Is Talk available for Cloud?This possibility is in the research stage. We need to investigate what functionality to bring for you in Cloud. Thus, please, contact our team to tell your needs and help us to build a roadmap for Cloud. How to install Talk?You can install it manually or using the Universal Plugin Manager. To start using Talk, generate a 30-day evaluation license on Atlassian Marketplace or on our website. You can license or purchase a commercial license either on Atlassian Marketplace or on our website. What is the difference between Talk - Inline Comments 1.x and 2.x?Talk 2.x is an upgraded version of Talk 1.8 with the new features to add comments in the view mode and collapse the sidebar with talks.
Where can I find my Server ID? I need it to generate a license.Will Talk comments migrate together with other content when I migrate Confluence spaces from one instance to another?When you export Confluence spaces via XML, Talk content is not being exported. That means the content of Talk comments will not be available on a new instance after importing those spaces. But there is a workaround you can use. If you are planning to migrate spaces, please contact us to learn about it before you start the migrationLog in to Confluence as Administrator. Go to Confluence Admin > System Information. You will see your Server ID in the Confluence Information section. Is it possible to restrict access to Talk for individual users and/or groups?Yes, the add-on supports a capability to set view restrictions through space permissions or individual setup for a specific talk discussion. For the details on permission management, refer to the Managing Talk Permissions in Talk 1.x section.talk | ||||

This functionality is only available for Confluence versions below 7.x. We can suggest a workaround, but it may have certain disadvantages for you. Please, contact our team to know more. |
Yes, it is possible. However, if you disable Confluence native inline comments completely, the Talk Suggestions feature will not work.
If you need both Talk inline comments and suggestions, do the following:
- go to the Manage apps section in Confluence Administration
- select System apps
- find the Confluence Inline Comments app
- disable the following Confluence Inline Comments app modules and the icon for adding a native inline comment will not be displayed:
- Create inline comment in Confluence
- View resolved comments
If you don't use Talk suggestions feature, you can disable the Confluence native inline comments app completely:
- go to the Manage Apps section in Confluence Administration
- select System apps
- find and disable the Confluence Inline Comments app
- Confluence inline comments will be disabled for the whole instance, but page comments will be still working.
Is Talk compatible with Comala Workflows?
Talk creates a new page revision everytime a new discussion is started or a discussion is resolved, which triggers a change of page status in Comala Workflows. E.g. before adding a talk, your page status was 'Approved'. After you start a discussion, the page becomes a draft. We worked on this issue together with the Comala team. A possible solution is available here. Or you can disable the creation of page versions on Talk actions to avoid Comala Workflows getting triggered.
Can I disable the creation of page versions on Talk actions?
When a Talk inline comment is added and resolved or a suggestion is accepted, a new page version is created by default. It works this way to allow users to track Talk discussions in a page history and restore removed talks.
If you do not want to have page versions created on Talk actions, go to Space tools> Add-ons> Talk Settings and clear the checkbox 'Enable creation of page versions on Talk actions'.
When you disable the creation of page versions, you will not be able to restore removed Talk discussions and see when discussions were started and resolved by browsing a page history.
Is the localization available for Talk?
The localization is available in the German, Spanish and Russian languages starting from version 1.6.0.
How to correctly update the app to the version 4.2.7 and above if my current version of the app is 3.6 and below?
If you want to update the app to the version of Talk 4.2.7 and above, but your current version of the app is 3.6 and below, you need to:
- Update your current version to any of this range: 3.7.0 - 4.2.6. You can find and download them on the Atlassian Marketplace.
- Update the app to 4.2.7.
To be compatible with Confluence 8, we had to update the mechanism for storing talks in the database. Users with version 3.7.0 - 4.2.6 can directly update the app to the newer versions. Users that update the app from 3.6 and below to 4.2.7 and above will see errors instead of talksAnonymous users can add talks on Confluence pages if the corresponding permissions are granted to this account type.
