Composition HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud requires an active app subscription, so uninstalling it will lose this information will be lost on the front end, but it will be made available on the back end in the page’s storage format.

The body of the macro will not be lost if the plugin is not installed. It is Storage Format markup that is persisted by Confluence.

View the Storage Format for a page containing an HTML macro, and you can see that:

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="html-macro" ac:schema-version="1" data-layout="default" ac:macro-id="2be30073-6c34-41aa-9a35-bcc801e8eac8"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[<b>Hello</b>]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

The HTML Macro is currently hosted in the United States, and yes, the Create On Transition app is also hosted in the U.S. However, it will soon have multi-region support.

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to track the exact number of users

using this plugin, as it is embedded within Confluence pages. However, you can monitor the frequency of its usage and the specific pages where it is employed.

Refer to the steps outlined in the screenshot below to gain insights into the

app’s usage patterns.

Or you can perform an advanced search for the macro name (see below),

which will give you a general idea of how many pages it has been used on. This

will not consider pages you can’t see or if the

app is used multiple times on a page.

Here is another process provided by Atlassian to search the usage of macros via API

; refer to the below documents:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/ https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/#status-code

To use the API search function, you

must add the below search after your instance URL. The first will give you all pages

with the HTML macro

up to the 1st 25 uses. The second raises the limit to 250.
