Confluence pages are powerful containers for knowledge, documentation, and team collaboration. But when it comes to displaying visual content -- product screenshots, event photos, marketing banners, or process walkthroughs -- the standard page layout falls short. Images stacked vertically create long, scroll-heavy pages that are difficult to scan, and Confluence's built-in gallery macro only offers a static thumbnail grid with no interactive slideshow behavior.

Widget Carousel for Confluence solves this by adding a fully interactive image carousel macro that you can embed on any Confluence page. You select images from page attachments or upload new ones directly, then display them in a customizable slider with configurable width options. The result is a polished, professional-looking carousel that transforms how visual content is presented in your Confluence workspace.

This FAQ covers the most common questions teams have about Widget Carousel for Confluence -- from basic setup and content types to advanced configuration, responsive design, and how it compares to Confluence's native gallery macro. Whether you are building a company dashboard, a project landing page, or a team portal, this guide will help you get the most out of the carousel.

Graphviz Charts for Confluence brings that same engine directly into your Confluence pages, letting you write DOT language descriptions and get polished, auto-laid-out diagrams without leaving your wiki.

Confluence ships with a fixed set of system fonts that work for general documentation. But if your company has brand guidelines specifying particular typefaces, or your team wants documentation that looks polished and distinct from every other Confluence site, the default typography is not enough. Custom fonts transform a generic-looking wiki into a branded internal product that team members immediately recognize.

Google Fonts for Confluence gives you access to over 1,798 Google Fonts directly inside your Confluence pages. You can customize font family, weight, size, color, and alignment with a live preview that shows exactly how your text will look before you save. This step-by-step tutorial walks through everything: installing the app, configuring fonts, applying them across spaces, and maintaining a consistent typographic system that respects accessibility and brand standards.
