How to add navigation macro in Confluence page templates

Problem

Link the pages with related content (e.g. meeting notes, release notes, guides and tutorials), so the user can navigate back and forth easily.

Add CQL Navigation Macro in the Confluence page template
When you create a page using this template, the macro will add the previous and next button

Users will be able to read the content (meeting minutes, deployment plans, etc) chronologically with a single click
- The user can easily recap what happened during the previous meeting
- The users can update the agenda/notes for the next meeting
Direct the users through the content (e.g. user guides, tutorials or training materials) topic by topic
There is no need to edit the pages to add the links in manually

The image below shows is a page template for Meeting notes Blueprint, and we added the CQL Navigation Macro at the top.

To edit the Meeting notes Blueprint, click Space tools > Content Tools > Meeting notes > Edit

The CQL Navigation Macro is configured as follows:

Navigate By	Label within same parent page
Labels	meeting-notes
Order By	Created date
Previous Button Text	Previous meeting notes
Next Button Text	Next meeting notes
Button Color	Blue
Arrow Style	None
Button Position	Side
Button Size	Large

Now, when you are creating a page using this template, click on the previous and next buttons will take you to another meeting notes page.

To create a page from template, click … in the Confluence header > select Meeting notes
