Handling Refused Conversions

If the conversion tool refuses to process a page, it is typically because the macros are "nested" in a way that the tool cannot safely untangle. To fix this, you must manually unnest the content.

How to unnest macros

To prepare your page for a successful automatic conversion, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the conflict: Review the page to locate any unsupported macros. Rich macros such as Expand or nested Tab Groups are not supported for automatic conversion.

  2. Edit the page: Open the Confluence editor.

  3. Move the content:

    • Click on the nested macro (e.g., the Code Block or the inner Tab Group).

    • Drag it outside of its parent container so it sits directly on the page.

    • If dragging is difficult, cut the macro (Cmd/Ctrl + X) and paste it (Cmd/Ctrl + V) onto a new line outside the container.

  4. Delete empty containers: If the parent macro is now empty, delete it.

  5. Publish and Retry: Save the page and trigger the automatic conversion again.

After an automatic conversion, always check the page in View mode to ensure that:

  • All tab content is visible.

  • The layout matches your expectations.
