Parameters
The following table provides you with a description of the parameters for the MultiExcerpt macro:
Parameter | Mandatory | Description |
|---|---|---|
Name |
| Specify a name for your MultiExcerpt content. |
Fallback permission handling |
| The Fallback permission handling parameter in the MultiExcerpt macros is used to provide a fallback permission check in some scenarios, such as exposing Confluence content in Jira Service Desk (JSD). A system user or app user exists for 3rd party apps like the MultiExcerpt app. When Fallback permission handling is enabled for a MultiExcerpt, the app user will be used to access the excerpted content when a MultiExcerpt Include macro requests it, ONLY for situations where the user cannot be found. An example of a scenario where it could be necessary to enable it is when using a MultiExcerpt Include on a page that is exposed on JSD. Due to Atlassian bugs, users not in your basic profile in JSD will be unable to see content included using a MultiExcerpt Include. |
Hidden |
| When the page is published, this option allows you to hide the MultiExcerpt content. |

Find include - all spaces |
| Lists all the pages in all spaces, with include macros that includes this excerpt. Since this will search all spaces available, the search may take time. |
