How To Create Multiple Tabs In Confluence Page

Use this interactive demo to learn how to build multiple tabs inside a Confluence page using the Expand macro.

Quick summary

Confluence does not have a native tab feature, but you can simulate multiple tabs using the Expand macro to organize content into collapsible sections. This method lets teams structure Confluence pages clearly without cluttering the page with long scrolling content.


Steps

  1. Type /expand in your Confluence editor and select the Expand macro from the dropdown menu.
  2. Give your first tab a descriptive title (such as "Tab 1" or a label specific to your content).
  3. Continue adding Expand macros for as many tabs as you need.
  4. Order your tabs by importance or sequence to guide readers clearly through the content.

📌 Why this matters

Confluence lacks a built-in tab component, making it difficult to present multi-section content cleanly on a single page. Using the Expand macro to create multiple tabs keeps Confluence pages organized, reduces scrolling, and improves readability for teams managing complex documentation. This technique is especially valuable for knowledge bases, project wikis, and onboarding pages where structured, scannable content directly improves team productivity. Knowing how to create tabs in Confluence is a high-impact skill for any team that relies on Atlassian tools for internal documentation.
