Q. Why is there a delay when I open the Tabs editor?
A. The tabs editor checks which tabs on the page belong to your chosen group. This takes a few moments but allows you to edit all the tabs at once.
Q. Can I have more than one group of tabs?
A. Yes, to start a second group of tabs, just add another Tabs macro to the page. The second group can have different styling than the first group.
Q. I moved my tabs around on the edit page, and now they are in different groups. What happened?
A. If you change the position of the first tab on the edit page, it can split the tabs into different groups. We recommend rearranging tabs inside the editor to ensure all your tabs stay together.
Q. What happens if I copy and paste tabs macros?
A. It depends on which tab you copy. If you copy the first tab in a group or a whole group of tabs, you will make a new group on the page. If you copy any other tab it will be added to the tab group above it on the page.
When you first open a tabs editor after copying and pasting tabs macros, it may ask you to confirm which tabs you are trying to edit. This is because the app can't tell which of the two identical tabs you are opening. After selecting Save in the macro editor this message will no longer appear.
Q. Does it matter which Tab I select to edit?
A. When you select the edit button for a Tab it opens the editor for the group that the Tab belongs to. The editor will open the details for the tab you chose, but you can edit any of the tabs in the group.
Q. Can I link to a specific tab?
A. Yes you can. Right-click on the tab you want, and copy the link. This link will take you to the page with the chosen tab open at the top of the screen.
Q. Can I put an anchor inside a tab?
A. Unfortunately anchor macros don't work when placed inside a tab. However you can link to a specific tab instead. Right-click on the tab you want, and copy the link. This link will take you to the page with the chosen tab open at the top of the screen.
Q Can I put other macros inside of Tabs?
A.
It is possible to put other macros inside this one. Some larger or more complex macros may not work, or work differently than expected.
When trying to figure out which macros can be put inside others it helps to identify the type of macro you are working with. There are two general types of macro:
Rich Body Macros - These are macros that you can type in on the Confluence Edit page
Simple Macros - These are macros that you can not add anything to on the edit page, you can only affect them by opening them in the editor.
Typically Rich Body Macros, do not work as expected, or at all when put inside other Rich Body Macros.
Most, but not all Simple Macros can be put inside a Rich Body Macro, and usually work as expected.
