Differences between server/DC and cloud versions
All the macros available in the server/DC version are supported in the cloud version as well. The following table lists the macros' parameters and features that work differently in server and cloud:
| Parameter/Feature | Server | Cloud | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| URL whitelisting | Supported natively by Confluence and configured using the Global Configuration page | Administrators must manually whitelist the URLs in the Global Configuration page, because Confluence cloud does not natively support URL whitelisting. | For more information, refer to CLOUD-2636. |
| Rendering Markdown content having angle quotes | Supported | Not supported | For updates on this feature, refer to MARKDOWN-388. |
| Rendering links with spaces between text and link | Supported | Not supported | For updates on this feature, refer to MARKDOWN-387. |
| Linking pages to other applications using AppLinks | Supported | Not supported | For updates on this feature, refer to MARKDOWN-375. |
| Exporting a page as an attachment, or, as a PDF or Word formats | Supported | Not supported | For updates on exporting a page as an attachment feature, refer to MARKDOWN-216. For updates on exporting a page in PDF or Word formats feature, refer to MARKDOWN-264. |
| Using customized CSS for tables in macros | Supported | Not supported | For updates on this feature, refer to MARKDOWN-261 |
Please note that all the other parameters function the same in both versions of the app.
