Hi Team,

I am upgrading confluence from 5.5.3 to 6.0.3 , and after analyzing the plugins below plugin says "request update from vendor". please verify and let us know are there plugins really required with version 6.0.3? should i ask vendor to update these plugins.

is there a fix pack for confluence 5.1.2 about Concurrent Editing and Merging Changes Bug
Asked by fabby:

**Confluence 5.1.2 fails to non-conflicting merge changes while editing page concurrently.**

I know this bug has already been fixed in later versions.

Because it's not convenient for us to update confluence version,so is there any fix pack for confluence 5.1.2 about this bug?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's not a bug, it's just a weakness in the design. A common one for all systems that allow for on-line editing. Some handle it better than others. (Confluence falls in the middle of the range for me. It's not great at handling it, but it's a lot better than most other options)  

Atlassian systems do not get patches, other than for critical security issues. If you want a "bug" (not that this is one) fixed, you upgrade. If you need a new feature, you upgrade. If you want shiny new toys that your current version does not do, you upgrade.  

Confluence 5.1 is out of support, there's no chance of it even being patched for that. You have a clear and absolute case for an upgrade, and no reason not to.
If I select Subscribe to Daily Updates, does that digest replace the individual emails I would have received throughout the day?
Asked by Ryan McNair:

Answers:
author: Sandy Johnson
body: It does not automatically, but you could stop watching the individual pages and therefore stop receiving those emails.

comments: author: Ryan McNair
body: Thanks!


author: Rodney Hughes
body: I agree with Sandy

Daily Updates is a setting in your email preferences as a summary of activity

The individual "instantaneous" alert email is a function of setting a page/space Watch via the "eye" icon on the page, or setting the Autowatch in your email settings for any page where you have created content

Note individual alerts give attachment activity (can be annoying if someone is uploading 100 attachments) whilst Daily Updates does not.

Using redirection in confluence to account for incorrect URL's in document links
Asked by Roger Mejia:

I have an scenario in confluence where the users get prompted for authentication when accessing different linked documents, I'm wondering if URL redirection would help with this. We found that some documents links have different URL's such as <http://WIKI> and some have the full base URL or <http://wiki.domain.com>. If redirection will help were would I configure this.

Using the AND operator
Asked by Mikael Glentoft:

Is it possible to somehow enforce the AND operator when using content by report table macro?

As it works now I concider it to be broken since you cant use this for grouping pages containing multiple labels; e.g. list all cars of a specific typ (label 'car' and label 'toyota').   

There is an issue regardning this, see [CONF-32635](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-32635) - but the product manager does not seem to care even though it has quite alot of votes and comments.

<br />

Regards,  
Mikael


Answers:
author: cptBarbosa
body: Hi Mikael, following this article about the [Content Report Table](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-report-table-macro-317194676.html), I was able to list more than one label using ',' (comma), please try using this and let me know if it works for you.

Hope it helps. :smile:

comments: author: Mikael Glentoft
body: Hi  

Yes, but I want to list content based on all the labels (AND), not any of the labels.  
The macro does not work well if you think of how you label pages.  

If you have a page regarding a toyota, you probably label it "car" and "toyota".  
If you want to list pages regarding cars of the type toyota, you cant do it since the macro would list all pages containing the label "car" and all pages containing the label "toyota".  

You are forced to add a label called "car-toyota" to achieve that - and this is not how you should label pages.  

From the Content Report Table description:
> The macro will display the content tagged with any of the label(s) specified here.
>
> For example, if you specify labels 'A' and 'B', the macro will display all pages that have the label 'A', and all pages that have the label 'B', and all pages that have both those labels.

<br />

Regards,  
Mikael


author: cptBarbosa
body: I am sorry, now I understood your question. You are right there is no way to do the list the way you want (at least for now).

But since the feature request that you mentioned is for server you can open a [feature request](https://jira.atlassian.com/) for cloud, and ask for people vote so the developers can knowledge the importance of it.

I also looked for an add-on that may fit your necessity and found Bulk Action Tools. You can give a look on it at [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/bulk-action-tools/cloud/overview).

Access revoked for a user without admin input
Asked by Matthew McReynolds:

Why did this happen by itself?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'd need to dig through the history to find out which admin did it (I'm including your admins **and** the Atlassian system admin in that group of admins).

That needs to be looked at by Atlassian support, as it needs someone to look at logs etc. I'd raise it over at [https://support.atlassian.com](https://support.atlassian.com,) and specify the user and any known dates (last time they were known to get in ok, first time you noticed they'd been disabled)

Connecting/linking requirements in confluence
Asked by Oscar Sverud:

Is I am writing requirement specifications using the confluence template

On the top level I have system requirements with for example accuracy requirements specification

Some of the involved software requirements needs to get linked to these accuracy requirements since they are part in a chain of software components to satisfy the system requirements.

I would like to keep the requirement only on system requirement level and then connect/link to this system requirement from the corresponding requirement for each software component

Example:

System Req page

| Item | Story |                 Notes                  |   |
|------|-------|----------------------------------------|---|
| #1   |       | detectection needs to be within +-2 mm |   |
|      |       |                                        |   |
|      |       |                                        |   |

Software Component 1 req Page

| Item |      Story      |                          Notes                          |   |
|------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------|---|
| #12  |                 |                                                         |   |
| #13  | JIRA ticket 123 | System Req: #1 "detectection needs to be within +-2 mm" |   |
| #14  |                 |                                                         |   |

What I would like is that in the description/Notes for Software Component 1 req Page #13 I get link/see the requirement stated in System req Page #1

Is this doable in some magic way? Or do you have a suggestion on another way to solve this?

Thanks in advance

How can I print or export a page so that inline comments are visible?
Asked by Erik Anderson:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Commenting on pages and blog posts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=701435207)*

Inline comments are a great feature for collaborative content creation.

However, I cannot find a way to print or export a page with inline comments visible.

MS Word has had inline comments for ... something like decades now. Yet, export to MS Word strips all inline comments. This is not helpful.

PDF has also had inline comments for a long time, and again, export to PDF strips all inline comments.
