Is there a way to embed just a particular section into a Confluence page?

Anna Peterson February 14, 2024

I want to just embed a particular section of a page onto another Confluence page but no matter if I link the header or an anchor, it doesn't allow me to just reference a particular part of a page. Has anyone been able to successfully do this? 

Honestly this functionality would make it so much easier to utilize Atlassian products across their suite because I don't always want to embed an entire page...

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you can do this.  On the source page, place the section you want to embed inside an "excerpt" macro, and then on the page you want to see it in, use "insert excerpt: <point to source page>"

The excerpt will be rendered as though it is content on the target page.

This is what I was looking for - thank you! Would love if this was available to use in Atlas too. That way we wouldn't have to duplicate content we already have in Confluence into Atlas and vice versa.

I would love to see Atlas have a "hey, just show this Confluence page" function!
