Linking content from one page to another in Confluence

Tags:

confluence

We have bunch of Confluence pages for each team to note down the leaves. Each such page consists of a table with team, team member name, month, week ..etc.

Now we want to have a consolidate page which shows information about all the teams in a single page. Can we create a consolidated page which uses the content in all other pages?

I read about macros but couldn't understand how they can be used. Is it possible to use content from one page in another page dynamically?

How do I make a link jump to a specific part of a page in Confluence?

Wherever you want to create a link to that section inside the Page, just create a normal link, put whatever you want in the text display, but in the link address just type "#" and the name of your anchor, Ej: "#MY-JUMP1", that creates the jump link to the place in your Page.

Can you embed a Confluence page in another Confluence page?

You can use the Include Page macro to display the contents of one Confluence page or blog post in another page or blog post.

What is an anchor link in Confluence?

The Anchor macro allows you to add a target to a specific part of a page so that a link can be added to jump the reader to that section. These can be especially useful for allowing your readers to navigate to specific parts of a long document. Anchors are invisible to the reader when the page is displayed.

Yes you can by using the "Excerpt" macro (to mark one section in a page as "insertable" and use this in another page). If you need to have multiple sections in one page to reuse in other pages, there is also a "Multi Excerpt" macro.

So, for example, if you have a page with a few lines of text, you can basically insert the excerpt macro and paste all content into it that you want to reuse on other pages:

Excerpt

(in this case I want to reuse "line 2")

In another page, you can reference this marked content by inserting the "Excerpt Include" macro and specifying the page you want to take the marked content from:

Excerpt
(source: imagestack.net)

The result in this case is

Excerpt
