Macro's 

Macros are how you supercharge your Confluence pages. 

You can use macros to:

  • change the format and layout of your page
  • display media like video, audio, and social media content
  • collate and organize Confluence pages, blogs, and files
  • perform actions from a page, such as creating a page from a template. 

Take your Confluence space to the next level using macros. 

...

You can create links to pages, blog posts, anchors, attachments, external websites, Jira issues and more.  Links can be text or images, and can be added in many different ways.

Links to pages within your Confluence site are relative, which means that you can move pages and rename pages without breaking links. 

This page explains the most common ways to create links.
