Installing and Using

How to install the plugin?

You can install it with the help of Universal Plugin Manager or install it manually.After plugin installation you should generate an evaluation license for 30 days or purchase a commercial license in order to use the plugin.

Should I configure any settings before using the plugin?

There are no required settings. You only need to install the plugin and enter a license key (commercial or evaluation).

Where are the settings of the plugin located?

Navigate to Administration Console > InPlace Editor Settings.

Some of our users don't need InPlace Editor. How can it be disabled for them?

You can disable InPlace Editor for certain spaces from Administration Console. You can also define if InPlace Editor should be enabled for all newly created spaces.

Users can disable InPlace Editor for themselves from Tools menu by clicking the Disable InPlace Editor menu item. This can be useful when you want to print or save a page without the Pencil icons.

I don't need the Pencil icon for 5th and 6th level headings. How to disable this?

There is an option Show "Pencil" icon only for specified levels of headings in Administration Console > InPlace Editor Settings.

Can multiple users edit the same section simultaneously?

Yes, users can simultaneously edit the same text paragraph. In this case the add-on will behave the way similar to standard Confluence editor. If users have modified the same text snippet within the section, the add-on will prompt to apply the modifications made by another user. If users have modified different text snippets within the same section, no conflict will occur.

The app does not support the collaborative editing as of now. So you will not be able to view other users who are editing the same text snippet and see the updates in the real time. Please vote on this idea.

Are there any known limitations or issues with the add-on?

InPlace Editor doesn't support detection of the headings placed inside macros. It works only with top-level headings.As of now the following limitations are known:

InPlace Editor is not completely compatible with Confluence Documentation theme. Scroll position on a page is not preserved in Chrome and Internet Explorer after saving it in InPlace Editor.

The app does not support the collaborative editing. Please vote on this idea.

How to disable the onboarding flag message after the app installation?

  2. Expand all the modules of the InPlace Editor app.
  3. Disable the cipe-tutorial module.

Issues and Resolutions

The Pencil icons are not displayed for some

heading

headings of different levels.

You may encounter this issue when you copy some content from external source, for example, website. InPlace Editor for Confluence processes only HTML headings (<h1>, ..., <h6>) of the top-level. If headings are enclosed within other elements (for example< <div>), such headings are not processed by the add-on and the Pencil icon is not displayed for them.

(warning) Starting from the InPlace Editor 3.0 the add-on processes those elements. Please upgrade the InPlace Editor to the latest version to quickly avoid that issue.

You can try to remove these excess elements from the page by using Confluence Source Editor:

Unfortunately, InPlace Editor does not support creation of a task list at the moment. We are hoping to resolve this issue in the future releases of the add-on. Meanwhile, InPlace Editor for Confluence supports the already created task lists so you can copy task items, delete or edit them.

I cannot modify the page layout
