How to add notes, info, tips, warnings?

Chad Faragher
February 6, 2020

In Confluence Cloud, how do I insert a Note, Info, Tip, or Warning?  It says that these things can be done with a "legacy editor".  That sounds like something that is old or deprecated and I shouldn't be using.  So what's the new way to add a Note to a confluence page?

Thanks!  That was surprising.

I wonder why does it not appear when I go to Insert > View More > All.  That's what's throwing me off.  Note does not appear in the list of all macros.

It use to be called Info and was on the menu above View More.

In fact it is still there. (see image).

On the legacy pages one can use the shortcut {info}. The new editor is better in that sense with the shortcut key '/'. 

On a side note you can also type the following to bring up the exact box quicker.

  • /error  
  • /info
  • /warning
  • /success
  • /note

Perfect.  Thanks for the help.  Still not sure why "Info Panel" doesn't show up in the "view more > all" though.

Info exists on the legacy Macros - View More, but maybe Atlassian think everything is easier via a shortcut key. The View more menu does seem a little old school.

If they could share a shortcut menu that would be useful.
