Notification for comments tagged inside Tabs macro by Mosaic

Pedro Siqueira
February 26, 2026

Hello,

 

I'm using the Tabs Macro (Mosaic), and noticed that if I tag a colleague via comments inside one of my Tabs, they will receive the notification via email, but once they click on to see the page, it doesn't open in comment they were tagged in – it opens on the top of the main page. This issue makes it so the colleague can't find where they were tagged on.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi @Pedro Siqueira ,

This is actually a known limitation when using third-party macros like Mosaic Tabs Macro inside Confluence Cloud.

This happens because 

When someone is @mentioned in a comment:

Confluence sends a notification email with a link.

That link normally includes an anchor to jump directly to the specific comment.

However, when the comment is inside a dynamic macro (like Tabs), the macro content is rendered after the page loads.

Because of that, the anchor link can’t properly target the comment inside the tab.

Result → The page opens at the top instead of the tagged comment.

This is unfortunately a technical limitation of how dynamic macros render content in Confluence Cloud.

Possible Workarounds :

Here are a few practical options:

Use Page-Level Comments Instead

Instead of commenting inside a tab section:

Add the comment at the bottom of the page (standard page comment area).

Mention your colleague there.

These links work correctly and jump to the right comment.

 Avoid @Mentions Inside Tabs for Important Actions

If the mention requires action, consider:

Mentioning the user in the main page body (outside the Tabs macro).

Or adding a short “Action Required” section outside the macro.

Raise with the Vendor

Since this involves a third-party app, the best long-term solution would be for the vendor to improve anchor handling.

You can:

Check the app listing in the Atlassian Marketplace

Contact the vendor support for Mosaic Tabs

Ask whether deep-linking to inline comments inside tabs is supported or planned

 Why Atlassian Can't Fully Control This

Macros like Tabs use iframe or dynamic rendering, which can break native anchor navigation. This is not typically a core Confluence bug but an interaction limitation between Confluence and the app.

I hope this may help you out.
