" include page macro" cannot "go to included page" anymore?

Scarlett January 17, 2025

hi community/atlassain

I just found out today that

  • in confluence server/legacy editor, clicking on "include page macro", there is an option to "go to included page"
  • but in cloud, I can only find adjust setting and remove macro option, and the page list in adjust setting does not open the pages

am I missing anything?

No, I haven't found anything about this at Atlassian yet, but I did ask a participant in the other ticket I mentioned (Link) who said they had created a ticket about it.

Hi @Scarlett (Scarlett),

Yes, unfortunately that is the case and I also find it very disappointing, as our entire documentation is based on includes. Why they don't simply provide this link here is also a mystery to me. Showing the text in the New Editor doesn't help either. This is another one of those typical “new editing experiences” made by people who don't really work with it.
As already mentioned here, you can find the included pages here:

When you are on the page in View mode:

  1. Select the ellipsis button in the top right (next to Share button)
  2. Select Advanced Details > Page Information

In the Outgoing Links section, you will see all of the pages included on the current page.

Best,

Volker

Hi Scarlett,

Yes, that's correct.  In Confluence Cloud, the functionality differs slightly from the Confluence Server/Legacy editor. In the cloud version, when you use the "Include Page" macro, the options available are typically "Adjust Settings" and "Remove Macro." The "Adjust Settings" option allows you to change which page is being included, but it doesn't provide a direct link to open the included page from the macro settings itself. 

The include macro does work to embed the page when using the cloud new editor 

Thanks

Abi
