Want to use Confluence as a wiki? We’ll guide you through the process step by
It’s an uncomfortable truth: boring, unstructured Confluence pages don’t inspire action. At best, they get skimmed; at worst, critical information gets lost in a sea of blandness. Poor documentation and clunky Confluence page designs can derail sprints, frustrate teams, and lead to communication breakdowns.
Let’s change that.
This guide explores how to elevate your Confluence page designs, showcasing beautiful Confluence page examples and practical tools, like the Aura Content Formatting Macros, that can turn dull pages into engaging, impactful resources.
If your Confluence pages are boring, then you need help. Today’s teams work in oceans of information, and a mundane Confluence page does you no favors. Getting your message across requires making the content presentable and readable. You need structure to create a beautiful Confluence page; a well-thought-out layout attracts attention, provides a clear message, is the foundation of beautiful Confluence pages, and helps tell the story. However, only some people are HTML experts, and trying to create superb layouts in Confluence can be painful and time-consuming for the amateur.
That’s why many Confluence users turn to Confluence editor tools; here, we will examine Templates and Macros and see how creators can transform their pages from bland to brilliant.
Below, we have shown some before-and-after examples of Confluence pages built using Aura Content Formatting Macros compared to pages built just using Confluence’s native page tool set.
Confluence offers several basic styling tools, which are displayed in the toolbar below.
These allow the user to customize the page, alter the text, make it bold or italic, justify it, and change the text color. They can also add built-in points or numbered paragraphs, links, images, emojis, etc.
Confluence also offers several other tools that are a step up from those in the toolbar. These include Templates, a table of contents function or macro, an Info Panel, and a Divider. See examples below.
Here are some Confluence page examples using Atlassian’s native macros:
Table of Contents – reads the headers used in the page contents and automatically constructs a table of contents.
The info panel – is incredibly useful when emphasizing an important point or issue.
The Divider – a simple yet elegant means of separating differing content areas.
Templates and Atlassian native macros are helpful, but they can feel limiting when creating cool Confluence pages or more visually dynamic content.
Important ideas and points can get lost in a sea of blandness. This is where the Atlassian marketplace comes into play. The marketplace offers hundreds if not thousands of formatting tools, allowing users to really customize pages to provide more punch and impact.
The macros themselves are straightforward to use; the more complex ones come with reams of documentation. Adding a simple macro or two can truly transform your Confluence content. Great content promotes open dialogue, using Macros promotes collaboration and transparency.
Aura Content Formatting Macros lifts Confluence layout ideas to new levels with one macro to rule them all.
