Where is the Expand Macro? Confusing documentation?

[Albert Salgiriev]

Hello,

I am reading this documentation page about the expand macro (*here).

The article states

"This macro was intentionally removed from the new editor and was replaced with an element available from the Insert menu or from the slash command ( / ) ."

What is the new name of the expand macro?

To add the Expand macro:

1. When editing , select from the toolbar

2. Find the item to be inserted and select it

3. Select Insert

What ist the name of the item?

Thank you.

Hi @Albert Salgiriev , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The Expand macro still works, just type /expand in a Confluence page in edit mode and hit Enter. It will then display the expand box where you kan give it a titel and insert the text block.

Give it a try, thanks to accept my answer if it resolves your question.

Hi Dave, thank you for your reply. After I type /exp nothing appears anymore and therefore nothing happens after I hit enter.
We have the cloud version and I am currently editing a confluence page.
Does /expand belongs to an additional pack of macros that maybe are not activated? 

[Dave Mathijs]

No, it doesn't, so it's strange that you are experiencing this issue. Are you the only one of is this a problem for every Confluence user? I would create an Atlassian support request in that case.

Sorry Dave, everything I use is in English, except Confluence it's in German. Therefore no /expand, instead we have "/erweitern".

Hi Albert, glad to see it resolved. Indeed, using another language in Confluence also translates the macros. I have the same "issue" in Dutch and French. :-)
