The Power of Icons in Confluence
Visuals speak louder than words. That’s why we’re going to show you how to elevate
As an experienced Confluence user, you’re likely familiar with the handy trick: simply type three dashes in a row—and Confluence will automatically insert a built-in divider. This feature is fantastic for neatly segmenting a Confluence page into distinct sections, effectively separating images, and visually enhancing the overall content.
But for those who have longed for more personality and customization options when it comes to dividers in Confluence, the answer has arrived: Aura Content Formatting Macros.
Aura is an advanced suite of macros designed to enhance your Confluence experience. It offers a variety of tools to create beautiful, engaging, and functional content. The Aura Divider Macro is a perfect example of how you can take your Confluence pages to the next level with minimal effort.
Navigate to your Confluence page
Click the “Edit” button (or simply “E”) to start editing
Select a spot on your page where you want the divider macro to appear. Begin typing ‘/’ followed by ‘aura’ and choose the Aura divider from the list.
As soon as the editing dialog box has opened, feel free to express yourself creatively! Let’s delve into the various editing options available to you.
First and foremost, there are three different types of dividers. Namely:
Line: Keep it simple with just a line.
Line + Text: Spice it up with some customizable text.
Line + Icon: Add an icon to your line divider.
After picking the style of your divider, you can also choose the alignment, where you want your divider, text, or icon to hang out (left, center, right).
After that, feel free to go full width or select a custom size for your divider.
Now, you can transform a simple line into a colorful, eye-catching Confluence divider.
First, choose a color that suits your style. You can pick from cool color combos set by your admins, ensuring a cohesive look that matches your company’s branding. If you want to get creative, click on the paint bucket to choose any color you fancy. But if the color picker is disabled, it’s because your admins are keeping things consistent.
Next, customize your line. Play around with the color, width, and style to make it pop. If you want to add text, select Type 2, then tweak the color, weight, and size to your liking. Or, if you prefer icons, go with Type 3 and choose an icon that fits your theme, adjusting its color and size for the perfect touch.
As you make these changes, the live preview below will show you the magic happening in real-time. Once you’re happy with the result, hit “Save” to add your customized divider to the Confluence page. If you decide to change your mind, simply hit “Cancel” to exit without saving.
Below you’ll find a colorful mix of various Aura Divider Macros. Has your Confluence page ever looked so colorful?
