I'm Elena, a product manager for[Handy Macros for Confluence.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=server)

It's an app that you can use to enrich visualization on your Confluence pages. With one app you can:

* Add clickable [buttons](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Button+macro) to focus attention on links

<!-- -->

* Create appealing [cards](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Cards+macro) - page previews with automatic and custom content
* Add [pop-up tooltips](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Tip+macro) to text, images, or emoticons
* Create nice-looking [carousels](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Carousel+macro) with images and videos
* Create interactive [statuses](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Status+macro)
* [Remind](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Reminder+macro) yourself and your colleagues of important things and scheduled events
* [Mark](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/HMFC/How+to+use+Handy+Timestamp+macro) the release time of your projects and protect them from changes

Here's an example of a page with buttons, statuses, and timestamps you cam create in a few clicks:

thanks for the answer. I am not sure, whether I have the permissions to install apps in my workspace, but if so, I will definitely try out the handy macros.

Kind Regards,

welcome to the Atlassian Community.

One question to start with: Am I assuming correctly that you're using Confluence Server/Data Center? The tags point into a Cloud direction, but your version number into Server/DC.

If yes, then you could try to create a user macro as described in this [blog post](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/2021/09/creating-buttons-in-confluence/) by Stiltsoft. They're demonstrating how you can add parameters to a user macro. If you're familiar with CSS, you can add a parameter for the color to it.

Or as the blog post describes, you could also get a [marketplace app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com) like [theirs](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=stiltsoft) offering this functionality.

Cheers,  
Matthias

thanks for the Welcome, and yes, I am using Confluence Server. I think the tags were auto-generated, thanks for pointing that out. I will take a look at the Blog-Post, hopefully that will work. I will also see if i can install the App, but I am unsure if I have the permission to install Apps in the space I am working in.

Thanks a lot,

Luca
