Page Index macro

I have used Confluence Server a lot in my previous company

 

At my new job, I lobbied to get Confluence, but we got Confluence Cloud

 

Things appear to work somewhat similarly, but many things seem broken to the point that I'm seriously considering not using Confluence at all

 

For example: I created a Space and called it Glossary. I added two sub-pages. In the parent page, I tried adding a Page Index macro. I have tried two different ways, both unsuccessfully.

 

  1. Typing a slash and then Index: this doesn't seem to do anything at all
  2. Trying to add a macro from the toolbar (+v), View More, Page Index. This shows me a preview. When I click on Insert, all I see is the rotating "I'm working on it" thingie

 

After about an hour, I cancelled that. I tried doing the same from a different browser window. Same result. 

I tried creating a Live Search. That's broken as well. I.e.: there is nothing live about the search. I expect to see results as I type my search, but I only see what I type (no results). If I press [Enter], I see results.

 

A lot of articles talk about this new fangled UI and how a lot of people dislike it. I guess I'm one of them

 

Is Confluence Cloud basically unusable? My experience so far is that it seems to be in beta, which is not acceptable.

 

What has been your experience?

Hi Pato,

I found that you created a support case for this issue, in turn to help other users that might find this community post and have the same problem:

It appears this is a new bug in Confluence Cloud.  You can see more details in CONFCLOUD-65869

Thanks

Andy

Update:

The so-called Live Search macro kind of works if I add an asterisk at the end of my search criteria. This is not the way it should work.

 

Is it possible to reboot an instance of Confluence Cloud?

Someone suggested looking at the administration page:

https://[our instance].atlassian.net/secure/admin/ViewApplicationProperties.jspa

 

This admin page is all about Jira. Is there a corresponding administration page for Confluence Cloud?

Thanks in advance
