It is the only field unaccounted for, so I have been adding manually before I preview and Save the page. Is this a bug?\n\nDoes this work across spaces? ie. could I trigger a template set up in Space A within Space B, or do I need to save a template within each space?\n\nMy issue about templates not allowing full page configuration is as follows: to create a template, I go to Browse Space\\>Advanced\\>Templates. I then click on Create New Template, and I get a single box, with no formatting options. I can use markup to create headers and tables etc., but crucially all it does is create a template within one box of a given page.

I'll just venture a guess that template parameters may be of interest to you: <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF35/Form+Field+Markup+for+Templates>\n\nTemplates can be space specific or global (Confluence Admin priv. required). If you have templates you will use in more than one space, it makes sense to make them global. However, you may wish to determine policy on that (do you mind having a larger number of global templates, what proportion of the number of spaces will likely use them, etc.). They can always be copied from one space to another manually (edit, highlight, copy, cancel, switch to other space admin, create, paste and save).\n\nFor the third item, you might be expecting the rich-text editor but that is not implemented for templates. You have to use markup. So, you can put in {section} and other \"full-page\" macros. You have it all there. See <http://confluence.atlassian.com/renderer/notationhelp.action?section=all>\n" } ] } ]

It would be helpful if there was some documentation that described for end users how to deal with that. It was really nice for migration that Confluence supported migrated macros but there are lots of gotchas for end users - like your comment above. Specifically, many plugins will work whether or not they have been marked as compatible in the plugin exchange. Marking them compatible, means they can be installed via UPM and used, but may not be upgraded to fully support usage outside of via wiki markup. So instead of 2 choices - it works/doesn't work, there are 3 - it works in migration mode, it works in 4.0 mode, or it doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to tell the difference.

For a macro to appear in autocomplete or in the macro browser, a plugin author must update their plugin. Documentation on how do this can be found [here](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF30/Updating+macros+for+the+Macro+Browser). These instructions have been available since Confluence 3.0, and we encourage all plugin authors to make this change.\n\nMost macros marked as 3.5.x compatible on the plugin exchange should work in 4.0.

We've spent a LOT of time understanding what it is people love about wiki markup\n\nI'm not going to outline the reasons *why* we moved to a single editor. They've already been outlined [here](http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=51646&start=0&tstart=0). However, I quickly thought I'd share with you the general concerns we've heard (and I presume you have) about the loss ofwiki markup and what we are doing in each of these areas:\n\nAfter gathering all this feedback, I'd group the wiki markupconcerns intro three key areas:\n\n1. It's faster \n People love wiki markupbecause it's much faster. With this in mind, we've introduced [Autoformatting for wiki markup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDqxZ4hWZDI). This allows you to still writewiki markupin the new editor and it gets converted on the fly. Everything from font formatting to lists as well as tables! In fact, we've heard this \"I want a faster editing experience\" feedback since Confluence 3.0 and we've been making speedimprovements since then in the lead up to moving to a single editor (e.g [Keyboard shortcuts](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+3.4+Release+Notes#Confluence34ReleaseNotes-NewKeyboardShortcutsMac-FriendlyToo), [Drag-and-drop attachments](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+3.1+Release+Notes#Confluence31ReleaseNotes-Drag-and-Drop) in the editor, Paste images from clipboard, Autocomplete for [links](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF32/Confluence+3.2+Release+Notes#Confluence32ReleaseNotes-AutocompleteforInsertingLinks), [attachments](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF32/Confluence+3.2+Release+Notes#Confluence32ReleaseNotes-AutocompleteforEmbeddingImagesandDocuments) and [macros](http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+3.3+Release+Notes#Confluence33ReleaseNotes-AutocompleteforInsertingMacros)...)\n2. It's more reliable \n Without a doubt, wiki markupis reliable. You don't have to deal with the complexities and inconsistencies between various browsers. With that in mind we set ourselves a challenging task of making this editor more robust then every before. Web technologies and browsers have made some *great* leaps over the last few years and we are confident now is the time to move to a single editor.\n3. Some users prefer to author content without formatting \n This was certainly the minority of users, but still a valid use case. For that we've created the[wiki markup styler](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/606145) plugin to allow people to see content non-formatted as they work in the editor.\n\nWith all this in mind, we still plan to make an investment in each of these areas. In particular, the move to a single editor highlights **our on-going commitment to the reliability of the editing experience**. Every release we plan on making these improvements.\n\nWe are committed to a single editor moving forward. We cannot continue to invest in two separate editing experiences, if we are to move forward as a product and start attacking a lot of the highly-requested problems our customers want solved, we must be a on a single editor.\n\nI'm really excited about the prospect of this editor and the amazing things we can do with it. I've also spoken to a lot of customers that feel the same way and have helped us get here today. So if you've got some specific feedback, we would *love* to hear form you as well. You can help contribute to it by raising bug requests and improvement suggestions at [jira.atlassian.com](http://jira.atlassian.com/).

Atlassian have made their choice and are not budging -- other than to offer lots of tips to power users on how to work around the numerous inefficiencies in the WYSIWYG editor.\n\nMaybe if they offered just plain old XHTML source code editing, it might change some people's minds. But all WYSIWYG all the time (and no choice for plain text editing) is a deal killer for us. We were considering an upgrade, but are now looking at alternatives and planning a migration to a different platform.

Overwhelming feedback was that the new RTE was better than the old one (esp. wrt tables) but more cumbersome for things like setting required macro parameters (such as the language parameter for code samples) and for numbered lists that contain screen shots or macros between the steps.\n\nThe gist of most feedback was that plain text editing of some sort had to at least be an option in any system we use. Without that option, we'd risk that the \"power users\" (again, mostly developers and QA) who push adoption across the board and provide informal support for non-techies would lose their enthusiasm and overall use of the system would decline. These power users \\*want\\* plain text only, and because Confluence used to offer this option, they were all in on previous versions. So for now, we are sticking with 3.5 and exploring alternatives such as Mediawiki or something similar (sigh...)\n\nBTW, I'm not trying to say that everyone should be like us, but I get the feeling that groups with our needs (i.e. most users strongly prefer plain text editing) are no longer the target market for Atlassian. I guess somebody did some business math and figured that making the editor more \"Word-like\" and forcing everyone to use it would gain them more customers than they lose. They've made their decision to go with their version of \"New Coke\" and clearly have no plans to offer a plain-text editing option, so users like us are being forced to vote with our feet.

(NOTE: If you use Crowd for your user management, you do not need to do this.): \n\n\\* \\<hibernate name=\"Hibernate Repository\" key=\"hibernateRepository\" description=\"Hibernate Repository\" cache=\"true\" /\\> \n\nIf you have delegated your user management to Crowd, you will also need to copy the Crowd client library and configuration files from your old Confluence installation to your new Confluence installation: \n\n\\* \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/crowd-integration-client-X.X.X.jar and \\<Installation-Directory\\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/crowd.properties. \n\\* NOTE: This steps is not needed if you are upgrading Confluence to version 3.5.x \n\nIf you need more information, please refer to this article - <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CROWD/Integrating+Crowd+with+Atlassian+Confluence>. \n\nf) Start your new Confluence instance. \n\nAdditional information: \n\n\\* Please consult this article - <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Setup+Guides> about data base setup and JDBC drivers. \n\\* Into the confluence.cfg.xml file, the parameter you might need to edit are: \n\n\\<property name=\"hibernate.connection.password\"\\>database_password\\</property\\> \n\\<property name=\"hibernate.connection.url\"\\>jdbc:mysql://database_server_name/database_name?autoReconnect=true\\</property\\> \n\\<property name=\"hibernate.connection.username\"\\>database_username\\</property\\> \n\nAlso, more information about upgrading Confluence can be found in this link - <http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluence>.\n\nSo in the case during an upgrade what you need to do about the database would be to point your new install to your backup from the previous version, then the new tables will be automatically created and the DB will be ready for the new version.
