To add cards to a Confluence page, insert the Cards (Capable) macro. Each card has a Title, Description, optional Image and a Link to a Confluence page or a web address. Select Add card for more, drag them into order, then set columns, colours and hover effect on the Style tab.

#Before you start

  • You need permission to edit the page.

  • Capable Formatting, or the Capable suite, must be installed on your Confluence site.

  • One macro holds up to 100 cards.

#Steps

  1. Edit the page, type /cards and choose Cards (Capable), or Cards macro (Capable) in the standalone app.

  2. On the Content tab, enter the card's Title and Description and, if you like, an Image.

  3. Set the card's Link to a Confluence page (start typing the page name) or a web address.

  4. Select Add card for each extra card, and drag cards into order.

  5. On the Style tab, choose Columns, Gap, Hover effect, Show images and Show descriptions, then publish.

#A few things that catch people out

  • Card colours can come from your site's brand palette, so a set of cards matches the rest of your pages.

  • For cards that list pages automatically, such as a page's children, use the Search Cards macro from Capable Search instead.
