FAQs

I'm getting "invalid link" or a grey error screen

The pasted link is either broken, incorrect, has a permissions issue, or it’s a bug. Click the View Tutorial button and follow the visual guide to copy the link.

If that doesn’t work please contact us via support@appsplus.co

How do I edit the tab titles, colors and order?

Edit titles: double-click on the titles, change the text and press Enter.
Re-order tabs: drag and drop the tab titles.

Lefthand config sidebar (Jira: click top-right settings icon):

Delete tabs: click the X icon and then the red bin icon.
Change icons: search or view all and then select.
Change colors: click the color box and select a new color.

How do I access the configuration options in Jira?

Click the top-right settings icon next to the fullscreen icon.

The app didn't save anything I entered into it!

Jira: make sure to click the top-right Save button after making changes.

Confluence: click the bottom-right Save button in the macro editor.

If you still have problems it could be a bug. Please contact us via support@appsplus.co

Can I remove the tabs to have a single embed?

In Jira, no the tabs are necessary. In Confluence you can paste a shared link directly into the editor to autoconvert to a tab-less embed or you can edit the macro, select the Display tab and toggle off Tabs.

Note: you will only see the first tab item.

Why is data stored in a Confluence attachment file?

Atlassian has a tiny 32kB chunk storage limit for developers. In order to keep data within your instance and allow unlimited tabs/notes/whiteboards, we decided to store that data securely inside Confluence content attachments. These attachments are named like so: appsplus-tabs-data-m-CjeVCKip.json

Note: do not delete these attachments.

Copy-pasting the Confluence macro overwrites tabs

This is an Atlassian bug. Follow these steps to copy-paste the macro without overwriting the tab data:

Edit existing macro, click Export tab, enable the Tabs toggle and copy the data.
Insert a new macro, click Export tab, enable the Tabs toggle and paste the data.
Repeat for the Display configuration data if desired.

There are duplicate panels on a Jira issue

This is another Atlassian bug. It doesn’t make sense to have separate panels using valuable screen space when our apps make use of tabs and are cross-compatible.

If one of our apps is already visible: simply add a new tab then paste your link and save.
To hide duplicate panels: click the top-right triple dot and then Hide {App}
