Section and Column macros

You can use the Section and Column macros to add a set of columns to the page. The Section macro defines an area that will contain the columns. You can have as many sections as you like. Within each section, you can have as many columns as you like.

The Section and Column macros are useful if you want to define a specific percentage or pixel width for each column. 

To add a section and some columns to a page:

  1. In the Confluence editor, choose Insert > Other Macros
  2. Find the Section macro, select it and insert it onto the page
  3. Choose Insert > Other Macros again
  4. Find and insert the Column macro
  5. Add your content to the column

...

Insert as many columns as you like within the section.

You should always have at least one column macro within a section macro. Using a section macro without any column macros can negatively affect page loading time.
