Placeholder Text / Instructional Text

[Erlend Van der Veeken]

Hello gang,

"Placeholder Text" macro is an issue that comes and goes. I am currently making a template in confluence. Can somebody confirm that this macro is no longer available as of September 29 2023. Or maybe someone know how to put it back?

Much obliged. EvdV

I just tried and I still have the Placeholder Text macro available. I tried creating a new template and editing an existing template, and it is there on both.

I do note that it is not available when you are not on a template. In your screenshot, the menu overlaps the breadcrumbs at the top, so I can't see whether it says Templates at the end. When I edit a template, however, I do not see the pencil icon in front of the breadcrumb that I see in your screenshot.

Hey Barbara,

Thank you very much for your swift reply.

I believe the template is the culprit. There is a difference in making a page with a template and making a template. Let me convert my page into a template and see how that goes. Appreciate your help.
