Macro usage statistics
Asked by Jeremiah Pierce:

I am trying to see how often a macro is used and am following the steps provided by Atlassian help page. Am I doing something wrong or looking in the wrong location?

Macro usage statistics {#toc-hId--411553424}
--------------------------------------------

Confluence administrators can check how often each macro is used in your site.

To see how often a macro is used, go to **Administration** ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/files/747833194/747833195/2/1517274813281/cog.png) \> **General Configuration** \> **Macro Usage**. This lists how often each macro is used in current spaces but doesn't include any macros used on pages in archived spaces or macros provided by disabled apps.

body: [@Sanjen Bariki](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5115866) that is where I was looking but my problem is according to the steps there should be a General Configuration \> Marco Usage but I do not see that. I have gone through all the tabs and could not find anything on Macro Usage like the document link you provided shows. Is that document outdated and the steps have changed to find this?

body: As you can see General Configuration \> Marco Usage is not an option and if I click on the different options those never show. So, I cannot figure out how to find Macro usage statistics.

As i can see in the screenshot, I think you are on the wrong direction.

Please follow the below steps.

* *Click on cog icon right side \>\> General configuration \>\> Adminstration ( Macro usage ).*

Check and let me know If you are not getting this option.

body: [@Sanjen Bariki](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5115866) First thank you for taking so much time to assist me. With that said I do not have a cog on the right side of my page(s) only on the bottom left side like in the previous image. This may be the problem. I am an Admin for our group's pages, but I am not the original creator. Does that make a difference? I have the 3 ellipses in the top right corner but again it does not contain the General configuration option.

To check the micro statistics in confluence, you need have the Admin access in the confluence. As mentioned in the document to check the micro statistics, Click on the right side cog icon from the home page of confluence \>\> There you will 3 option select general configuration option then select the Macro statistics from left side. This option not from any page .
