Has confluence removed the 'Placeholder text' macro?

Question

I am trying to create templates with placeholder supporting text, but the placeholder macro can't be found in the '+' menu or by typing /placeholder.

I have tried multiple templates, and various pages to see if there might be an issue with the page, but didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Matt Hilley

I still have access to this macro on my cloud instance.

Did you try with another web browser ?

Hi Matt, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The placeholder macro is available but only when creating/ editing a template. So when you choose "use this template" you are creating a page based on a template and you won't be able to add new placeholders.

Creating/editing a template can be done from the global or space settings.
