The Advanced Expand macro is an expand macro that can be placed inside tables and some other macros. The expand's title is always shown, and the body can be opened and closed to show or hide its content. It's a good macro for adding more information to a page without overwhelming your reader.

Add an Advanced Expand to your page

  1. Navigate to the page you want to edit.

  2. Click the Edit icon.

  3. Click Insert > View More in the Confluence editor, then select the Advanced Expand macro in the Select Macro screen. (Alternatively, use / and begin to type button to access the macro via the quick insert menu.)

  4. In the editor:

    1. Add a title to the Advanced Expand. This is the text that will always be shown.

    2. Add your content to the body of the Advanced Expand. You can use the toolbar to format your content as you enter it.

You can add Atlassian macros inside the Advanced Expand by using / to open the quick insert menu.

5. Click Save. A macro placeholder is displayed on the page.

6. Click Publish to view the rendered Advanced Expand on the page.
