titleWhich license should I choose?

The Atlassian license tier determines the Refined license type you need.

titleCan I use a developer license for a non-production server?

The license system is built by Atlassian. They give the following answer:

"Marketplace app customers can get developer licenses for apps just as they can for host Atlassian products. Developer licenses are intended for staging or development environments only. Customers who have purchased Marketplace apps can get developer licenses by clicking the View Developer License link from their license page on my.atlassian.com.

The license types between the app and host application must match. That is, an app with a developer license only works in a host application that also has a developer license. The same applies to production licenses—a host application with a production license only takes apps that also have production licenses. If an app license type doesn't match its host application, the Universal Plugin Manager reports a license error status of Incompatible with product license (wrong type) for that app.”

titleI'm on Server - will my Refined sites stop working after the end of life of Atlassian Server?

You can still use our Server apps after February 16, 2024. However, we’ll not publish any new versions and we don’t offer support or maintenance. We encourage our Server customers to migrate to Data Center or to Cloud instead, where we will continue to release updates and offer support.

titleHow can I revert to the Confluence theme after enabling Refined globally?

This can be done from the Confluence admin UI:

  1. Navigate to Confluence Administration > Look and feel > Themes.

  2. Go to Choose new theme and select Default theme.

Note that content placed in additional Refined sites (not the global one) will still render with the Refined theme. To revert these space themes, move the space to the global site or the uncategorised section.

titleWhat is the Refined Layout Space (rwlayoutkey)?

The Refined Layout Space is a required component to ensure the Landing pages, Space Layouts and User Dashboards work as intended.

For these Layouts it’s possible to add macros and attachments to be displayed. In order to render these as on any regular page there needs to be a Space & page to render it in. This is the purpose of the Layout space, which will internally create temporary pages when editing layouts.

Under normal circumstances you’d never need to interact with this space, which is why it is archived and hidden from the regular places where you’d list spaces.

How do I access the the Layout Space?

In most cases the key is setup as rwlayoutkey and is reachable via yourDomain.com/display/rwlayoutkey

If for whatever reason that key was taken when the space was created, it might live under a different key. In that case you can find it by:

  1. Navigate to Refined Admin > Layouts

  2. Under Space Layout, scroll down and edit the Global Space Layout.

  3. From here you’d be presented with an information box containing a link to the Layout Space:

Info

To store attachments and permissions, Refined uses a special space called Refined Layout Space. Do not remove or edit this space since it is essential for site homes and space layouts to work properly.

Why can't I delete a category?

If you can't delete a category, you are likely not an administrator for one or more spaces in this category. Look at the category menu on the site to find out which spaces belong to it, and request admin access for those spaces.

titleWhy can't I add the Confluence Content module to a home, edit a dashboard, or edit space layouts?

It could be that one of the following issues occurred. For more background on this special space and its usage, see the FAQ Troubleshooting item What is the Refined Layout Space (rwlayoutkey)?.

License issues

Go to General Configuration > License Details to see if your Confluence license has expired or if there are too many users on the license.

Permissions on the Refined Layout Space - A change of user groups

Symptom: The main or category dashboard can't be edited. When clicking a module to open up the Confluence editor, you get a popup saying that you are not permitted to perform this operation, or you see a spinning loading icon.

Cause: The user trying to edit the dashboard is not a member of the required user groups. 

Resolution:

  1. Go to http http://YourURL.com/spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=rwlayoutkey (add /spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=rwlayoutkey to the end of your Confluence URL). 

  2. Check the user groups of the user that is trying to edit the dashboard. 

  3. The permission for the user should be as follows. You can add new user groups here if you are not using the default Confluence user groups. Make sure to give the same permissions for your groups.

You get an error that there are multiple pages

Symptom: The main or category dashboard can't be edited: you only see a spinning “loading” icon.

Cause: The pages that Refined uses to edit the dashboard have been duplicated.

Resolution

  1. Open the browser log.

  2. Try to edit the page. Then, check the browser log to see if there are multiple pages (if it says no-pages, please contact us). 

  3. Go to http://YourURL.com/collector/pages.action?key=rwlayoutkey (add collector/pages.action?key=rwlayoutkey to the end of your Confluence URL). 

  4. Look for any duplicate pages.

  5. Download any attachments to the temp- pages, if you have them.

titleA background image in my theme disappeared, how do I get it back?

This issue can occur due to migration or URL issues.

Migration issues
You have migrated from one server to another and the Refined folder was not moved correctly, which means the images in the folder will not show up.

  1. Make sure you have moved the Refined folder in Confluence home.

  2. Make sure that the Confluence user has access to that folder on the server.

Base URL issues
You have changed base URL and need to resave the theme.

  1. Make sure the base URL is set to the URL from which you are accessing your instance. Read Atlassian’s article about Configuring the Server Base URL.

  2. Go to Refined Administration > Themes > Hover the theme and click edit.

  3. Without making any changes, click save.
