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 customised.

  • 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 cooperate 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.

Any changes to existing Panelboxes must be carried out by a Confluence Administrator (guide see below). Changes to the original Panelbox configuration will impact all existing Panelboxes on Confluence pages.
