  3. Visit each page to review content
  4. Update or maintain equations as needed

Best Practices

Regular Reviews

  1. Check usage periodically - See adoption trends
  2. Visit listed pages - Ensure equations are correct
  3. Monitor new pages - Track when teams start using LaTeX
  4. Document usage patterns - Note which spaces use equations most

Content Management

  1. Review equations regularly - Keep content accurate
  2. Update outdated content - Maintain mathematical accuracy
  3. Archive unused pages - Clean up old content
  4. Train new users - Help teams adopt LaTeX macros

Limitations

What's NOT Tracked

Currently, usage statistics do not include:

  • ❌ Number of macros per page
  • ❌ Macro types (inline vs block)
  • ❌ Creation dates
  • ❌ Last modified dates
  • ❌ User who created macros
  • ❌ Edit history
  • ❌ Usage trends over time
  • ❌ Export functionality

The feature simply lists pages and spaces where macros are present.

Future Enhancements

Planned Features

  • 📊 Macro counts - Number of equations per page
  • 📈 Usage trends - Track adoption over time
  • 📁 Export to CSV - Download usage reports
  • 🔍 Search and filter - Find specific pages
  • 👤 User information - See who created macros
  • 📅 Date tracking - When macros were added
  • 📊 Analytics dashboard - Visual charts and graphs

Troubleshooting

No Pages Listed

Problem: Usage statistics shows empty or no results

Possible causes:

  1. No LaTeX macros have been added yet
  2. Macros were recently deleted
  3. App needs to refresh

Solutions:

  1. Add LaTeX macros to some pages
  2. Wait a few minutes for the list to update
  3. Refresh the configuration page
  4. Contact support if issue persists

Can't View Page

Problem: "View Page" button doesn't work

Possible causes:

  1. Page was deleted
  2. You don't have view permission
  3. Space permissions changed

Solutions:

  1. Check if page still exists
  2. Verify you have space access
  3. Ask admin to grant permissions
  4. The page may have been archived

Statistics Not Updating

Problem: New pages with macros don't appear

Solutions:

  1. Refresh the page - Reload the config page
  2. Wait a moment - Updates may take a minute
  3. Verify macro was saved - Check the page has a LaTeX macro
  4. Contact support - If updates don't appear after 5 minutes
