Links from macros
Anywhere a macro can link somewhere, it uses the same control: link to nothing, to a Confluence page, or to a URL.
Use the page picker rather than pasting a URL. A picked page survives being moved or renamed; a pasted URL does not.
#The three options
Option | When to use it |
|---|---|
None | A card or button that is decorative, or that carries its own action |
Page | Anything internal. Uses the Confluence page picker and survives moves |
URL | External destinations, or a deep link the picker cannot express |
The None option is not offered everywhere. Some macros require a destination, so the option is hidden rather than shown and ignored. If you cannot find it, that macro needs a link.
#A few things worth knowing
A picked page renders as a proper link on a published site; a pasted internal URL may not resolve there.
External links from a macro are ordinary links and do not need an approved domain. Only fetched content does.
Card links export differently to a published site than they do in Confluence. Check the Cards page if that matters.
