Question	Are there any special cases that I need to be aware of?
Answer	Yes. please see below: The Add Page and Add Page via Form macros may not be displayed the same way in Cloud as they were in Server. For example, if the macro is integrated with a third-party macro, you’ll still need to install that first.
