Macros

Macros can be configured to enhance the content on your Confluence pages. Macros make your organization’s pages easier to use for both editors and viewers by giving them the information they need or smarter ways to build content.

There are two types of macros available: 

• Built-In Macros
• Custom Macros

View macros

To navigate to the macros, follow these steps: 

1. Select the Settings cog in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. 
   
2. Select Macros under the ScriptRunner heading. 
   
   

3. From here, you can view the macros.
    

   The Actions for macros are currently turned off.

Use macros

You can choose your custom macro when you edit a Confluence Cloud page. 

1. Select the macro browser, and start typing the name of your macro in the field. 
   
2. Once your macro appears, select it. 

3. Enter any required information when the macro and the right sidebar appears.

   A macro editor screen appears here if you are using a macro that has a Plain Text body type.

   
   . 

   In this particular example, clicking Edit to setup on the macro that appeared made the right sidebar appear. Macros will vary.
