Does the editable panel macro still exist?

[Amanda Milko]

I'm unable to find the macro listed below which allows the user more control to edit the content and appearance of a panel. Does this still exist, and I'm only missing it?

It is because:

This macro was intentionally excluded from the new editor and will be deprecated from the legacy editor soon.

Thanks for the fast answer. Do you happen to know why the deprecation? Or have any suggested ways of replacing the functionality? 

[Bill Bailey]

My guess is a belief that it will improve editor performance and page rendering times. They are also reducing thier testing overhead by removing a lot of macros.

Their suggestion is to use the Info panel instead.

One of the many reasons I do not recommend the Cloud solution to anyone who has experience with the Server edition. They keep reducing functionality with the Cloud.

Thanks so much for all of your insight!

also you can put almost nothing inside the info panel macro, like jira queries. Can't put them inside the panel at all.

This is ridiculous... Panel Macro | Confluence Data Center 9.0 | Atlassian Documentation On this page there's nothing mentioning this message "excluded". And the modification timestamp is 2024.06.31. For a platform which is designed to make better documentation and tries to teach people how to do knowledge management, this is just reminding me how ridiculous the world is :) In the meanwhile, so many "fancy" AI functions are promoted but actually useless. Reminds me of Win 11 :)
