Feature Control

Admins can choose to turn off several features for the whole Confluence Instance. The features that can be turned off are:

Display Tabs as Links
HTML
JavaScript
AI in Macros
Welcome Pop-up Management
In App Support
Usage Insights -

Turning a feature off prevents users from using it. It does not remove any content already created with the feature.

Select the cog icon to take you to the Administrator Setting page.
Select Mosaic Feature Controls .
Use the toggles to control whether the features are offered to your users.

Display Tabs as Links

By default, Tab titles are displayed as functional links. This allows users to share links to specific tabs. This behaviour can cause problems with some 3rd party software so can be turned off. To change this setting select the Display Tabs as Links section and toggle the options.

Numbered Headings

This toggle allows you to turn off the option for your users to apply Numbered Headings to a page. Turning this off removes the icon from the toolbar.

HTML

This toggle allows you to turn off the HTML macro for your users. When disabled, users cannot add HTML macros to any pages.

JavaScript

Note:Advanced Edition Feature

This toggle controls whether the HTML macro allows JavaScript execution. These settings are applied to the entire Confluence instance.

When JavaScript is enabled, users can write and execute custom JavaScript in their Mosaic HTML macros. This allows them to create interactive elements such as animations, dynamic content, and form handling. The code runs inside a sandboxed iframe with restricted permissions. Dangerous operations, including network requests and navigation, are blocked. This setting should be enabled only if administrators trust users to write their own code.

When JavaScript is disabled, the JavaScript tab is hidden in the Mosaic HTML macro screen. Existing macros continue to render their HTML and CSS, but any JavaScript is blocked from running. Users cannot create new interactive macros or edit existing JavaScript. Static HTML and CSS macros continue to work normally. This is the recommended setting when only trusted content is required.

JavaScript support is available only in Advanced Edition, and all code is sanitised regardless of the setting.

Note: If an administrator disables JavaScript, any existing pages that use JavaScript in an HTML macro will no longer work as expected. We recommend you check your pages for JavaScript use before making changes to the settin

AI in Macros

This option allows you to control if Mosaic uses AI in out macros. Turning it off removes the AI component of Interactive Banner and removes Smart Designer.

Note:Advanced Edition Feature

Smart Designer can still be used in Advanced Edition. This is because Advanced Edition Smart Designer has a no AI option. This means your users can still get all the benefits of Smart Designer's quick formatting abilities without the use of AI.

Welcome Pop-up Management

By default new users are greeted with a pop-up giving them an introduction to Mosaic and some guidance how to get the most out of the app. If required this pop-up can be disabled for all users. You can find quickly get to the toggle by selecting Manage features when an admin users sees the welcome dialog.

In App Support

Note:Advanced Edition Feature

This toggle allows you to remove the in app support provided in our macros. At lower plan level in app support is always enabled

Note: If in app support was disabled in your instance prior to the introduction of Advanced Editions, this choice is maintained. However if you turn it on, it will not be possible to turn it off unless you are on the Advanced Edition.
