What It Does

The News macro displays Confluence blog posts from your space as a styled feed on any Confluence page. You give the feed a title, set how many posts to show, and choose the feed type - the macro then renders the matching blog posts in that layout.

How to Set It Up

  1. Insert the News macro on your page
  2. Enter a Title for the feed (required)
  3. Enter a Limit - the number of blog posts to display
  4. Select a Feed Type from the dropdown (e.g. Image Feed)
  5. Publish the page

Behavior Notes
