  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.

Parameters

Parameters are options that you can set to control what and how content from the macro appears on the page. 

If the parameter name used in Confluence Cloud storage format is different than the label used when inserting macros using the browser or the slash command, it will be listed below in brackets (example).

Parameter

Default

Description

Page to Include

None

This is the name of the Confluence page or blog post that you want to include in the current page. Start typing a page title, and Confluence will suggest matching pages from the current space and other spaces.

Alternatively you can specify the page as follows:

  • If the page or blog post is located in another space, add the space key and a colon in front of the page name. For example, DOC:My page name. The space key is case sensitive.

  • To include a blog post, specify the date as well as the title of the blog post. For example: /2010/12/01/My blog post.

  • You can include pages from personal spaces using ~username as the space key, where 'username' is the person's username. For example, ~jsmith:My page name.

If you want to include part of a page rather than the whole page, use the

excerpt and insert excerpt macros.

To display a page's contents, you need View permission for that page. Similarly, people who view the page will need View permissions for the embedded page as well as the page into which it is embedded. Contact your Confluence space administrator for more information about permissions.
