Progress Bar

Use Better Pages Progress Bar to show where a reader is in a journey. Each macro represents one step; Better Pages combines the steps on the published page into one ordered progress experience.

A published four-step Progress Bar with Validate marked as the current step

  1. Insert one Better Pages Progress Bar macro for each step.
  2. Enter a step title and optionally an explicit step number.
  3. Mark the step that represents the current page or stage.
  4. Select a Confluence page or enter a safe destination.
  5. Place the step macros in order and publish the page.

The first macro renders the complete progress bar. Step numbers can make an order explicit; otherwise the page order is used.

Completed, current, and upcoming steps are visually distinct and have readable state labels. A step with a valid destination is a keyboard-accessible link.

Create four steps: Plan, Build, Validate, and Launch. Mark Validate as current and link each step to its page in the delivery space.

  • Use progress for a real sequence, not a decorative list.
  • Keep titles short and use one current step.
  • Check the order and every destination after publishing.
  • On a long journey, consider child pages or a shorter phase-level progress bar.
