Disabling automatic bulletpoint list
Asked by Nimorid:

I wanted to write some text in Polish, and in Polish we are using dashes for dialogues, e.g.:

```
- Look there! - she said.
```

Unfortunately, doing that in Confluence always autoformats to bulletpoint lists, hindering the writing a lot.

I did disable Autoformatting in Profile =\> Settings =\> Editor, but that doesn't seem to do anything in this case.

I am quite new to Confluence, so is there something I'm missing?

Looking forward to any tips!

Thank you.

Am I being dumb.. but can't seem to hide spaces? All viewers can see all spaces?
Asked by Mel_Evans:

We have different clients (customers) accessing Jira where we can plan/track projects and support etc. We want to have Confluence Spaces for documents.

Confluence Knowledge Base: Can I implement a workflow for publishing knowledge articles?
Asked by Miranda_Reshaw:

We are getting ready to go live with a Jira Service Desk and want to ensure our team practices Knowledge Centered Service. There are a couple of things we'd like to be able to do:

User needs more rights in Confluence Only
Asked by Elaine Wilder:

I have one user who needs to be able to change some permissions on some items in Confluence and to delete 2 pages.

How do I grant him rights to do this but not have additional rights in our other products?

Thanks

Elaine


Answers:
author: repi
body: [@Elaine Wilder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2570329)

The user who is to delete and change authorizations must also be granted the authorizations.  
This can be done via group membership or individual rights. In order to be able to issue these, you should have appropriate administrator rights (space or system).  
If you don't have it, you can't change anything.  
That's what a rights concept is for!

comments: author: Elaine Wilder
body: thank you - I am a site administrator and did look for a way to make this confluence user a confluence administrator. Not sure how to do that. Do I need to create a new group - confluence administrators - and add him to that? Thanks.

Elaine


author: repi
body: You must have access to users and group management.

It should also be clarified whether your users are created in the internal directory or come from an external user administration, such as Active Directory, LDAP or Corwd ...

It would be right to contact the confluence system administrator.  
Side administrator will probably not be enough?

Edit ?Include Page? Macro trouble
Asked by Pavel_Piguylevski:

During editing a global template Edit 'Include Page' Macro constantly provides an error : Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found, however page from a different space is successfully added, the space permissions are exactly the same as the second one, i am also able to get to this page directly.


Answers:

body: Hello [@Pavel_Piguylevski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3842200) !

I am not sure if I fully understand the current situation. Please allow me to ask a few questions:
> 1. *Are you trying to include the "Include Page Macro" inside a Page Template when the issue happens?*
> 2. *Are you trying to use the "Include Page Macro" when editing a page created with a template?*
> 3. *Are you still able to use the "Include Page Macro" in newly created pages?*
> 4. *What happens if you try to add another page while following the procedure that leads to the behavior you described?*
> 5. *Could you describe step by step what was done to achieve the described behavior?*

I tried to replicate what I understood from the issue by doing the following:
> 1. *Create two new pages*
> 2. *Publish them*
> 3. *In one of the, use the "Include Page Macro" pointing to the other page*
> 4. *Rename the page included within the macro*

The final result was that Confluence automatically updated the macro so it would display the renamed page correctly.

Looking forward to your reply!

comments: author: Pavel_Piguylevski
body: Dear [Diego](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1188952),

3. Start creating a template
4. Insert a "excerpt include" with a link to point 1.
5. That's where i get an error : Unable to render {include}

Answers:

body: [@Jamil Rahimov](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1305037)

Moving a page from one space to another requires that you have permissions to *view* and *delete* pages in the original space and *view* and *add* permissions in the destination space.

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/move-copy-and-hide-pages/>

It should be controllable via space permissions.  
Simply deselect the delete page permissions.

Connect a Jira project to a Confluence page?
Asked by Niels Kampen:

Hi,

I'm new here so if it is a stupid question, please let me know kindly :).

We want to use Confluence for ourselves (R\&D) and our Sales and Operations departments. SO we don't have to maintain the documents in a lot of different places. The thing is, we need it to be clear and not a jungle of a lot of spaces because non-R\&D will not find the information. I created several JIRA projects and connected them to my personal Confluence space so these Confluence spaces are still limited in numbers.

The problem I face now is that every JIRA project connected to that Confluence Space will see all the pages/documents of all the JIRA projects connected to that Space. That is not ideal.

So my question is: How do I connect JIRA and Confluence so it is clear for all departments?

PS: I already thought of:  
- Can I connect a JIRA project to a Confuence page?  
- If I limit the restrictions will it be hidden for the users that are excluded, or will it be visible but not accesible?  
- Do need to use a different app to make it more readable?

Thanks in advance,  
Niels.


Answers:
author: Krzysztof Daukszewicz [CoreSoft Labs]
body: You can define different access groups for each project and match these groups with Confluence spaces, then set the permissions the way you need it.

This, and adding quick links to the Project and Space. This way it should be all organized neatly.

Use predefined task definition for ECS deployment
Asked by Anuj:

I'm following this doc <https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/deploy-to-amazon-ecs-892623902.html> to set up a pipeline to deploy to the ECS cluster.

This doc is using a custom task def JSON file and using the same for the deployment after updating the image name.

Am I required to copy the complete task definition JSON and put that in my repository? My task definition has lots of environment variables in it. I do not want to expose them by putting it in the repository.

Or, the task definition template will update the default task definition and create a new revision. (not overwrite)

How can I use the predefined tasks instead of using the JSON file? Also, where can I find more doc about the pipe.

Stephen Deutsch has some nice user macros in his bitbucket, also he has a user macro for exactly your request: [was this helpful buttons](https://bitbucket.org/stephendeutsch/confluence-user-macros/src/master/feedback%20buttons/was%20this%20helpful%20buttons.vm).

Best browsers for the new Confluence editor
Asked by Billy Abbott:

Ever since switching over to the new editor, we've started noticing significant slow-downs when loading and editing Confluence pages. They feel like client-side browser slowness (we're using Cloud and the slowdowns are consistent no matter how fast the internet connection is), so I've started playing with different browsers to see which ones seem to work best -- so far, I've got no clear winner.

So, anyone out there had a play and worked out what they think is best for speed and responsiveness? The team works across Windows and MacOS, so any recommendations for either would be great.

I'm trying to help move people over to using Confluence rather than Google docs and local Word/etc docs, and the responsiveness/speed thing is getting in the way.


Answers:
author: Billy Abbott
body: I've had some success in speeding things up after disabling plugins in Chrome -- keeping as clean a browser as possible removes a lot of the startup issues with the editor, as well as during editing.

Edge seems pretty good on Mac, which surprised me. Will add Brave to the research list.


author: Lua_Boschman__Comalatech_
body: Also experiencing that slowness, but only on my PC, a rather old device. My Mac which is much faster and more powerful, does not have any trouble. I typically use Firefox on both, and they're both on the same internet. On my PC, I found that it runs a bit fastest on Brave, compared to Firefox or Chrome.


author: ?rp?d Kunszt
body: I also have the same experience. The new editor is unbelievable slow (and dumber than the old but that's another question). It's slower than the old 9600bps serial terminals I worked two decades or more before. It's a definitely a big step back.

I reverted to the old editor by copying and moving pages created earlier. It's still less inconvenient than typing in a full sentence to the new editor.

Please contact EduBrite team at info@edubrite.com and we will be happy to assist you further.


author: Rezgar Cadro _Totem Dev_
body: One of the problems with managing skills in Confluence is (as with any documentation) keeping them up-to-date, given that people come, go, change roles, learn etc.

Being part of the team behind [Skills for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227275/skills-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud), let me suggest an alternative approach of making Jira the central skills authority for the organization.

As opposed to a static documentation-based approach, keeping skills in Jira allows you to make use of them in your day-to-day work process. For example:

1. Include skill requirements in your tasks and have everyone see the qualified experts
2. Search issues by skill requirements or experts
3. Restrict workflow transitions to experts-only
4. Find skill gaps, bottlenecks or scarcity in a given JQL
5. Distribute tasks between qualified experts

With the process revolving around skills, not people, the skills inventory is naturally kept up-to-date as people come, go, learn or change roles. Issues are quickly propagated because they immediately manifest in day-to-day operations.

With Skills for Jira, your users also get interactive org skill map, helping them find SMEs or decision makers with a given combination of skills or checking which skills people have in common. This data is also exposed via API, allowing you to sync it to Confluence.
