Need to remove doc-feedback macro from confluence instance without getting unknown macro error
Asked by Mayuresh Kamble:

Hello Community,

I need to remove the user macro "doc feedback" which was created referring to this article - <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Getting-Feedback-For-Your-Documentation/ba-p/831269>  

The reason to remove this is I need to migrate to cloud and since this isn't supported in cloud gives random error at the bottom of the page as shown in screenshot. If I delete it directly from the user macro section it gives "unknown macro" wherever this is used which is not good from the users perspective. Please suggest some solutions how this can be resolved.

Thanks \& Regards,  
Mayuresh

You're looking to restrict a section of the page's content for a certain user?

It's not possibly natively - the lowest layer is page restrictions, which you can see more about here - <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/>

You might be able to find an App for this though; check out options on the Marketplace - <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/>

I want to remove nested macros from data center using regex
Asked by Aditya Jha:

Hi,

I have got more then 3000 pages of different macros, what i need to know is how we can delete the nested macros from pages making its content as it is, we only want to remove tags from it .

currently we are using either this

pattern = fr'\<ac:structured-macro\\s+ac:name="{macro_name}"\[\^\>\]\*\>(.\*?)\</ac:structured-macro\>\|{macro_name}_\\w\*'

or

this pattern

pattern = fr'\<ac:structured-macro\\s+ac:name="{macro_name}"\[\^\>\]\*\>(.\*?)\</ac:structured-macro\>\|{macro_name}_\\w\*' 2 updated_content = re.sub(pattern, r'\\1', current_content, flags=re.DOTALL)

but for few pages this is getting helpful but not for all pages, is there any specific regex which will work if the macros are in nested format

can you please help with the nested macro removal using regex irrespective of what format they ?

Confluence migration
Asked by Ayush Lawania:

I have migrated confluence from one instance to another, now my question is whether do we have any way to see if any new changes were made in the old confluence pages after the migration is done, how can I see those changes for all the migrated pages? Is there a way to sync those changes, for example if any changes were made to the old pages then it should appear on the new pages too.


Answers:
author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Ayush Lawania](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5381132) I didn't use server very much, but is there a **Recently Updated** macro there? You could add this in each space to locate the pages changed after the migration, and then use the version history of each page to see the actual changes.

Personally, I'd make the people who changed the pages after the migration get the updates into the equivalent Cloud pages---they are familiar with what changes they made, and it will teach them to go to the Cloud site to make future updates.


author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Ayush Lawania](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5381132)

You want modifications in the previous instance post-migration to flow through to the new one?

I assume asking users to not use the previous instance isn't an option?

There isn't a direct native option to do this; I think it would be easiest to do with an App, such as [Space Sync for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225377/space-sync-for-confluence-copy-publish-pages-over-sites?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), or another App from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=sync)

Editing Pages
Asked by Jillian Klingenberg:

Working as a group is seems difficult to identify who made what changes? I see the flag and then the review changes screen. Is there a way to "track changes" similar to a word document? Or add comments within the edited unpublished version being worked.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Jillian Klingenberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5463749) and welcome.

If you click the THREE DOTS menu and select Page history, you'll see the list of versions (saved versions) with names of users.

You can compare any two versions and the differences will be highlighted - addition, deletions, formatting changes.

To get more details, when a user is saving a page, they can click the arrow next to the update and fill in more details in 'Version comments'.

Decision Log
Asked by Jillian Klingenberg:

Is there a way to set up the decision to go into a page when they are decisioned? We have to keep records of changes and change request.

For example

If a decision was pending it would automatically go in the pending page and then when changed to completed it would then automatically go into the complete page.


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Jillian Klingenberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5463749) welcome to Community!

Have you tried the decision macro? You can add a decision on any page, and then use the decision report macro to summarize all the decisions (from one or more spaces).

This is what the macro choices look like when you go to insert them on your page

![Confluence decision macro.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/315211i53AAFACC1C376841/image-dimensions/398x259?v=v2 "Confluence decision macro.png")

There are no statuses available for decisions however, so you can't see the different between a 'pending' decision and a final decision.

An alternative could be to use Jira issues to represent the changes/change requests as those have different statuses. You could use some of the various Jira macros in Confluence to display them, for example a list of Jira issues with change requests in pending, then on a different page a list of change requests that are approved or completed.

Confiforms and JIRA Attachments
Asked by Rayman Bacchus:

I have the IFTTT macro to Update JIRA whenever a change is performed in my Confiform Table or List view. However, this seems to duplicate the attachments that I send to JIRA whenever an update is made. Is there a way to stop duplicate attachments from being copied to JIRA when I make an update to the Confiform data?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Rayman Bacchus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4958603)

ConfiForms will send attachments whenever you ask it to send them to Jira

There is no such thing as "the attachment has already being sent and do not sent it again"

Consider deleting attachments from Confluence/ConfiForms after you have sent them to Jira.

Code snippet colors
Asked by Michal Koziel:

I use code snippets mainly to format bash code. I've noticed that the snippets shown when selecting an older revision in the page history look way better than on the current page. The background is dark so the text color really stand out. Why is that it is not like that on the current page?  

<br />


Answers:
author: Lynoure Braakman
body: Is the "Configure code macro" doing anything for you? For me not, and I am assuming this is because "Code macro" got recently replaced with "Code snippet", and the configuration only seems to apply to the former. This might explain why the older revisions look better.

Confluence vs Asana - How Do You Leverage Each?
Asked by Stacey Soleil:

There seems to be some differences and similarities, however I'm always a fan of better understanding how different teams break down their workflows.  
Do you start with mind-mapping tools such as Miro first, and then toss ideas into a Google Spreadsheet \& then upload to Asana for PM, or do you use Confluence for all?  

No right or wrong...just curious what works for everyone.  

<br />


Answers:
author: Josh_Unito
body: [@Stacey Soleil](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5455682) It really depends on the project/initiative. As a content marketer, I like Confluence for briefs/documentation and Miro for feedback on strategy or anything visual. Spreadsheets are for data + analysis, and the PM tools (Asana, Jira, Trello etc.) are for day-to-day task management.

Exclude specific users from analytics metrics?
Asked by Erin Manuel:

I'm a Confluence admin who manages our content in Confluence. My activity on pages, especially views, really skews our analytics numbers and messes with archiving parameters. This causes some of our pages to be falsely "up to date" because I've viewed them to review them, troubleshoot, etc.

Is there a way in the cloud to exclude a user from analytics metrics?


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Erin Manuel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5406820)

Natively, I don't believe there is an option to exclude users from the metrics.

An alternative would be to export the data to CSV, then exclude yourself - and review the data this way? You can see options to export the data on [these help pages](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/view-analytics-to-see-how-content-is-performing/) (top two topics)

You could also raise a feature request for this - do so from here: <https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa>

---

Aside from this, some Apps might be able to do this - such as [Viewtracker - Analytics for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/28637/viewtracker-analytics-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud), or another App from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=analytics)

Create table with jira issues and the confluence pages where they are mentioned
Asked by Diogo Tecel?o:

Hello everyone,

I want to build a Confluence table in which I have the following 2 main columns:

* Jira issue
* Confluence pages in which the Jira issue is mentioned on

Does anyone know if this is possible by combining any set of plugins and macros?

For more context:

* I have a custom issue type on Jira which is called "requirement"
* The requirement issues are listed in several Confluence pages. This creates a link / mention between the Jira issues and the Confluence pages
* I want to have a table that essentially enables me to see, for each Jira issue, in which Confluence pages (with a URL preferably) it is mentioned.

Perhaps its is a combination of using the REST API / ScriptRunner / any data sourcing plugin together with Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence, but I really don't know.

Does anyone have a clue?

Many thanks!


Answers:
author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Diogo Tecel?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4327414) ,

The [Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-charts-spreadsheets-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app is our add-on. The app supports the Jira Issues macro (you can transform the macro output, join several Jira macros and so on) but it can't search Confluence pages for Jira mentions.

Maybe as a workaround we can suggest using the [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros. On each page where you need to put a Jira mention, you put it also inside the Table Excerpt macro that is placed at the top of the page.

Then on your master page such excerpts are collected in a big report via the Table Excerpt Include macro with "Page Title" meta data. So, you'll see a table with page titles as links and correspondent Jira mentions.

Also I've browsed the Community for similar questions but couldn't find exactly your case. But maybe these threads will give you any hints or smth:

How to create a Personal Space
Asked by Andy Thelwell:

Hi,  

I'm a long-time Confluence user in previous jobs. A "Personal Space" is key to my workflow. At my current company, on our Confluence (Cloud) instance, I do not see a Personal Space under my profile, nor do I see the ability to create one.  

Could this be a locked-down setting or something? It seems unbelievable that this feature would be turned off as it's so standard. Any ideas?  

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Ste Wright
body: Hi [@Andy Thelwell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5463638)

I'd double-check you don't have a personal space first:

1. Go to Spaces (top navigation bar) \> View all spaces
2. Filter the results to *Personal*
3. Search for your name

---

If there isn't one there, your company might have them switched off via [Global Permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-global-permissions/)

You should contact your IT Support team to ask if you are able to have one. They could...

* Create a Group, provide it product access, then add you to it - and grant it access to have a personal Space
* Create a normal Space, and limit access to just yourself

It might be worth checking that angle.

Any query suggestions for multiple check boxes checked
Asked by Harihara Prasath V:

The DoR and DoD have been defined in JIRA. I would like to check the adherence of DoR and DoD.  

For example, I can retrieve the epics / stories which are defined with DoR / DoD using the below query however I would like to know how I can check if the DoR /DoD has been adhered by the team.

For example : For one Epic, there can be 5 DoR Check boxes,

Scenario 1 : If all the check boxes of the epic are checked, then DoR is adhered

Scenario 2 : If few of the check boxes are checked or if none of the check boxes are checked, then DoR is not adhered.

Any recommendation on how we can retrieve the result.

project = x AND issuetype = epic AND PI = xxx AND status in (xxx) AND DoR(Custom field) is not EMPTY

Smart values are name, spacing, and **case-sensitive** ...And I note your created variable name *groupID* does not match its use in the Send Web Request action, where it is *groupId*. First try changing them to match.

If that does not help...sometimes I have observed there are parsing-order problems with the URL for the Send Web Request action. That is, it does not fully evaluate before the URL is captured for use. The workaround for that is to create the complete URL in another created variable, and then use that new variable in the Send Web Request action.
