Why can't I see a list of my favorite pages?

[Brenda Strech]

I have tried the solution in post https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-I-view-all-of-my-favorite-pages/qaq-p/327833

But I cannot find where to add a custom macro. The other solution using the label 'my:favorite' doesn't work either. 

Without this, I don't see why we have a favorite star on confluence pages.

Hi @Brenda Strech

You can't add user macros in Confluence Cloud, that's why you couldn't find the related feature :)

Here's how to find you favorite pages in Confluence Cloud:

1. From the home page, click on Your work
2. Go to the Saved for later tab (favorite pages = saved for later)

Hope this helps,

Manon,

Thank you for the pointer to how to get to favorites. However, as it stands now, making a page a favorite isn't that useful since it takes so many clicks to get to them.

I hope that Atlassian improves this in the future.

I understand this is not optimal, you can vote and watch this related feature request: Show Favourites in the navigation bar.

As a workaround, you could ask your Confluence admin to edit the welcome message and add a link like "View my favorite pages" pointing to this URL: https://yoursitename.atlassian.net/wiki/my/saved-for-later

Hope this helps!
