Edit paragraphs of a page instead of a whole page
Asked by C Fenijn:

Hi there,

Instead of being a separate app for Confluence, this should be part of the **basic functionality** of Confluence, IMHO:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/33286/inplace-editor-for-confluence>

Now it is really a pain to edit relatively long pages. One should be able to edit a specific paragraph within a page.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Why? You'd have to implement a complicated system of selecting paragraphs, and load the authors with the duty of having to define them for Confluence to understand them. You'd also have to have a system for stopping editing one paragraph and moving to edit another one when you notice something in a different one near the one you are editing.

It's far more simple to edit an entire page.

comments: author: C Fenijn
body: The answer to "Why?" is: A better user experience.

It is not simple at all to edit a page without being able to edit chapters and/or paragraphs in it. That is why people implemented a plugin for Confluence for it and that is also why other wiki-software outside Atlassian does have this functionality.

quick way to link to different parts of a page using search
Asked by Josh Dunnagan:

I've been asked to create a knowledge base within Confluence. This is going to be for your technical support team. After being used for a couple of weeks we could have hundreds of issues/errors noted on the page. I'm struggling to figure out two things.

1. how do I enable them to enter an error id and solution at the top of the page and then hit a "submit" button and the data is added to the end of a list of information?

2. how do I enable the search functionality so when they type in an error ID the page scrolls to the error they are searching for.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Josh Dunnagan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4884131) Welcome to Community!

You mention that this is for your technical support team: where are they getting the error information from? For example, are they copying details from bugs that have been raised on your support portal? Or maybe just identified in a Jira software project?

comments: author: Josh Dunnagan
body: Hi [@Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3327113) ,

They are getting the information from our internal software. They would be copying the information over to Confluence then entering in what they did to resolve the issue. Then in the future anyone on the support team would be able to look up the error and see what was done to resolve it.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Thanks!

Why do inline comments work for some bullet lines but not others?
Asked by Chris Rollins:

When hovering over paragraphs or lines you get the opportunity to add a comment against that whole line etc. I have a bullet list which only allows inline comments on a selection of the bullet lines. Anyone know why?

Have you perhaps selected the status macro when you were trying to comment? If you select text AND a macro, or even sometimes just text inside a macro, you can't make an inline comment.

Move from Oracle JDK to Adoptium
Asked by Joe Roper:

My management has asked that I look into moving both our Confluence (7.15.1) and Bitbucket (7.20.0) Server installs from using the Oracle JDK to using the bundled Adoptium JDK for financial reasons. Can someone point me to any documentation relevant to this task because I haven't been able to find any in my searching. Is it as easy as un-installing the Oracle Java?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to ensure that the environment paths are updated for the new Java, so the users running your services use the new one, but yes, it is as simple as un-installing the Oracle Java.

comments: author: Joe Roper
body: So, to clarify, I can manually install the AdoptiumOpenJDK (can't see it anywhere on our server to be able to update the environment variables, and from my understanding, the Adoptium is only installed from the bundle IF there is no other JDK, correct me if I'm wrong). I can then update the path (environment) variables, turn off or uninstall the Oracle Java services and then start my Confluence and Bitbucket services and all should be good?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, that's correct.


author: Thiago Masutti
body: Just sharing some Confluence documents about what Nic mentioned.  
Similar concept applies to Bitbucket.

personal space is missing
Asked by Sanjeeth Singh G:

Hi, our company have migrated to confluence 7.13.4. however the entire pages that i saved in the personal space in the previous version of confluence is missing.  

how can i enable personal space in this version of confluence


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Sanjeeth Singh G](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4883706)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

To create a personal space in Confluence Server -

1. Choose your profile picture at the right side of the Confluence header
2. Select **Add Personal Space...**
3. Hit **Create**

This will create a personal space for you. You can refer the detailed steps [on this link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf713/create-your-personal-space-1077912996.html), if you want to lock it down so that it is visible only to you.

Is there any other way of creating the webhooks for confluence cloud without App descriptor
Asked by Kshitij Katiyar:

Like in confluence server ,we can create a webhook using either the given UI Interface or Using the given api :-rest/api/webhooks/ .

<br />

Is there a either a similar way or any other way of creating the webhook for cloud confluence as well apart from using the app descriptors like atalssian-connect.json files.

Like given in following document:- <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/using-webhooks/>

Webhook for Confluence Server:-https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/webhooks/


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: Server and Cloud have completely different architectures when it's comes to customisation.

If you want to use webhooks in Cloud, you'll need to use Connect or maybe Forge (although I don't know much about webhooks in that approach).

Space Champions. What do they do?
Asked by Colm Maguire:

How would all define that role? Do you use one? What are the responsibilities and roles of a space champion?


Answers:

from what I think it is not a defined term - it could come with responsibility to keep Confluence tidy and easy to understand, unless however you define it any other way.

Some insights could provide the following article, in case you might be interested in reading:

author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Colm Maguire](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4686875) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

This question is in which context ? In our KB articles I have seen we mention champions , which basically means they are the administrators and has all permissions administer the space. For example, you can refer the below snippet from the KB article

### I want to control who can create spaces {#toc-hId-1940576108}

You can set which groups or individuals can create spaces in [Global Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf714/global-permissions-overview-1087525308.html).

If you choose to limit who can create spaces, we recommend granting this permission to a group of **champions**, who can handle requests, create the spaces, and work with stakeholders to set up their space permissions in the most appropriate way for your organisation. These people don't need to be Confluence Administrators, they just need the Create Space global permission.

So, i believe thats what is the context of referring to admins as the champions.

Have a good day!

Thanks,

Srinath T

author: Colm Maguire
body: No not at all. I am talking about the people who champion a particular space, make sure the information in it is up to date, reliable, and correct. It seems the only place people don't speak about space champions is here in Atlassian. I have seen references to the term across the internet. I have an organisation with a wiki, that has got out of hand and we are trying to reorganise. One of the ways we are doing this is asking teams to appoint a champion. One who will guard the space if you will.

Problems with pictures replicating and deleting
Asked by Sofia V. Nielsen:

Hi,

I'm having trouble in my confluence document where I have a table with data and pictures. When I logged in today many of the pictures had replicated (eg. I had 4 different pictures in the same square and when I logged in this had changed to 4 pictures of the first picture(replicates), which means that I lost 3 pictures!, by doing nothing!). When I tried to correct this by uploading the correct pictures from my iPhone, it happened again after I published the page.

Please help as I'm using this as my lab book for my master project and I therefore need to keep well track on all my data/pictures, so I have everything when I'm handing in my thesis next year.

- Best,

Sofia

author: Sofia V. Nielsen
body: PLEASE HELP. I still have this problem, that it's dublicating one of two images I add and delete the other one! It have cost me so much time. The first time I'm "saving/publishing" the page it's fine, but then next time it can change everything. This is really critical when working with data that are the picture and they just disappear.

Thanks,

Sofia

comments: author: Sofia V. Nielsen
body: I can even see in the "attachment" section of the pictures that it even have replicated the picture numbers.

author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Sofia V. Nielsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4883423)

By any chance, could your pictures have identical file names? If you upload a file with the same file name as an existing attached picture, Confluence won't add -1 or -2 to the additional attachment.

comments: author: Sofia V. Nielsen
body: They almost have the same name like IMG_1411 and IMG_1412. So I guess it would still be possible for it to know the different.


author: Piyush A _STR_
body: Hi [@Sofia V. Nielsen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4883423)

Welcome to the Community.

This is strange, I'll suggest you to add the images in the attachment section first, not in the Page Edit mode. Then add those images from the attachment as a link.

comments: author: Sofia V. Nielsen
body: Hi,

Thank you!

This still causes me very big problem and a lot of time wasted. I can see in the attachment section that it have duplicated the pictures and deleted the other picture (I add two different pictures at a time). Also it doesn't matter if I'm copying them in once at a time or 2 pictures at the same time. it still delete one and dubblicate the other one.

Hope you can help! :)

How to get the Necessary information from confluence server webhook payload

{  "timestamp": 1650356000431,  "event": "page_created",  "userKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",  "page": {    "id": xxxxxx  }}

Answers:
author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Kshitij Katiyar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4883303)   
I hope you are doing well.

You can get more details about page and users by using the [Confluence REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-server-rest-api/).

I don't think there's a public (supported) API to check if a user can read a specific content.

For that purpose you may use [Gatekeeper](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf716/check-who-can-view-a-page-1108682606.html)'s internal APIs, such as the below:

```
GET
```

```
<Confluence_Base_URL>/plugins/gatekeeper-plugin/who-can-view/evaluate.action?spaceKey=<spacekey>&pageId=<pageid>&hideAnonymous=false&ignoreRestrictions=false&start=0&count=10&filter=<username>
```

I hope that helps.

How to display Confluence children pages in table view?
Asked by Cindy:

Is there a way to display Confluence children pages in a table.  
For example, I have subpages a, b and c, and want them show in a table with page name, author and creation date.  
Thanks.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Cindy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4279224)

This is a good use case to use the Page Properties and Page Properties Report macro, which work together to enable you to show summary information from one page on another page.

To use this macro, you need to add a [**Page Properties** macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html) on your subpages, and then you can add a [**Page Properties Report** macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) on another page, where you can display the information. The only additional thing you will have to do here is to add page properties macro on all child pages from where the information needs to be pulled in. Hope this helps.

I do not think that it would be easy on Confluence Cloud. Might be even impossible. For on-prem I remember that there was an option by having own crawler and modifying layout but on Cloud customization is limited.

You might want to check this page for reference. Maybe it would give you (or someone) and idea.
