# Change Confluence macro settings for your whole site

To change Confluence macro settings for your whole site, open the Macros app as a site administrator and choose **Global settings** under **Manage** in the sidebar. Its tabs hold the macro feature switches, brand guidelines, macro presets and status badge sets: the same settings as the Formatting tab in Confluence administration.

## Before you start

| **You need**                           | **Why**                                                                                                                                 |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Confluence site administrator          | **Global settings** only appears for site administrators, because these settings apply to everyone. Space administrators do not see it. |
| The Macros page, not the insert dialog | The entry is left out of the dialog you use to insert a macro into a page.                                                              |

## Steps

1. Open the app from **Apps** in the Confluence top bar: **Capable Formatting**, or **Capable** and then **Macros** in the suite.
2. In the sidebar, under **Manage**, choose **Global settings**.
3. Open the tab you need: **Features**, **Brand guidelines**, **Macro presets** or **Status badges**.
4. On **Features**, switch **AI integrations** or **JavaScript in HTML macro** on or off. Each switch saves as soon as you change it.
5. On the other tabs, make your changes and click **Save changes**, or **Create preset** on **Macro presets**.

## If it does not work

* **There is no Global settings entry.** You are not a Confluence site administrator, or you opened the insert dialog rather than the Macros page. A site administrator can still use the **Formatting** tab in Capable's settings in Confluence administration.
* **A tab shows Could not load macro branding.** Click **Retry**. The tab waits for a fresh copy of the settings before it lets you edit, so you never overwrite another administrator's newer change.
* **Turning off AI integrations affected another app.** That switch applies to every Capable capability that uses AI, not just macros.
