Problem
When expanding an 'Expand' macro on a page, the macro immediately collapses half a second after and the data within the 'Expand' macro disappears.
Cause
This is because there are some <div></div> tags and classes enclosed within the storage format of the affected 'Expand' macros that shouldn't be there:
1
2
<div class="expand-container conf-macro output-block">
<div class="expand-control">Resolution
Install Confluence Source Editor if you don't already have it installed.
Edit the affected page(s).
Click on the
<>symbol on the top right corner of the page editor.Search for the following classes:
1 2<div class="expand-container conf-macro output-block"> <div class="expand-control">Remove it from the code, along with their closing
</div>tags.Click on 'Apply'.
Save the page.
