Which macro makes external connections to other sites?

• A. RSS macro
• B. HTML macro
• C. Link macro
• D. Table macro

Answer: (A)

Connecting to external content is about fetching and rendering data from a remote site inside the page. The RSS macro is designed to pull in an external RSS feed and display its items within Confluence, so it actually makes a network request to a remote source and brings that live content into the page. That direct ability to retrieve and present content from outside the instance is why this macro best fits the idea of making external connections. The HTML macro can embed external HTML or scripts, and while it may load resources from elsewhere, its primary role isn’t to fetch an ongoing feed or external content in a structured way. The Link macro simply creates a hyperlink to another page or site without pulling in its content. The Table macro displays data you provide on the page, with no external fetch involved.
