DEV Service Updates / Impacts

1. Certain Browser versions present issues while editing pages.  Use of a different browser is recommended when this occurs.

Timeouts can also be caused by outdated browser cache. Clearing your cache and cookies often resolves these issues and is a recommended step from Atlassian.

2. PDF exports are currently disabled due to system stability issues.
As a workaround, please export your page(s) to Microsoft Word and then print it to PDF.Dashboard

News

Outage early Sunday morning, July 12th

Early Sunday morning, on July 12th, beginning at 6 am EST, the Confluence wiki will be unavailable for several hours while we move the content and database to a new server.

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.

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, accessible and editable although it will not appear in search results unless you check the "Search archived spaces" checkbox.
