  1. In the Confluence editor, choose Insert > Other Macros
  2. Find and select the required macro

Speeding up macro entry with autocomplete: Type { and the beginning of the macro name, to see a list of suggested macros. Details are in Using Autocomplete.

Parameter

Default

Description

Page to Include

None

This is the name of the Confluence page or blog post that you want to include in the current page. Start typing a page title, and Confluence will suggest matching pages from the current space and other spaces.

Alternatively you can specify the page as follows:

  • If the page or blog post is located in another space, add the space key and a colon in front of the page name. For example, DOC:My page name. The space key is case sensitive.
  • To include a blog post, specify the date as well as the title of the blog post. For example: /2010/12/01/My blog post.
  • You can include pages from personal spaces using ~username as the space key, where 'username' is the person's username. For example, ~jsmith:My page name.

Notes

  • If you want to include part of a page rather than the whole page, use the Excerpt and Excerpt Include macros.
  • To display a page's contents, you need 'View' permission for that page. Similarly, people who view the page will need 'View' permissions for the embedded page as well as the page into which it is embedded. See space permissions or contact your Confluence space administrator for more information.
  • If you want to embed an external page into a Confluence page, you need the HTML Include Macro.
  • No labels
