Hi @Fadoua 

Some tips and techniques for creating attractive pages in Confluence using built-in macros and features:

Use Panel and Status Macros for Visual Appeal, The Panel macro allows you to highlight text in colored boxes with customizable backgrounds, borders, and titles

Use it to break up content and draw attention to key information. Similarly, the Status macro adds colorful status indicators that are great for visually displaying task or project statuses

Improve Navigation with Table of Contents and Expand Macros, The Table of Contents macro automatically generates a clickable outline of your page headers, making long pages easier to navigate

For pages with lots of content, use the Expand macro to create collapsible sections, allowing users to focus on specific information

Enhance Readability with Formatting Macros

While not technically macros, Confluence's built-in formatting options can greatly improve page aesthetics:

  • Use headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to create a clear content hierarchy
  • Apply bold and italics for emphasis
  • Create bulleted and numbered lists for easy scanning
  • Insert horizontal rules to separate sections

Visualize Data with Chart Macros

Confluence offers various chart macros to display data visually. As you update the source data in tables, the charts will automatically refresh to reflect the changes

Improve Page Structure with Anchors

Use the Anchor macro to create jump links within long pages. This allows readers to quickly navigate between sections, improving the overall user experience
