Add Page via Form

Description

Creates a simple form on a page for users to enter the name of the new page to add.

Very similar to the Add Page macro, this will then create a new page, which may be based on a template if so desired.

Notes about migration

  • Some legacy Macro parameters from Confluence Server are not supported yet. More details at our FAQ page. We have tagged these parameters with a (Legacy) prefix as seen below.
  • Server users migrating to the cloud will not lose any data.
  • Some server-version parameters are currently unsupported and are ignored by the macro, but all server data will be retained. These functions will automatically work when the function is available in the future.

What features would you like to see in Cloud?

Would you like to see more Server macro parameters in Cloud? Feel free to take our ongoing survey and we will prioritize accordingly.
