How do you collapse content in confluence? The option that existed previously is gone. I'm working on my newsletter and need to collapse it. Any ideas? When I highlighted my content in the past I'd just click the + buttons and this was selected in the dropdown. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, TIA!

Hi @Renata Shuklaper , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

Have you tried already the Expand Macro? https://community.atlassian.com/forums/App-Central-articles/How-to-use-expand-collapse-sections-in-Confluence-Cloud/ba-p/2850926 

I agree it is missed off of this list - https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-macros/ but I just checked in my cloud instance and it is there.

Hope this helps you.

Best wishes

Hi @Renata Shuklaper 

You still can do that, but in Confluence Cloud, you have to type "/," not "+," like it was on Data Center Screenshot 2025-09-25 at 08.52.47.png

You can use the built-in Confidence expand, or if you need more advanced functionality for better branding and customisation, you might try Mosaic for Confluence
