Uses new `select-stream-view-general.md` for instructions.
Also, updates text for locating the button/icon and uses
the `save-changes.md` to correct the final instruction/step.
Uses new `select-stream-view-personal.md` for instructions.
Also, clarifies where the checkbox is located (header) and
updates instruction to use 'toggle' vs 'click' for checkbox.
Uses new `select-stream-view-general.md` in instructions.
Also, moves admin warning to top of the article and updates
description text for clarity (instead of 'apps', specify
which apps have the description in the stream view).
Adds three markdown documents in to be used for help center
articles that have instructions that refer to actions in
the 3 new tabs in the 'Subscribed/All streams' view:
- General: stream name, description and permissions changes.
- Personal: personal stream settings, such as color, changes.
- Subscribers: adding or removing users from streams.
Adds documentation for admins to manage users via the user profile
modal for these actions:
- Deactivating a user
- Changing a user's role
- Changing a user's name
Creates two new tab sections because we still want to document
the ability to do these actions through the users section in
the organizational settings modal.
Also cleans up some text in the help center article for changing
a user's role.
Fixes#21318.
Fixes#21415.
Cleans up the list of actions that can be restricted via settings
for new members. Previously, there were a number of entries in the
list that began with 'Restricting' and not the action that was
being set.
Adds content on user group permissions / management to the general
help center article for user groups (`/help/user-groups`) and
removes the then redundant `/help/restrict-user-group-management`
article.
Redirects links in help center and api documentation from deleted
article to the new configure user group settings section of
`/help/user-groups`.
Fixes#21383.
Extends existing documentation about user status to cover
both potential parts of a status: emojis and messages.
Also, adds a link in the `/help/web-public-streams` article
where user status is referenced.
Fixes#21369.
Adds a section to the typing notifications documentation about
how to disable them in as a personal privacy setting.
Extended by tabbott to explain the setting in more detail.
Fixes#21381.
As the different settings are described in the help center doc
for creating a new stream, we need to update the final setting
name from 'People to add' to the new 'Choose subscribers' that
is in the UI.
Also, updates that setting description to include adding users
via user groups or the new add all users option.
Extends the documentation on unsubscribing users from streams to
include an alternate method via the user's full profile, which
is useful for cases where admins may need to unsubscribe a single
user from multiple streams.
Fixes#21379.
Previously, this URL just returned the `raw_content` field. It seems
cleanest to just make it a single-message variant of GET /messages,
deprecating the only format.
The header was more confusing than helpful, and we
want the create-stream UI to be less cluttered.
We don't really need the help-center text here, since
we already have ? icons next to the relevant headings
for the sub-sections.
We kill off some CSS, but we won't kill off stream-title
until the big upcoming changes for stream pills.
Adds a section about the Markdown feature to auto-link to
existing streams and topics in a Zulip message.
Also, does a little reformatting of existing text/tabs and
adds a related links section to the page.
Fixes#21085.

The previous explanation of generic bots was inaccurate.
This page needs a lot more cleanup, but this at least fixes the
clearest inaccuracies.
Fixes#19978.
Previously, users found it annoying that the automated "Resolve topic"
notifications triggered an unread for everyone in the stream; this
discouraged some users from using the feature on older threads for
fear of being annoying. We change this to a better default, of only
users who participated in the topic (via either messages or reactions)
being eligible for the new message being unread.
We will likely want to create global and stream-level notifications
settings to control this behavior as a follow-up -- some users, like
me, might prefer the simpler "Always unread" behavior in some streams.
Note that the automated notifications that a topic was resolved will
still result in the topic being moved to the top of the left sidebar.
This would be somewhat difficult to change, since the left sidebar
algorithm just looks at the highest message ID in the topic.
Fixes#19709.
Tests added by Aman Agrawal (amanagr@zulip.com).
In English, compound adjectives should essentially always be
hyphenated. This makes them easier to parse, especially for users who
might not recognize that the words “web public” go together as a
phrase.

We recently changed /developer-community to /development-community.
Now that this change is in production, we can also migrate the
external links in our ReadTheDocs documentation.
As noted in the /help/ docs, this feature isn't fully implemented yet.
However, it's useful to merge this documentation, which explains how the
feature will work, to help make sure we've thought through all the details
around how this feature should work and be presented to users as we
plan to final changes to implement it.
This commit does not edit other help pages to reflect the existence of
web public streams.

This commit renames "Automatic" option in color scheme setting
dropdown to "Sync with compute". We do not change any variables
used in code just the text in the dropdown visible to user.
Fixes part of #20228.
This helps increase the probability that folks read the guidelines for how the
chat.zulip.org community works and what streams to use before arriving there.
Fixes#19827.
We had an incident where someone didn't notice for a week that they'd
accidentally enabled a 30-day message retention policy, and thus we
were unable to restore the deleted the content.
After some review of what other products do (E.g. Dropbox preserves
things in a restoreable state for 30 days) we're adjusting this
setting's default value to be substantially longer, to give more time
for users to notice their mistake and correct it before data is
irrevocably deleted.
OneLogin has removed the old app. The new app is nearly identical, just
with some additional configurable settings, that we don't want to touch
anyway as the default are fine - and changing the default Parameters
that are set up, so we also update the screenshot to match how it looks
with the new app.
This commit adds functionality to import messages from the
Discussions having direct channels as their parent. As we don't
have topics in the PMs, the messages are imported in interleaved
form in the imported direct channels/PMs.
This was completely unsupported earlier and would have resulted in
an error.
Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in
UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles
the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the
advanced user display settings.
With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott.
Fixes#20043.
Most important is adding the icons to help users understand the
recipients of the stream, but we also use clearer language that better
matches that present in the user interface.
Created a schema for the ignored_parameters_unsupported that is
returned by the /settings and /realm/user_settings_defaults endpoints
and removed the duplicated text in the api documentation.
Also cleaned up some small errors in the /realm/user_settings_default
definition and sidebar link /api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults.
Fixes#19674
Keycloak docs say:
https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-docker
```
By default there is a single realm in Keycloak called master. This is
dedicated to manage Keycloak and should not be used for your own
applications.
```
Thus we should change what we assume the Keycloak realm to be to avoid
assuming as a default a practice
that Keycloak disourages.
Oops, I have a couple of changes here:
1) Adding a "Create user groups" section to the new org guide.
2) Moving a tip out of how-to-invite-users-to-join.md, so that I
can reuse that section in the Zulip for clases guide I'm working
on without having the tip in it.
This commit replaces 'allow_message_deleting' boolean setting
with an integer setting 'delete_own_message_policy'. We have a
separate dropdown now for deciding which user-roles can delete
messages sent by themselves and the time-limit setting droddown
is different.
This new setting has two options - everyone and admins only. Other
options including moderators will be added further.
We also remove the "Never" option from the original time-limit
dropdown, as admins are always allowed to delete message. This
never option resembled the case of only admins being allowed to
delete but this state is now resembled by setting the dropdown
to "admins only" and we also disable the time-limit dropdown in
this case as admins are allowed to delete irrespective of limit.
Note, this setting is only for deleting messages sent by the
deleting user themselves, and only admins are allowed to delete
messages sent by others as before.
The previous heading was one size too small, and thus was easily
missed when visually skimming for the information.
Additionally, give it a more natural label.
This better matches the title of the page and more generally our
conventions around naming /help/ articles. We include a redirect
because this is referenced from Welcome Bot messages, and we
definitely don't want those links to break.
The Entity ID for zulipchat.com is `https://zulipchat.com` currently.
Some of these errors happened in the big zulipchat->zulip rename commit
71078adc50, then it was repeated in
10d356d2de and there was also some
confusion when coming up with the instructions for Keycloack in
10d356d2de. Client-ID value in Keycloack
is the expected Issuer for SAMLRequests and thus needs to match our
Entity ID.
On zulipchat.com we use SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN='auth', meaning
python-social-auth backend flows go through auth.zulipchat.com rather
than staying on the original subdomain.
On our Markdown help docs, ordered lists that aren't encapsulated
in tabs don't have custom CSS that tells them how to display
themselves with proper indentation. An example of a doc that has
this issue is /help/saml-authentication. This commit adds some CSS
that targets such ordered lists.
These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and
it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they
become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on
older feature levels.
This commit updates the documentation to mention that
only owners can change who can send invitations.
We also add the newly added "Nobody" option for this
setting in the documentation.
This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that
wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers
from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is
at the API level.
We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function
as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the
documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the
merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when
needed.
We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for
individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work.

Currently, the "Home" link at the top takes one to the doc root,
i.e., /help or /api. This is a little misleading since "Home"
seems to be more synonymous with the Zulip homepage.
This commit adds a proper backlink to the top logo that takes you to
the homepage and renames "Home" to be more specific. The text after
"|" will now take you to the doc root instead (/help or /api). Note
that this allows us to link the /help and /api pages from the
homepage while ensuring that backlinks allow the visitor to get back
to the homepage.
The presence setting is more suited in 'Account & privacy'
section as it is not related to notifications in anyway
and resembles privacy of user by allowing user to hide
his status of being online.
The user timezone is only used for user's profile, so we can
move this setting to the Profile panel of settings and this
will also help us in covering some space when there are no
custom profile fields for the organization.
This commit fixes the documentation of settings as we have
replaced "Your account" section into two new sections -
"Profile" and "Account & privacy".
This commit also fixes a comment in the test for settings
documentation in test_middleware.py.
This commit addresses @timabbott 's comments, by adding a new article
"Move content to another topic".
Thanks to the new article, I also simplified a step from the "Rename a
topic" article to keep it focused on renaming only.
* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
messages or split topics, and link to it.
* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
is already covered in rename-a-topic.
* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
"rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
was adapted to the remaining article.
* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
updates related links.
After adding owner role, we allow last admin to deactivate
but not allow the last owner to deactivate, and this commit
fixes the warning about not allowing last admin.
This isn't the best writing, but it'll help us remember to cover these
details when we do a major pass on this article after adding upcoming
status changes.
The Hubot project looks to be abandoned; it hasn’t been updated in
years and its own installation instructions don’t work anymore.
Remove our special placement of Hubot alongside Zapier and IFTTT.
