How to bulk pages move in Confluence
Asked by Ron Jacob:

I need to move list of pages in Confluence from one Space to another.

Is there any bulk page movement command in Confluence

body: Hi,

As [@Thomas Schlegel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781483) suggested [here](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Confluence-Bulk-move-pages/qaq-p/333390), you can
> put all the pages under one parent page and move this parent page to the other space. The child pages will be moved with the parent page

This should work as long as you don't have a sophisticated tree.

body: How to move the Parent Page from one space to another? What do mean by sophisticated tree. ?


author: Grigory Salnikov
body: Hi!

Sorry for not getting back to you for a couple of days.

By a sophisticated tree I meant a sophisticated page tree when you have several layers of pages. I took a deeper look into the issue and it might not be the problem at all. You just move your parent page and all its child pages are moved with it.

Let's assume you have this structure:

Page 1

Page 2

...

Page N

To move all the pages to another space at once you should first create a "Parent page" and place all other pages in it. You can do it using "Reorder pages" functionality:

![move_page_3.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22167i71F347CB4DDB8FEF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "move_page_3.jpg")

So that it looks like:

Parent page

\|_ Page 1

\|_ Page 2

\|_ ...

\|_ Page N

Next, you just move your parent page to another space and that's it, - all its childs pages are moved with it:

![move_page_1.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22170i55AC134A80403BA0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "move_page_1.jpg")![move_page_2.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22169i77D5A915D60C3756/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "move_page_2.jpg")

There's also an option to reorder pages during the process (though I never used it myself I can't tell you how it works).

Hope this helps.

Confluence Page Tree Search macro results - how are they ordered?
Asked by SUKANTAJ:

As per document starting from a specified parent (root) page and return the search results.

But are they ordered alphabetically, in order of date last updated, size of page/file


Answers:
author: NotTheRealStephenSifersNOPENOPENOPENOPE
body: As referenced here:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-understand-the-ranking-of-confluence-s-search-results-785614686.html>

What affects a document's score? {#toc-hId-1796042441}
------------------------------------------------------

All documents have the same chance to appear in search results. Weightings are made up of the following:

### Document Age {#toc-hId--952628025}

Newer Documents will be given a slightly higher score than older documents. Keep in mind that doesn't mean that newer documents will appear first, just that they give a slightly higher weight.

### Title {#toc-hId-790182310}

Confluence will look at the number of words within a title (excluding minor words, such as "the", "and" etc), and will check how many times a word appears in the title.

### Content {#toc-hId--1761974651}

As with the title, Confluence will look at the number of words within the content, and check how many times the number of words appear in the content.

### Popularity {#toc-hId--19164316}

Popular pages are those that have more incoming links. A page that has more incoming links will be ranked higher than other pages that share similar content.
Is it possible to set permissions at a content (Panel?) level? Or just page level?
Asked by Simon Theakston:

Hi there,

I'm just wondering how granular permissions can be.

What I'd like to be able to do is to have a piece of content within a page (perhaps a panel?) that is only accessible to admin level.

So, for example, we have a page gives an overview of a particular partner that we're working with. But only a special section of the page containing the username/password to access that partner's portal is visible to admins.

Is that possible at all?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Simon,

Besides the site level, permissions can be set on a page or space level.

The workaround for this would be to use the [Excerpt Include Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html). Then you could restrict the source of the excerpt to just the users who need to see it. Then, if someone views the page that is showing the excerpt, they'll be able to see everything except the excerpt.

For Server users, [there's an add-on](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.visibility/server/overview?_ga=2.197082796.125829349.1525678797-1485076413.1519291985) that can help with this, but I have checked and it isn't made available for Cloud at this time.

Regards,

Shannon

No worries about the duplicate! I was just curious if you noticed the same behavior.

User macros have to be set new every day. Because of restart of Confluence?
Asked by Yousaf:

Hello together,

we updated our Confluence System to 6.7.2 and since then our user macros don?t work properly anymore.

The problem is that the macros which are already being used on a page can?t be edited. And that user macros can not be inserted into a page. When I click on a user macro the mask to edit the page appears, but the content does not load.

Like in this picture, it just loads and loads all the time but nothing shows up.

So the only solution I have till now is to always copy the macro and make a new one. Every day.

Could it have something to do with confluence resetting every day?

Thanks and regards![conf.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/21423iDBD8712D2818D46B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "conf.png")

It appears that you're running into this bug:

* [CONFSERVER-54778](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-54778)

According to the comments, a fix was released in 6.8.0.

I would recommend creating a staging environment and upgrade that to 6.8.0 and see if it resolves your issue.

Let us know if you have any questions!

comments: author: Yousaf
body: Hello Shannon,

At the moment, we can not update Confluence and also not test an update on Stage.

Is there any other way to solve this issue for the time being?

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'm afraid the only ways to fix it is to upgrade to 6.6.4 (the latest enterprise release) or 6.8.something or above.

If i have a server license for confluence, can i pay the maintenance only 1 year on 3
Asked by Ant TR:

My point is : i don't need maintenance, only new versions of confluence once a while.

To spend less money, i can wait every 3 years to get new versions of confluence by paying the one year maintenance fee.

Is it possible to do things that way ?


Answers:
author: Joey F_
body: Hi Ant TR,

We are unable to separate the cost of the license and the maintenance as it comes together most especially on your initial purchase. Renewing maintenance is optional after the initial 12 months period. In your case, you may want to purchase for a 12-month period and decide whether you wish to renew the maintenance after the initial 12-month period. You may refer to our <https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing#softwaremaintenance-3> for more information.


author: Gezim Shehu [Communardo]
body: As far as I know, renewing your license will also include the cost of the period you were off maintenance.

Modify search parameters in Confluence
Asked by Hannah B?lling:

Hi everyone,

I just set up a Confluence space, in which I use a third party tool (Scroll Versions) to be able to define a static URL for a page, but use a different title for it.

Now my only problem is that the confluence search doesn't seem to include the titles I gave the pages in the search, since a page will show up if I search for the static url name I gave it, but not when I search for the title I gave the page itself.

Is there a way that I can modify the search.vm with other parameters or something like that?

Help would be much appreciated. :)


Answers:
author: roman
body: Hi Hannah,

Confluence search only indexes the actual Confluence page title, which might be different from the Scroll Page title you defined. We have a feature request already in our Jira: <https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-3240>. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for now.

Cheers,  
Roman.

How do you create a Spredsheet in confluence?
Asked by Dulmini S:

I need to maintain List of data. And its needs to be modified my multiple users.

I would like to keep this data in Confluence as it is easy for all users to update it.

Prefer to organise this data in a spreadsheet due to some for features it provides.

I have seen confluence has its own spreadsheet and wondering how I can I create one?


Answers:
author: Capi [resolution]
body: Hi Dulmini, I'm currently testing [Excellentable](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/Addteq.Excellentable/cloud/overview) and it works fine, particularly if you're using your spreadsheets for lists and not for complex calculations.

In my case, we'll be using it for tables of articles, references, topic ideas... mainly content marketing documentation.

Admittedly, it has its own quirks, like the way you apply filters; but it integrates pretty well into confluence, is fast and has proper support with Intercom


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Dulmini,

Confluence does not have its own spreadsheet. You can [create tables in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/tables-136463.html), but this won't have the same functionality of a spreadsheet.

You may be able to use a 3rd party add-on for this:

* [Confluence spreadsheets add-ons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=confluence&query=spreadsheets)

Otherwise, you can just use Excel or another spreadsheet app, and attach the spreadsheet files directly into Confluence.

Kind regards,

Shannon

How to read atlassian-synchrony.log
Asked by Mark:

Recently, our confluence server (no cloud version) keep have problem on Collaborative editing. The error prompt is
> This page is taking longer to load than usual. Give it a few moments, then try refreshing. Still having issues? Contact your Confluence admin.

When user report error, we restart synchrony will fix the error. We never need to change firewall or windows services.

author: Mark
body: I don't have a chance to try.

But when the error occur, all users get the same error and all not able to edit page or add page. Same error with IE or chrome and with different PC. So I believe it is server side issue.

unable to view spaces shortcuts
Asked by Brian Vent:

After extensive research, my +add shortcut option isn't showing up

a. I'm the site admin

b. I'm on Confluence Cloud

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Add-space-shortcut-links-in-quot-new-look-quot-Confluence-Cloud/qaq-p/626823>

Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Brian,

Are you referring to the q\*\*\*\*\*\*\*s.atlassian.net instance? I had a look at this and as a Space Admin I am able to add a shortcut when editing the space sidebar.

1. Can you confirm you are indeed a space administrator for the space in question? This is not the same as being a site admin.
2. Confirm that you're not on the overview page of your instance but within a specific space.
3. Confirm that you first clicked the **edit** icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the space sidebar. This looks like a pencil. Once you click that, you should be able to add the shortcut.

If you're still having issues, please let me know which space you're trying to edit and I can have a look.

Regards,

Shannon

You had put no effort into thinking about what you were asking, not given us any information to work with, and then expected us to do your job for you. That is more offensive to us than I was to you.

I would like to suggest that you have a think about your attitude, and then look at the Atlassian stack again, and then ask some questions about it if you have any, but please ask them properly, instead of just throwing words on a page.

Add tickbox to all cells of a table
Asked by Hossein Jalali:

We have a table that has around 40 rows and 8 columns, all of these require a tickbox.

Is there away to fill it with the tickboxes without having to click on the icon per cell for each?

Copy + Paste does not work.


Answers:
author: Courtney Langdon
body: Do you have the ability to edit source? If you do, you can do a find and replace for your empty table cells, i.e. find

"\<br/\>"

and replace with

"\<ac:task-list\>\<ac:task\>\<ac:task-id\>1\</ac:task-id\>\<ac:task-status\>incomplete\</ac:task-status\>\<ac:task-body\>\<span\> \</span\>\</ac:task-body\>\</ac:task\>\</ac:task-list\>"

This may give you random checkboxes in other parts of your page if you used \<br/\>, but they're easy enough to remove. Just make sure you replace with that exact text above, because the find and replace doesn't appear to work with carriage returns (but neither does Notepad or Word, either).

Good luck!

update confluence page for a dynamic jira query
Asked by Ram Sharma:

I have a confluence page that captures the execution statistics for features and build-releases.

There are 28 Queries, as below for each of the "affected product-features", that helps me present my statistics.  

**affectedVersion** in(xxxx_1.17.1) AND "**Affects Product Features**" in ("MPLS")

Now for the next build-release, I have to repeat all 28 queries, with only "Affected Version" changed.   
For this statically, I have to go to each of the product-jira query and edit the query.

I would like to hear if there is a way to update the Build at a single Text box or a parent Query, and have all the 28 subqueries updated dynamically.

This would save time and also prevent the possibility of human-error, where one of the queries (out of 28) still points to the old data.
