Help text Confluence

[Andre Menezes]

Hey Team,

Please, quick question, would you know how can I add this text in grey in Confluence? That is an explanation text that erases out when I try to type anything. I tried to find the format, but I did not find it the format.

This example is from a template from Confluence.

Hi @Andre Menezes 

This functionality is available for Templates only. 

You need to use Placeholder text macro in the template editor (example below). 

Please note that this option not available in the page editor, so please ensure that you are editing a template and not a page. You can create templates under Space Settings -> Content Tools -> Templates
