groups and their associated permissions. Find the group that represents anonymous users (typically called "Anonymous" or "Anyone"), and click on the "Edit Permissions" link next to it.

In the "Edit Permissions" page, you should see a list of available permissions for anonymous users. Make sure that the following permissions are unchecked (disabled):

* Create Page
* Edit Page
* Add Comment
* Add Blog Post
* Add Attachment

<br />

Once you have unchecked the relevant permissions, click on the "Save All" button to apply the changes.

Now, you need to ensure that your authorized user group has the necessary permissions to edit and create pages. Go back to the "Permissions" page.

Locate the group representing your authorized users and click on the "Edit Permissions" link next to it.

In the "Edit Permissions" page for your authorized user group, ensure that the following permissions are checked (enabled):

* Create Page
* Edit Page
* Add Comment
* Add Blog Post
* Add Attachment

Click on the "Save All" button to save the changes.

With these steps, you should have successfully restricted anonymous users from editing and creating pages while allowing your authorized users to have the necessary permissions. Make sure to test the configuration by logging out or using a different browser session to confirm that anonymous users can only view the content.

implementing search functionality on a JIRA Issue/Filter in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Oday Rafeh:

Hello Community,

I've been working on a **Confluence Cloud** page where I've embedded a **JIRA Issue/Filter** to display many tickets. I want to add a search function directly on the Confluence page so that users can find specific tickets more easily.

I tried using the **"HTML Template Embed for Confluence"** app to add custom HTML and JavaScript for the search function. Still, it seems that the JavaScript within the iframe created by the app cannot interact with the table generated by the JIRA Issue/Filter macro.

Here's what I've attempted so far:

1. I embedded the **JIRA Issue/Filter** into the Confluence page to display the tickets.
2. I added a text input field to serve as the search box using the **"HTML Template Embed for Confluence"** app.
3. I added JavaScript to filter the table rows based on the search term. However, this doesn't work because JavaScript can't access the table generated by the JIRA Issue/Filter macro.

I understand that Confluence Cloud has strict security policies that prevent custom JavaScript from running outside of iframes. However, I am wondering if there's any other way to achieve this search functionality directly on the Confluence page without having to navigate away from the page or use JIRA's search function.

If you have encountered a similar situation or have any recommendations on how to add this search function, please let me know. I'm open to using other apps from the Atlassian Marketplace or any other solutions you might have.

I appreciate your help!


Answers:
author: Jens Schumacher - Released_so
body: The only way I can think of would be to write a custom macro and render the Jira issues yourself. I don't think there is a way around the security policies.

Automatically create page based on custom template
Asked by Nicolas Huber:

Hello, in Confluence, I made a rule with "Publish New Page". In the "Template" dropdown field, only standard Confluence templates show up, although I created a custom template in the specified Template Space two hours ago. I also tried typing the name of the template and refreshed the page several times, but it does not let me refer to that template.

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/265452i372F251C578360B3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

This [related post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Only-custom-page-templates-available-when-using-Create-page-in/qaq-p/2105465?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=unpaid-social&utm_campaign=P:online*O:community*I:social_share*) indicates to me that there was a time, 1 year a go when custom templates would show up in the dropdown.

Is it possible, or was this feature disabled?

author: Thibaut Subra _Elements_
body: Hi [@Nicolas Huber](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5255353)

If you're looking for a way to publish Jira content to Confluence with more control and customization (with [custom templates](https://doc.elements-apps.com/publish-to-confluence/how-to/insert-jira-fields-into-confluence-templates?utm_source=community&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=question-2402192) for example), I suggest to try our [Publish](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225519/elements-publish-create-confluence-pages-from-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=question-2402192) app.

You can take your Jira and Confluence integration to the next level by building Confluence pages with data from fields, comments, attachments, and labels from one or multiple issues. Even by synchronizing datas so you keep consistency.

You can of course trigger your Publish recipes directly [through Automation](https://doc.elements-apps.com/publish-to-confluence/how-to/create-confluence-pages-with-automation?utm_source=community&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=question-2402192).

Don't hesitate to give it try (free for 30 days or lifetime under 10 users).

Let me know if you have question!

Copy Cards - Reminder
Asked by Andrew Haberberger:

Why is it that when I copy a card the Reminder automatically defaults to "None" instead of the reminder that was set on the COPIED card? If a card is copied, shouldn't it copy the whole thing, including the reminder date?


Answers:
author: Catherine Chen
body: I know it's been a year since you asked this but I had this issue and figured out that if you have an automation set to copy a card *without comments*, it will remove the reminder as well. As soon as I set the automation to just copy, it kept the reminder.

When you manually copy a card, it should copy the reminder as well, at least it did so for me.

Hope that helps some people!
