Has the placeholder text functionality been removed from Confluence?

Christopher Brown June 7, 2021

I am trying to add placeholder text to a Confluence page and don't see the option. It has been a few months since I have used that function, so wondering if it's been removed?

If your template editor is using the new Confluence editor, then you'll find the Placeholder text macro under the + sign menu. 

Some templates might still be using the legacy editor. For these, you will instead find a menu item with a page icon, and it's called Instructional text instead.

By the way, this macro is only available in the template editor. So if any of your users try to add it when editing a page in Confluence, it won't be possible.
