The combination of the Aura - Tab Group and the Aura - Tab macro allows you to create tabs that can be used to structure your content in a more attractive, easy to read and organized way.

The Aura - Tab Group macro is the outer shell and is used to control the design of all the Aura - Tab macros inside that group.

Therefore the Aura - Tab macro has to be inserted inside the Aura - Tab Group as often as needed.

(warning) Nested Tab Groups are not supported. Please also view the 'Compatibility Overview' section at the end of this page.

Content of Tab 1

Content of Tab 2

Please follow these steps to insert an Aura - Tab Group & Aura - Tab macro on a Confluence Page:

  • Go to the Confluence page you wish to edit

  • Click on the Edit button of the Confluence page or press "E"

  • In the page editor click on the + button (Insert), and select View more

  • Select the Aura - Tab Group macro from the provided list and the configuration dialog appears

  • Configure the Aura - Tab Group as needed and hit the save button of the macro

  • Now click somewhere inside the Aura - Tab Group so that the cursor appears in it

  • Click on the + button (Insert), and select View more

  • Select the Aura - Tab macro from the provided list and the configuration dialog appears

  • Configure the Aura - Tab as needed and finally hit the save button

  • Repeat the the last three steps for each further tab that is needed

The configuration dialog helps users to create the tabs that suit their needs:

  • The Aura - Tab Group provides a live preview on the right that shows the result in realtime

  • The Aura - Tab is a simple form and therefore comes without a live preview

All parameters are optional, customizable by users and explained in detail below.

After the configuration is done click Save and the macro will be visible on your Confluence page. Clicking on Close will abort the configuration and the inserting of the macro.

Choose from different predesigned templates and customize them in the "Configuration" tab to suit your needs.

The configuration is separated into five sections:

  1. General

  2. Active Tab

  3. Inactive Tabs

  4. Hover for Inactive Tabs

  5. Content

Size - Customize the tab size by adjusting the sliders of 'Tab Width', 'Tab Height' and 'Tab Spacing' (not available for vertical tabs)

Active Tab

Background Color - Adjust the background color of the active tab

The desired content is inserted under an aura tab as shown in the screenshot. To insert a new and empty line under an Aura-Tab Macro, insert your cursor to the right of the Aura-Tab Macro and press the Enter key.

The aura tabs act as separators and only the content up to the next tab is displayed in the respective tab.

Please follow these steps to edit or remove the Aura macro on a Confluence Page:

  • Go to the Confluence page you wish to edit

  • Click on the Edit button of the Confluence page or press E

  • Click on the Aura macro you wish to edit or remove

  • A small dialog with the options Edit and Remove appears

  • Click on the desired action

This table shows which content/macros can be inserted and used inside this Aura macro. Please note that the compatibility may change with each new cloud version that Atlassian releases.
