New! Customizable panels to make your pages pop 💥

49 comments

Merrill Oates DA Admin_Own May 5, 2022

I think it is worth noting for the group following this announcement page as well, that while unicorn icons and rainbow pastel panel colors can be a nice addition in some cases, these new Custom Panels are still extremely limited in comparison to the original Panel Macro feature (still available in the Old Editor).

You can see the request ticket here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66752

Please visit it and add your voice and vote to actually restore the customizable features that really are needed to create flexible content displays.

Hey @Sekajipo Taplah sorry to mention you directly, but could you please get CONFCLOUD-66752 reopened? There's references to this functionality being the fix for that ticket, but it's an entirely separate request.

+1 for adding this to Jira

There's an old..old saying... "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"...

Until Atlassian gets it's act together and starts rooting out some of the basic problems that plague Confluence - such as a totally useless numbering system... A sow's ear is all you're going to be left with - regardless of the pointless baubles to hang on your /panel..... utter rubbish.

Love this new feature!
:-)

Is there somewhere I can disable/leave Atlassian Confluence new features notifications yet still retain notifications when issues are reported/resolved. 

I really get annoyed with this constant barrage of lovey-dovey nonsense over a CM tool. Some of us actually have to use this 'technological road crash' in earnest.

Thanks! @PaweÅ‚ MikoÅ‚ajczuk I tried to create a panel behind a layout, however, this still cannot be done, correct?

Oh so you've given us a feature for the cloud editor that was always present and more functional in the on-prem editor? Wow, well done <- sarcasm, by the way.

Now please fix the rest of the editor issues that we want sorting out.

Please bring back the on-prem version 'Panels' feature set to the cloud version.  This latest update does not address/include all previous features including colored borders.

Any chance of supporting images within panels? I'd have a dozen uses for them.

I love this for adding colour to my pages and highlighting certain content, but it is far less useful because I cannot embed other elements in this this panel. For instance, I cannot use the Image macro, or the Table of Contents macro. :-(

Definitely a step in the right direction, though.

Hi @peter_goodall , the team is currently working on more nesting capabilities not only for panels but throughout confluence!

Is this coming to Jira Cloud ?
I really hope so as it would makes issues much cleaner without icons, since you removed the markup panels stuff.
I made a jira on it here for you:

When will we be able to add images inside a panel in Confluence Cloud? Atm it's just not possible and honestly, it's way more useful as a feature than being able to add custom emojis

This is a great start but far from the end goal. 
We need to be able to nest any and all sorts of content/macros within the panels.
Carry out a full discovery on the capabilities of the original Panel Macro's, and then set out to implement as many of the core features of that plugin into the cloud equivalent.

It would be great if it's possible to save these custom panels for reuse later on somehow (e.g. with a custom / command or add it to the popup that lists the different options for default panels).

I use this feature for reusable announcement banner content. If the source content is updated, any pages including the needed macro are also automatically updated. I can change or "hide" banners any time by only updating one source page, like in the screenshot below. Love it!

Is it possible to get this with only the icons? I want to switch between these icons in editing mode. And I don't want the information panel.

Hi !

I am interested to have customizable panels in jira to do sexy templates like in this YT video:

If you have any idea or update to that, I'd be very grateful.

Sabina Horigan September 12, 2023

If you can't nest a macro like the TOC or Child Pages, then it's useless. Also, since you don't have the border or border/header option like the original one, it looks absurd to put gobs of text in a solid colored box. 

Please just bring back the original panel box.

This is still nowhere near the level of customization we had on server. Please reopen https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66752 and work on implementing the same level of customization that was possible on server.

Need to be able to add images, tables, and links in the Custom Panels like we did before.  Also need to be able to highlight an image and text and left justify and the text be beside not under the image. Going to Confluence Cloud Editor was a backwards move and this completely messed up a lot of my pages. I had access to a lot more functions before this change.
