body: Why confluence search results not match with collapsible object content???

what can I do to search content inside collapsible object??


author: Oleg
body: I would like it to be a word inside a sentence (not a separate line), when clicked on, a window with text appears. Like a link, but faster, more locally and more compactly without leaving the page you are reading.

body: Hi [@viplav jain](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4423220) ,

Use 'Expand' Macro to embeds an expandable text box into your page.

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-expand-macro/>


author: Lisa Grau
body: Hi!

You can use the Expand macro from Other Macros -\> Formatting -\> Expand to collaps/expand certain content and the Code block macro inside if you need a code formatting.

comments: author: viplav jain
body: As suggested I am using Expand Macro, but using Expand Macro, I am not able to change the text (Expand source). In the above two screenshots, you can see on collapsing and expanding the text remains the same that is "Expand source".

I want the text to change like collapse on collapsing and expand on expanding. How can I do that![Scrn_1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146293i49D56CB274FF40A6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Scrn_1.png")![Scrn2.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146294i7222632E0AAFE0B3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Scrn2.PNG")


author: Nancy Mooney
body: I do like the expand - but why is the title de-emphasized - that is in light grey vs a bolded black title? I would prefer for the title to stand out.


author: Xavier LN
body: Yes exactly. It would need to be emphasized a lot in some cases. Ideally we could apply Title 1/2/3 formatting for instance.

How do I switch editor to Legacy on a free cloud account?
Asked by Martin Page:

I am trialling cloud Confluence before I throw money into it, and was used to all the fantastic functions now deemed legacy that I was using on my work confluence (that will all now turn into garbage on eventual transfer).

All the community answers i see on how to switch say to send a support ticket. This isn't an option for free, users and I'm not switching to paid in a system which so far seems to be arbitrarily removing key features and making us all live in a minimalist land of blank white space and random hanging objects.

It's like Frank Lloyd Wright took over confluence. Can anyone help?


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hey [@Martin Page](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4419115)

I don't think there is a way to enable the legacy editor on the free plan. Sorry!

I did want to mention that my team is testing the effects of migration and conversation to the new editor on our old documentation content written in Confluence Server.

We've been pleasantly surprised by how few issues we've actually encountered. Most issues have resulted from us misusing features in the old editor. Stuff like tables within tables. So I'd hope that part of the move works well for you.

comments: author: Martin Page
body: Thanks Matt for being so responsive. Do you know what will happen to the panels on conversion? My whole design for my hundreds of users relies on it. It enables a clean separated content design, and more importantly can be easily applied by non-web people without css or HTML knowledge.   

the default (like many others out there) seems to be lots of blobs of information hanging in midair with no separation or delineation (or nif there is it requires ugly tables or coding), which to be blunt goes contrary to how people read and explore.

<br />

This function has LITERALLY made me able to coax an entire division of a university that serves tens of thousands of people, to shift to using confluence where before they thought it was hard to use, ugly and didn't use it.

Is there a way to check who watched a video? or clicked on a Link?
Asked by yavuz koyuncu:

Hi, we want to upload a video, and want the whole team to watch it. We would like to check, who already watched the video, and who is still missing.

body: Hi [@yavuz koyuncu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4423256)

As [@Bill Bailey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502089) said (thank you!), our app Viewtracker is able to track the usage of Confluence. On Server and Data Center Viewtracker even tracks attachment views separately from page views.

If you don't need to track page views and just attachments (such as videos) we also offer this functionality standalone in [Attachment Tracking for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223041/attachment-tracking-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

By the way, if you are using Confluence Cloud, we are evaluating whether we will also offer this as a dedicated app for the Cloud.

Best Regards  
Nick


author: David at David Simpson Apps
body: When you say watched a video, this becomes a question of what time of video?

It it's one embedded with a standard HTML **video** tag, then that would be done by adding a javascript event listener to the page.

If the video is embedded from say YouTube or Vimeo, then you cannot add event listeners because they are embedded from elsewhere.

For link clicks, that would also be done by adding a javascript event listener to the page.

So here's the rub. **In Confluence Cloud** , developers have no access to the [DOM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document_Object_Model) to add event listeners to the page, so none of this can be done.

In **Confluence Server/DC**, adding event listeners are possible, so you can start monitoring all kinds of interactions.

Add hours, minutes into Confluence Pages
Asked by To Dong Luu:

Hi, Atlassian support,

I am looking for a way to add hours and minutes into Confluence Pages. Do you have any way to help me?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Could you explain a little more about what you're trying to achieve here?

I mean, a simple answer to "add hours and minutes into Confluence pages" is just "Ok, so write it in the content as you see fit". Literally, the body of the content can have things like "The pub opens at 11:00 every day" or "There are 4 hours and 20 minutes to closing time".

I do not believe that is what you are asking for though. Could you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to get to?

Rookie Problem editing document
Asked by Martin Porto:

I want to edit a page and when I edit it, a blank page appears, I add screenshots to see where I'm missing.

Thanks so much for the help!


Answers:
author: Svenja Lorenzen
body: Hi [@Martin Porto](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4422714),

have you deleted the tip panel before and maybe didn't publish the current version?

In the editor you see the actual status of the page. This means changes you made before but that you have not published yet are saved in the editor.

If you want the tip panel back try to:

1) click on the three-dot-menu

2) click on "Revert to last published version"

After that your edit screen shouldn't be empty anymore.

Hope this helps!

comments: author: Martin Porto

I did what you recommend, i retuned the version to V1and at the time of giving edit the same thing happens.

In the first image we see the space as it is.

In the second image we see the same space after clicking edit.

And in the third image we see the next step after clicking on preview.

I have no idea because in edit, not even the name appears and then when I preview it, at least the title appears, but nothing else.  

this are my first step on confluence... they are giving me a headache

How to open PowerPoint in show mode from Confluence link?
Asked by Matthew Higbee:

I have a macro-enabled PowerPoint on SharePoint and would link to have a link on a Confluence page to the file. We'd like the presentation to open in kiosk mode so that navigation is limited to embedded actions in the file. The presentation has a macro to open in kiosk mode, but it must be run when the file is opened. I can achieve the behavior using a desktop shortcut with a command line switch in the target. I've tried saving it in both .pptx and ppsx formats but both open in editing view.

Is there anyway that this can be accomplished from a link on a Confluence page?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Matthew Higbee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4369131)

You will need to save the PowerPoint file as a PowerPoint show file. This will then run as a slideshow only.

What's your favorite form macro?
Asked by Andre Larsen:

Hello!

I'm using Confluence Cloud and my team's looking to utilize forms on our pages. We would like to keep options similar to Gravity Forms by allowing email notifications, reviewing entries in one location, having a plethora of options within the form, such as radio buttons, drop-down options, etc.

Zapier integration is a plus!   

What is your recommendation to use within the Atlassian Marketplace?   

<br />


Answers:
author: Andre Larsen
body: Thanks Alex! We have had a chance to use Confiforms and decided we'll use the IFrame macro for Google Forms as well as Jira's ServiceDesk, alternating between the two based on use-case.   

We did find Confiforms had a steep learning curve which would hinder our employees from being able to create their own documents with forms so decided we'd go with something that would stop that bottleneck from being created.   

I really appreciate your response and we may revisit this again in the future.   

<br />

Best,  
Andre


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Andre Larsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4422603)

Sure, thank you for the feedback and trying out ConfiForms!

If an iframe works for you and satisfies all the requirements then let it be!

But when you need a more tight integration between your Confluence and Jira, and the user permissions and access rights, and custom notifications, and filtered views, and field access permissions, then you are welcome back to use ConfiForms ;-)

Answers:

Cannot edit custom confluence templates since they've moved?
Asked by Ali Shah:

Templates used to live in space settings, under content tools. They have now moved under the new heading of Templates, in the menu bar at the top of the screen.   

![Screenshot 2021-06-03 at 18.31.29.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146044iF8E74C8B8618B3D9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2021-06-03 at 18.31.29.png")  
Since the move, I cannot find a way to edit a 'custom' (not standard) template that I created and have been using for over a year now.   

![Screenshot 2021-06-03 at 18.33.29.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146045i86C5ACB977D34519/image-dimensions/253x146?v=v2 "Screenshot 2021-06-03 at 18.33.29.png")  

Clicking 'custom' above does nothing. Clicking on the tile itself brings up the template in the right-hand pane, but only allows you to use the template, not edit it.  

I also looked to see if I could create a new custom template, but I cannot do that either. Not sure this is a rights issue or missing functionality?  

Does anyone know how to edit a custom template?  

NB: I am also a Site Admin.


Answers:
author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Ali Shah](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4422495)

If you are a site admin you should see them and edit them. Ask another site admin and see if they have the same issue. I would suggest you contact atlassian support if it affects all site admins.

How to create a template with nested pages
Asked by Robert McCabe:

I created a simple template that served my basic page needs. When you created a document with the template, we could define placeholders and layout etc, which was great.

- Template Page 1

Over time, our needs for this template have changed and we'd like to do something more complex when creating the template and create a full structure with multiple templated pages within. Something like this:

- Template Root  
- Templated Page 1  
- Templated Page 2  
- Templated Page A  
- Templated Page B  
- Templated Page 3

As you can see, there are nested pages here. We'd like this to happen at the click of a given button. With a predefined set of templates we create joined together.

My question

Does any mechanism like this already exists? Is there any way to create a template (or Blueprint) that can ask a couple of question (similar to this modal shown below) that can name the nested pages created?

![Modal.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/146038i9965DF66B7FE9C46/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Modal.png")

Thanks for pointers in advance!

Great question about creating guided blueprints to create pages with seeded child content. You most likely won't be able to do what you're wanting with a blueprint and will have to either explore an [Atlassian Marketplace app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) or go further with blueprints.

For blueprints, here are the developer resources to start your journey:

* [Confluence Cloud Blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/blueprints/)
* [Confluence Cloud Connect Modules \| Blueprints](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/modules/blueprint/)
* The following will require a [Developer environment.](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/getting-started-with-connect/)
  * [Creating blueprints with Confluence Connect](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/multi-page-blueprints-with-confluence-connect/)

I hope the above information proves helpful in creating your custom blueprints to prompt input upon creation.

How to remove em dash from Content by Label macro output?
Asked by Kim Wallace:

I'm looking to remove the em dash that precedes the page excerpt in my content by label macro output.

I've added CSS to

The '-' character is part of the [Content by Label Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/content-by-label-macro-145566.html) output to separate the title and the page excerpt.

You might be able to [remove](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+hide+elements+in+Confluence+using+CSS+or+JavaScript) the dash by using the following JavaScript code within an [HTML macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/html-macro-38273085.html) in the same page.

      var currentText = $( this ).html();
      $( this ).html(currentText.substring(2));
