Popular Confluence Macros That External Users Can See
Atlassian’s new public links feature lets you create a special URL directing to a safe, read-only version of a Confluence page, and share it with someone who doesn’t have a Confluence license.

One big functionality limit with the native links feature is that you can’t share many of Atlassian’s own Confluence macros, and you can’t share *any *3rd party macros.
