How To Create Macros In Confluence

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert and configure macros in your Confluence pages.

Quick summary

Confluence macros let you embed dynamic content — like status indicators and roadmaps — directly into a page using a simple slash command. This guide walks you through every step to insert, customize, and publish a macro in Confluence.


Steps

  1. Type / in the Confluence page editor to view available macros.
  2. Select your preferred macro (e.g., Status or Roadmap) from the list to insert content efficiently.
  3. Personalize the macro with your preferred colors, labels, and options.
  4. Press Enter or click Insert to add the macro to your page.
  5. Save your work by clicking Publish or Update to make the changes live.

📌 Why this matters

Confluence macros are a powerful way to enrich documentation pages with dynamic, structured content — from visual project roadmaps to real-time status indicators — without writing any code. Teams that use macros in Confluence can standardize how information is presented across spaces, reducing manual formatting work and improving page readability. Knowing how to create and configure macros helps Confluence users work faster and build more actionable, visually clear pages. This capability is especially valuable for project managers, team leads, and technical writers who rely on Confluence as a central knowledge hub.
