Add UI Tabs macros to a page

This solution consists of an outer macro which is a container for inner macros (the individual tabs). In the example above, we created one UI Tabs macro that contains three UI Tab macros.

  1. In the Confluence editor’s top menu, click + > View more or Other macros.

  2. Find and select the UI Tabs (with an -s) macro.

  3. Inside the UI Tabs macro, place as many UI Tab (without an -s) macros as you want. Click Insert > View more or Other Macros and select the UI Tab macro. Add content below each UI Tab bar.

Info

In general, we don’t support adding third party macros within the UI Tab(s) macros. As we continually work on improving our apps, please let us know your suggestions for added third party macro support if this is critical to you.
