After migrating or installing Markdown for Confluence, navigate to the Global Configuration screen:

Global configuration

Use the toggle to enable or disable the Global Configuration settings.

Parameter	Description
Restrict URL access	The Restrict URL access parameter controls whether or not URLs conform to the Confluence Whitelist, provided whitelisting is enabled. Confluence allows administrators to turn on whitelisting to restrict access to URLs configured in the Whitelist settings.
Allow JavaScript	This option controls JavaScript usage in the Markdown apps. Enabling this option allows you to execute JavaScript within the macros.
Help Us Improve the Product	Enabling this option reports usage data that helps us improve the app continually. The app does not send any private user data or personally identifiable information. To learn more about what is being sent, refer to Analytics data.

Whitelist

Manage the URLs that the app can access from this page. The app is restricted to allow the specified URLs only.

Parameter

Description

Expression

Enter a URL or an expression here.

Type

Select a type from the following list:

Domain name - allows URLs of a specific domain. Example: https://www.example.com/.
Exact match - allows only the specified URL. Example: https://www.example.com/thispage.
Wildcard expression - allows all matching URLs. Use * as a wildcard character to replace one or more characters. Example: https://*example.com.
Regular expression - allows all URLs matching the specified regular expression. Example: http(s)?://www\.example\.com.
Refer to this link for more information about regular expressions.

You can perform the following actions on this page:

Add the URL after specifying the Expression and Type.
Update after modifying the details. Select the Expression to enable editing of the URL.
Delete to remove the URL.
Save after adding or modifying any URL in the list.

Profiles consist of a common set of parameters that allow users to choose a profile in the macros. Some advantages of using profiles are:

Profiles allow user authentication required by some URLs to be hidden from page viewers and editors. Only Confluence administrators have access to this information.
Enables macro editors to quickly configure the macro by reusing a shared definition for URL access.
Relative addressing can be used making the page content less likely to require changes when base URLs are relocated.
- Macro configured URL (that is not a full URL) is appended to the profile provided URL.

The page displays a list of profiles available for the macros. Click Add Profile to open a pop-up window as:

Parameter	Description
Profile name	Enter a name for the profile.
Profile type	Specify whether this is a URL, GitLab, or GitHub profile.
URL	Enter the URL to be accessed. If the Profile type is either GitLab or GitHub, a default URL is displayed here that is editable.
User; Password	Enter the username and password to access the specified URL.
Access token	Applicable for GitLab and GitHub URLs. Users must generate the access tokens from either the GitLab or GitHub applications and enter that here.
URL parameters	Mention any extra parameters that must be appended to the URL here.
Request headers	Displays the request headers created as per the given information.
