If you only want results from specific labels, simply use commas to separate the labels. For instance: label1, label2. This functionality is invaluable for spotlighting particular subjects or documentation areas, enabling focused exploration and organization of content within Confluence.

Number of Index columns

Empowering you with choice and flexibility, the Space Page Index Macro lets you dictate the layout that best suits your needs. Whether you prefer a streamlined view with just one column or a more expansive display with two or three columns, the decision is entirely yours.

For some users, a single column may offer optimal clarity, allowing for a focused, uncluttered presentation of content. Others may find that two columns strike the perfect balance between compactness and comprehensiveness, accommodating a broader range of information without overwhelming the viewer. And for those who require maximum detail and organization, three columns provide the space to display content-rich indexes.
