Add pages as tabs

The Pages to Tabs macro can:

• Render all first-level child pages of a specified parent page as tabs.

• Render any specified pages as tabs.

The macro displays the page tabs dynamically, which means that if a page is modified, the changes are reflected in the corresponding tab.

The Pages to Tabs macro functions quite similarly to the Include Page macro by Confluence, but without the limitations of these macros, which cannot currently be nested within other macros in Confluence Cloud.

If you use the Tabs macro and copy and paste the content from other pages into tabs, the copied content will not be dynamically updated.
