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

   Macro tips

   • 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.
