12 Days of Confluence Elements: Day 1 - What's an element?

Welcome to the 12 Days of Confluence Elements! For the next 12 days we'll learn how to use common elements we use in our Confluence instance.

Today, we're starting with defining elements.

What are elements?

All the items that can be inserted onto a page are elements. Elements include panels, expandable content, images, and macros. We’ll learn more about macros soon.

Adding an element

Elements can be added by clicking the Insert menu, from the toolbar, or from the slash command menu.

In our instance

We use elements such as panel, divider, emoji, expand, and heading, and macros. You can see examples of many of these elements at Graduation & Commencement.

 

On Monday, we’ll learn about the Expand element.
