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.

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

1. Open the problem page and enable Source Editor (click the '< >' button on the toolbar).
2. Locate the problem headings.
3. Ensure that these headings are not enclosed within other web-page elements, if so remove these additional tags (both opening and closing tags).
4. Save the page.

2. I cannot create a task list

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.

3. I cannot modify the page layout

Unfortunately, InPlace editor does not support Confluence's page layouts. We are working on this and hope to resolve this issue in the future.

4. How to make Pencil icons less visible

You can modify the visibility of the Pencil icon at Administration - Look And Feel - Stylesheet. Just add the following code snippet:

div.cipe-edit-link-placeholder span {
  opacity: 0.2;
}
.cipe-header-hover div.cipe-edit-link-placeholder span {
  opacity: 1 !important;
} 

The default icon will become semitransparent, but on hover will look as before.
