Welcome to the Atlassian Community! ?

For creating beautiful and engaging Confluence pages, I highly recommend checking out two fantastic plugins: **Aura Content Formatting Macros** and **Karma Page Builder**.

### Aura Content Formatting Macros {#toc-hId--2147457292}

Aura offers a variety of macros to make your Confluence pages visually appealing and highly functional. With 16 macros, you can add:

* **Aura Cards**: Create visually appealing summaries.

* **Aura Progress Bars**: Track project progress visually.

### Karma Page Builder (FREE APP) {#toc-hId-340055541}

Karma is another excellent option for building stunning Confluence pages effortlessly:

### Data Residency Impact {#toc-hId--787340552}

Regarding data residency, both Aura and Karma are designed to work seamlessly within Confluence, ensuring that your data remains within your Confluence instance. These plugins do not transfer your data to external servers, so you can rest assured that your data residency requirements are maintained.
