Early morning restart of Confluence, June 23rd

In order to correct a misconfiguration in Confluence which could result in additional outages like that which occurred on Tuesday, June 13th between 11:01 and 11:12 am, we will be restarting Confluence on Friday morning, June 23rd, between 6 am and 7 am Eastern Standard Time.   While Confluence restarts, it will be unavailable for use for about ten minutes.

Archiving Inactive Spaces

Over the years, the amount of content in Confluence has grown so that there are more than 1,700 spaces.  Atlassian, the makers of Confluence, tell us that we have a very large Confluence instance.  A number of these spaces are inactive, and the content has not been updated for many years sometimes because the original creators and maintainers of the spaces have left the university.   In order to keep Confluence running well for the users of actively maintained spaces, we are archiving a number of these inactive spaces.  You can see a list under Spaces > Space directory > Archived category.    The content remains in place and accessible although it will not appear in search results unless you check the "Search archived spaces" checkbox.

Change spaces from "Documentation" to "Global Look and Feel" theme

Atlassian, the makers of the Confluence wiki, have been announcing for some time that they intend to retire the "Documentation" theme which controls the way some spaces appear. This theme will be replaced by the "Global Look and Feel" theme at the time when we upgrade to version 6.1 2 of Confluence. Confluence 6.1 2 is now available and we are planning an upgrade.  If your space uses the "Documentation" theme, we encourage you to change the theme now at your leisure in advance of the forced change. We are now in the process of changing any remaining spaces which you have not changed.  A space uses the "Documentation" theme if there is a "Browse" option in the top menu. More details.

Not finding a Confluence account when adding permissions?

Confluence accounts are created at the time a netID holder logs in for the first time.  If you see the error "User netID could not be found.  Please confirm his or her existence with a Confluence Administrator" then please ask the user to log in to Confluence once to establish an account.  After the first log in, you will then be able to add the netID to Confluence space permissions.

Confluence account clean up

We are starting a process to deactivate Confluence accounts belonging to graduated students and staff and faculty who have left the university. This process is reversible and does not remove pages or other content added by these users. Please let us know by writing to confluence at cornell.edu if there are any questions or concerns about this process.
