Displaying pages as in native Confluence

By default, Refined sites render Confluence pages with a distinct look, which supports many but not all Confluence styling options and macros. If your Confluence pages contain unsupported formatting or macros, you can display them exactly as they look in native Confluence:

  • Display any third-party macro

  • Show all original formatting

  • Edit the page directly on the Refined site. This is only possible for the new Confluence editor and if the user has Confluence permissions to do so.

To display pages as in native Confluence:

  1. Go to Confluence space settings

  2. Toggle on Display pages as in native Confluence.

Due to technical limitations, this feature is only available on private sites that don’t have a custom domain. Please vote on this public Atlassian ticket.

Impact on other settings and performance

Displaying pages as in native Confluence:

  • Disables the following the space settings:

    • Display authors. The pages will still show author and last updated though, because this is standard information on a native Confluence page.

    • Show estimated read time

    • Table of content

  • Moves some controls that are normally located at the top of the page, to the bottom of the page:

  • May cause slightly slower performance on-page.

  • May cause certain page interactions not to work, such as opening links located within third-party macros.

Additionally, since pages are shown in an iFrame, some macros will be displayed as an iFrame within an iFrame (e.g. Miro or Figma). In those cases, this may result in a sub-optimal experience for users.
