Below are some important notes on upgrading to Confluence 3.4.3. For details of the fixes in this release, please read the Confluence 3.4.3 Release Notes.

Upgrade Notes

We have updated the code for the Expand user macro, so that the body of the macro now visible in PDF exports. To take advantage of this improvement, please copy the macro 'template' from this documentation page: Writing the Expand User Macro.
