The Excerpt macro is used to mark a part of a page's content for re-use. By itself, the Excerpt macro does not change the display of a page. However, defining an excerpt enables other macros, such as the Excerpt Include and Blog Posts macros to display the marked content elsewhere.

Info You can only define one excerpt per page. In other words, you can only add the Excerpt macro once to a page.

Using the Excerpt Macro

To add the Excerpt macro to a page:

  1. In the Confluence editor, choose Insert > Other Macros.
  2. Find and select the required macro.

You can then add content to the body of the Excerpt macro placeholder.
