Confluence Differences

Integration with other macros

Visibility for the Confluence server allows,

  • Integration with other macros.

  • Support of nested macros, which means Visibility macros can easily be nested and integrated with other Confluence native macros or any third-party macros

Visibility for Confluence Cloud has the following Confluence Cloud limitations:

  • Does not support nested macros.

    • Visibility macros cannot be placed in a container (such as inside an expand macro, etc.)

    • Cannot place a container inside Visibility macros (such as inserting an Expand macro, etc.)

  • Due to the above, integration with other macros may be difficult.
