Insert the column macro

In June 2025, Atlassian announced the upcoming deprecation of the legacy editor as well as information about converting to the cloud editor.

Before the deprecation begins in January 2026, this macro will still work. See our article on legacy editor macros for more.

Used with the Section macro to define columns on a page. See Add formatting to your page to learn how to use the updated cloud editor layout tools.

Wiki markup example

Wiki markup is useful when you need to add a macro outside the editor, for example as custom content in the sidebar, header or footer of a space.

Macro name: column

Macro body: Accepts rich text.

{column:width=100px} This is the content of *column 1*. {column}
