Breadcrumbs

Below that, is the page title.

Visual Editor

Pages use a rich editor that shows you exactly what the page will look like as you edit it. In fact, this is the same editor as Confluence Cloud uses, albeit with slightly less macros or extensions. There is no need for users to learn or memorize complicated Jira Markup to author pages.

The editor has a convenient formatting toolbar to style your content, and inject available macros into your page.

Open

This includes formatting options and insert macros like tables, columns, various panels, embedding files & images, and more.

Slash Commands

As an added convenience, the editor also supports slash commands (/) and typeahead for linking to other pages, @mentioning users, as well as mentioning issues.
