Advanced Panelboxes Cloud

On Advanced Panelboxes for Confluence

Panel boxes are useful to structure text on a Confluence page.

• In Cloud, there is no generic panel macro anymore. There are only the standard Confluence panels (info, warning, etc.) that cannot be customized.

• Using the app Advanced Panelboxes for Confluence, administrators can configure a set of Panelboxes in the app settings that will be available to all editors.

• Editors can simply pick a predefined box and be sure to match the corporate design.

• If the style of a Panelbox needs to be changed, those changes are made once in the app configuration. All the corresponding Panelboxes are changed immediately throughout the whole Confluence instance.
