Get the high-level details you need to set up your Confluence Cloud site in order to meet your team's needs.
Insert the status macro
This macro was intentionally excluded from the new editor and was replaced with an element available from the Insert menu or from the slash command ( / ) .
The Status macro displays a colored lozenge (a rounded box) that is useful for reporting project status. You can choose the color of the lozenge and the text that appears inside the lozenge. The macro also displays its current status in the editor, and you can change the status directly in the editor.
Using the Status macro
To add the Status macro to a page using the Macro Browser:
When editing, select from the toolbar
Find the macro by name and select it
Configure it as needed
You can also type / on the page to bring up the same list you'd see by selecting from the toolbar. Continue typing the name of the macro to filter the list.
Speeding up macro entry with autocomplete:
In the new editor - Type / and the beginning of an element (tool or things in the insert menu) to see a list of suggestions.
In the legacy editor - Type { and the beginning of the macro name to see a list of suggested macros.
To edit an existing macro:
Click the macro placeholder and choose Edit. A macro dialog window will open, where you can edit the parameters of the macro.
Parameters
Parameters are options that you can set to control what and how content from the macro appears on the page.
If the parameter name used in Confluence Cloud storage format or wikimarkup is different than the label used when inserting macros using the browser or the slash command, it will be listed below in brackets (example).
Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|

Use outline style | False | The style of the lozenge and its border. The default style lozenge is a solid background color with white text. The outline style lozenge is white with a colored border and colored text. |
