Useful Macros Home

Welcome to the documentation for the "Useful Macros for Confluence Cloud" Marketplace App!

This app adds several macros to Confluence Cloud that will hopefully make your life easier and your pages more effective, especially when used in templates.

All macros are embedded in the page content (as opposed to being displayed in a separate frame), which means the content is able to flow better with the other text in the page.

Function	Description
Link to Parent	This macro inserts a link to the parent page of the current page.
Include Parent	This macro duplicates the content of the parent page in the current page.
Excerpt Include Parent	This macro will include the excerpted content from the parent page in the current page.
Link to Other Space	This macro allows you to link to a page with the same name as the current one, but in a different space.
Date Modifier	This macro allows you to create a date that you set in relation to another date. This allows you to change one date and have all the other dates update automatically.
Status Count	This macro allows you to have a quick overview of a count of all the status elements in a page. If you use status elements to describe progress, for example, then you can have a quick glance at how close you are to reaching the goal.
Creation Date	This macro automatically inserts the date of the creation of the page. This might be useful for templates where a particular date will always be the same as the page creation date.
Page Creator	This macro automatically inserts the name of/link to the creator of the current page. This might be useful for templates where the creator of the page is always a certain role.
