Panel

Panels are UI elements that allow users to quickly and easily display content, such as text and images, in a visually appealing way. Additionally, all MacroSuite macros can be displayed within the customized panels. Panels can be used to display information in a more organized fashion, or to highlight specific content. They can also be used as a way to group content into sections for easier navigation.


Examples


How to use

To add the Panel macro to a Confluence page: 

  • Choose “+” in the Confluence editor

Alternatively, type '/' on the Confluence page to see a list of suggestions and type 'panel.' Intuitive configuration dialogue helps users to create and customize panels fast and easily.

Type

The panel type setting is used to define the type of panel; Standard, Notification, or Atlassian style.

Advanced options

Our Advanced options are designed for users seeking more detailed customization:

  • Button width → use the slider to increase or decrease the button's width, affecting the internal spacing.

  • Rounded edges → select from predefined values to give your button rounded corners for a softer look.

  • Shadow → enhance your button with depth by choosing one of the predefined shadow styles: Outer Shadow and Drop Shadow.

The Elements setting allows you to add or remove elements from a Panel. Elements consist of Icon and Title.

Panel title and icon are edited inline, while the content is edited on the Confluence page once clicked on the save button.

Insert macros within Panel macro

MacroSuite panel provides users with the flexibility to enhance their content presentation. Within our panel macro you can seamlessly insert and utilize various Atlassian-native macros, but also our MacroSuite macros for a richer content experience.

Important Note

Please be aware that the compatibility of macros inside the panel may change with each new cloud version that Atlassian releases. Some of the macros are still not compatible.


Macro templates and library

We heard you and finally introduced templates for Panels. Check them out in our redesigned MacroSuite Styleguide.If you want to save your custom-designed Panel, you can do so easily by adding it to the library. Additionally, saving your Panel to the Library makes it accessible to everyone on your team. So, don't lose it even if you don't use it. Save it for later and help your teammates overcome their creative blocks.

Not all Confluence users have permissions to save created panels to library. Open MacroSuite Styleguide permissions in Confluence settings and add users or Confluence groups that can create library panels. Confluence admins have all permissions enabled.
