WHAT ARE MACROS?

Using macros helps you to extend the capabilities of your Confluence pages,
allowing you to add extra functionality or include dynamic content. For example,
use the Attachments macro to list files attached to a page, or use the Widget
Connector macro to include things like a YouTube video or Twitter feed.


ADD A MACRO TO YOUR PAGE

To add a macro:

 1. When editing, select from the toolbar

 2. Find the macro by name and select it

 3. Configure it as needed

You can also type / on the page to bring up the same list you'd see by
selecting from the toolbar. Continue typing the name of the macro to filter the
list.

To edit a macro:

 1. Select the macro placeholder.

 2. Select the Edit icon to open the configuration panel.

 3. Configure the parameters. Your changes are saved as you go.

 4. Resume editing the page, and the panel closes.

You can also select the centered , medium-width , and full-width icons to adjust
the width of some macros. Select the trashcan iconto remove the macro.


MACRO PARAMETERS

Many macros have optional parameters you can use to control the macro's output.

With the Attachments Macro, for instance, you have two optional parameters
allowing you to:

 * Specify the file formats of the attachments displayed

 * Choose whether or not you want old versions of the attachments displayed


MACRO PLACEHOLDERS

Macro placeholders are displayed in the editor where you have added a macro to
the page.

When editing a page, you can:

 * Double-click a macro placeholder (or click the placeholder and choose Edit)
   to open the macro dialog window and edit the macro's parameters

 * Select a macro placeholder to cut, copy and paste the macro


CONFLICTS BETWEEN TWO MACROS

Some Marketplace macros, or apps, can’t be installed together because they were
given the same internal ID. When you try to install an app with a name that
conflicts with a previously installed macro, you will see this error message:

Unable to install <app B>
Your instance has <app A> from the same partner that does not allow installation
of ‘App B’ due to technical constraints.

The quickest solution is to uninstall one app so that you can install the other.

You may also want to contact the developer through the Atlassian Marketplace and
ask them to address the error.
