To add a new macro to the favorites list while editing a page, click on the image-20250104-125745.png icon or simply run the macro browser image-20250104-125808.png.

If your list of favorite macros is empty, you will see a button to add to it.

 

 

In the macro selection window, a star icon is displayed beside each macro. By pressing this icon, you can either add or remove a macro from your favorites list.

An empty image-20250104-125615.png icon indicates that the macro is not currently on your favorites list, while a filled image-20250104-125651.png icon signifies that it is already included.

Upon modifying or deleting a macro, you will receive an acknowledgment of the action taken.

 

If you have macros on your favorites list, you will now be able to quickly add them to the website content from the top menu without searching for them in the list of all available macros in the application.

 

Additionally, in the “Manage” section, you can arrange the order of macros on the list and remove those that you no longer require.
