# Add an animation to a Confluence page

To add an animation to a Confluence page, insert the **Animation (Capable)** macro, choose one from the **Animation** list, such as Business Teamwork or Scheduling, and set its **Height**, **Align** and **Loop**. Turn on **Invert on dark mode** if its colours look wrong in dark mode.

## Before you start

* You need permission to edit the page.
* Capable Formatting, or the Capable suite, must be installed on your Confluence site.
* The animations come from Capable's own library. You cannot upload your own file.

## Steps

1. Edit the page, type **/animation** and choose **Animation (Capable)**, or **Animation macro (Capable)** in the standalone app.
2. Choose one from the **Animation** list.
3. Set the **Height** and **Align** it left, centre or right.
4. Turn **Loop** on or off, and turn on **Invert on dark mode** if needed, then publish.

## A few things that catch people out

* For a moving hero section with a headline and button, use [Animated banner](https://help.gocapable.com/macros/animated-banner.html) instead.
* Keep to one animation per page; several at once compete for attention.
