Release Notes

Version 45

We've refreshed Smart Designer to make it quicker and easier to use. The updated experience helps you turn content into polished layouts with fewer clicks, while keeping the tools you need close at hand.

You can now add Mosaic macros directly from Smart Designer, even when you're not using its smart formatting features. Advanced edition users can also apply a Brand Kit to the page, so any macros created automatically use your team's colours, images, and icons for a more consistent look.

To help you add equations more quickly, we have added a library to LaTeX Builder. From here you can choose a number of our preset equations and add them with a single click.

Introducing the new Table macro. Enhance Confluence tables with advanced data operations, including filtering, sorting, and searching. Generate a variety of attractive chartsdirectly from table data for faster analysis and visualisation.

LaTeX Builder now has alignment buttons. These allow you to quickly identify and align your equations. The options are:

• - inline
• - left aligned block
• - centre aligned block
• - right aligned block

We have enhanced our HTML macro to allow users to upload files directly into the macro, making it faster and easier to add content. Choose to upload one combined file, or individual HTML, CSS, and JS files. The HTML macro automatically splits combined files into the correct tabs.

Agile templates have arrived! Our latest update includes 10 new templates designed to help you run your agile ceremonies and team processes. These templates have been developed with the help of John Kern, one of the original creators of the Agile Manifesto for Software Development.

Check out our templates collection to see which ones will help your team stay aligned.

LaTeX Builder is our latest macro. This new version of our LaTeX macro allows you to use a code editor to create your equations, and the live preview lets you see exactly what your page will look like as you go.

We are excited to announce the launch of Space Manager for our Advanced customers.

Space Manager lets you manage your spaces and content at scale. You can build, organise, and manage Confluence spaces at scale, adding hundreds of pages, applying templates, and structuring hierarchies from one central view.

We have now enhanced our HTML macro for Advanced edition users to include JavaScript.

By enabling JavaScript on your Confluence site, you can now:

• Create interactive UI components, such as visual effects and toggle logic.
• Fully customise your page with corporate branding, typography, and more.

Our transition to Atlassian Forge continues. With this update, the majority of our macros now run fully on Forge, ensuring alignment with Atlassian best practices.

No action is required to update existing content. When an existing macro is opened, it will automatically update to the latest Forge version. In some cases, users may need to open a macro once before it displays correctly in page preview screens.

This update represents a significant change to how Mosaic works. As a result, a small number of features may behave differently than before. Please refer to our Forge Transition Changes page for full details.

As part of our transition to fully adopting Atlassian Forge, we have updated the way our templates work.

This release introduces Forge versions for all our existing templates, including any custom edits you may have made. For a short time, both the old and new templates will be available. For the best user experience, please use the newer template versions. You can find more information about the change on our Forge Template page.

This makes it quicker and easier to get exactly the look your page needs. There's no need to switch back to your edit page, as all those tools are now part of the Smart Designer canvas. We're sure you'll find it saves you time and effort. Why not try it out and get your pages in top shape even quicker than before!

We're excited to announce that Content Formatting Macros is starting the new year with a new name - Mosaic for Confluence. Since its first appearance on the Atlassian Marketplace in 2010, Content Formatting Macros has grown and evolved. As part of our journey to provide more value to our users, we have begun to add features to the app that go beyond macros. eg. Smart Designer and Templates. With this expansion, we feel that the name 'Content Formatting Macros' no longer fully expresses the value we offer. Changing our name to Mosaic represents our commitment to continue delivering tools that help our users build engaging Confluence pages.
