Provide whole example Wiki for download
Asked by Wolfgang G?bl:

Hi,

Currently I am writing a book that deals with Enterprise Architecture. In this book I propose an approach that uses Wiki as a tool to store architectural information.

As a goody, I want to create a sample Wiki that contains maybe 100-200 Wiki pages with sample data structured according to my approach.

What is the best way to make these Wiki pages available for readers in a way that they can import them to their on premise or cloud installations? Is it possible to create my own Confluence Wiki in the cloud so that others can read (but not change) it and download it as a template to their own Confluence instance?

Thx

Wolfgang

body: Hi [@Wolfgang G?bl](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1496375),

Yes, you can create your own Confluence wiki in the cloud that others can read. What you'd have to do is enable anonymous access for the space(s) that you want other people to be able to view

**Instructions on how to do that for a space are here:** <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/make-a-space-public-827106208.html>

**But you'll first have to enable it for your site:**   
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/setting-up-public-access-934718729.html>

You can set the permissions so anonymous users can view your content but can't change it, and you can also let them have permission to export your space.

**They then just need to create an xml space export, and import it into their site:**

Hope that helps :)

different steps for system update
Asked by Robert Stumpe:

Hello,

when updating from 5.8.18 to 6.6.4 i thought it was ok to get a new server, install confluence 6.6.4 and import the xml-backup from 5.8.18.

I thought confluence would update the data during the import.

The system works, no errors with the import - but maybe it is better to install 5.8.18 on the new server, import the xml-backup and after that update confluence to 6.6.4?

I am asking because there are sometimes performance-issues with the new system.

happy to hear your opinions about this case


Answers:
author: jndeverteuil
body: Hello,

Those backup really should be restored on an instance having the same version than the one it was backed up from. So you should install the Confluence server on 5.8.18, restore your xml-backup and *then* upgrading up to 6.6.4.

Make sure to validate if you can jump to 5.8.18 to 6.6.4 directly as sometimes you can't jump directly from an old version to the most recent.

Print a list of labelled content
Asked by richardofrugeley:

I authored a set of Confluence pages within a site, and afterwards assigned four labels to describe them. The labels are in two complementary pairs:

* reqts and no_reqts
* general_ref and specifc_ref

I wish to check that every page includes two labels, and there are no illegal combinations.

I can display pages of labelled content but only 10 pages are displayed at once. I would like to print a complete list so that I can check it. Obviously I could print each page of 10.

There doesn't appear to be any sorting tools for the list - I'd like the titles to be in alphabetical order so that they're easier to spot without scanning the whole list.

Suggestions would be welcome.


Answers:
author: spud
body: Hey [@richardofrugeley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/629007),

If you use the content by label macro, you should be able to create a list of all the pages with a label on it. You can also get it to sort by name, and choose how many results to display.

**More detailed instructions are here** : <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/content-by-label-macro-724765178.html>

Remove "Unknown User..." from pages where user has been deleted
Asked by Vincent Kurutza:

We are on the Cloud pay per user version and when we have a leaver we delete them, but we then see the attached on every page.

How can we remove this?

![Screen Shot 2018-06-11 at 12.53.03.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24353i9E95D8ED980AAE93/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2018-06-11 at 12.53.03.png")


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hello Vincent and welcome to Community!

As far as I know, you can't recover their name once they are deleted.

You actually shouldn't delete users but deactivate them:

![deactivate.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/24357i3E2749B567FCEABA/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "deactivate.png")

When a user is deactivated, it doesn't use any license but you'll keep their name instead of having "Unknown user" everywhere.

Here is the Atlassian documentation explaining why you should deactivate users rather than deleting them: [Deactivate or delete users](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/invite-edit-and-remove-users-744721624.html#Invite,edit,andremoveusers-Deactivateordeleteusers).

Hope this helps,

Possibility to list user permissions?
Asked by AccessHolding:

Dear Community,

I would like to know if there is any possibility to list all permissions of a specific user. For example we have several projects and spaces. Sometimes we allow external ressources to access those sites with certain permissions.

It would be great to track/list this permissions beside from the admin side. The goal would be that each project manager could review this permissions on a weekly/monthly bases or just track them. No editing needed, just viewing. For example:

[@Tester](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/146396) Testerman - current permissions -\> @whatever

How do you guys handle this?

Restrict Page Versions to veiw from Guest Users
Asked by Dheeraj Gupta:

We are using Confluence Cloud to host our customer documentation. We have enabled Guest View on one space so that anyone can view that.

However, I am facing issues (due to agile methodology) with ongoing updates on the same page of the documentation for the newer version of our product, which is not yet released to our customers.

If I apply Page Restrictions it hides the entire page from the Guests. Is there any way that I can freeze a particular version of the confluence page for the Guest view. While the newer or all other versions of the page are visible to the authentic users of my confluence cloud.

For example, we have released our product version 1.0.2 to our customers and its documentation is available of confluence page say "My Product Documentation" and its current version is v.3.  
Now, we have started working on newer version of the product, say 1.1.0. It has some new features, and therefore, I need to update my confluence page "My Product Documentation". I have to publish the page so that the users of my confluence cloud can view the updated information and can provide comments after the review. However, as soon as I publish the page it creates the new version v.4 of the confluence page "My Product Documentation" and make it visible to the guest users too i.e our customers before actually releasing our product to them.

I am looking for an option to Freeze the particular version of the confluence page, in the above case v.3, for guest viewers; no matter how many version are created internally for the same page. While releasing our newer product version we can accordingly publish or freeze the newer version of the confluence page to guest viewers.

Table Header formatting not working since 6.8.0 - How to notify Atlassian of Bug
Asked by Jason Wolf:

**Summary**

Since installing 6.8.0 I have been having trouble getting the header formatting to work consistently.

Following a page creation, the feature works, but then, for some unknown reason it stops working and I cannot get it to work again on a page once it breaks.

Impacts the vertical column and row formatting feature.

**Additional features impacted**

* On Hover \> Tool Bar Alt Tag, describing icon's feature did not work

**Attempted remediation**

* Reverting to earlier version
* Upgrading, I have actually upgraded 2x, but the issue has not rectified.
  * 6.8.0 - 6.8.3
  * 6.8.3 - 6.9.1
* User had both the Confluence User and Confluence Admin Role.

**Anticipated remediation**

* I changed the table type from Responsive to Fixed Width
* Page reloaded
* Feature did not immediately become available
* User then removed user from Confluence-Users group, but retained Confluence Admin role


Answers:
author: Jason Wolf
body: Additional info / correction...the issue is corrected by entering edit mode and then refreshing the browser page. This re-enables the feature and it seems to then work going forward.. Hope this helps someone else with this, and let me know how I can help by logging a Jira ticket somewhere.

Creating A New Page Using Confluence Rest API That Has Embedded Tabs Within It
Asked by Bhrein Brannick:

Hi there,

I have been able to create a confluence page using confluence rest APIs. All good so far.

However, I'd like to evolve this and create a page with embedded tabs. Outside of confluence this is trivial to do as you can use html plus css (with javascript if you like although not mandatory). I know their are plugins that create tabbed content but the plugins I have installed don't have a rest api equivalent AFAIK.

My questions are as follows:

1) Is it possible to add my own custom stylesheet via the rest API so to style the html I send?

or

2) When sending my html could I set the class attribute to a certain value so that the confluence server would know to interpret this to be tabbed page content on that page?

or

3) Is there an sample code that is achieving my objective above?

Thanks in advance as to any help regarding the above.


Answers:
author: Chii
body: When you are using the REST api to create content, you are not sending HTML, but sending [confluence storage format](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html). It acts like HTML, but it is not, and you will not be able to directly send any style sheet tags either.

You need to find and install a plugin containing a macro that displays tabbed content, and send storage format that correspond to that macro in your REST api call. You can find out what the storage format looks like for the tabbed content macro by installing the source editor plugin (<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor.confluence-source-editor>) and manually creating the page in the editor, then view the source.

If you really want to send HTML directly, and style it with a style tag, you can use the "html" macro (see docs here <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/html-macro-38273085.html>). This is a dangerous macro to enable, as it is basically an open XSS vulnerability - anyone who has edit permission to the page can add any HTML.
