Macros

Mosaic is a set of macros that enable you to customize the look and feel of your Confluence Cloud content and improve user journeys.

Macros are elements that add formatting, navigation, or additional functionality to your pages. To learn more about each macro, see the individual macro pages in our documentation. The section below explains how to access and insert the macros on a page. To learn more about general macro use and the Confluence editor, please consult Atlassian's Cloud macro documentation.

Note:Migrating from Confluence Server/DataCenter to Cloud?

Our macros have been created to work with the latest Confluence Cloud editor and to support our macros migrated from Server/Data Center. See the Support for Migrated Content section of our documentation for a list of supported macros and more on what to expect when migrating content. If you are working with migrated content, you will initially be viewing your content in Confluence's Legacy editor. More on the differences between the Legacy and new Cloud editors can be found in Atlassian's knowledge base article.
