Problem Definition
Expand macro collapses when the page is refreshed.
If the macro is expanded, once the page is refreshed, it returns to collapsed state, since it's the default configuration for the macro.
Suggested Solution
Add an option on Expand macro to customize its default status to be expanded or collapsed one the page is refreshed/opened.
Another possible solution for this case is to keep the current status - expanded or collapsed - on the macro when a page is refreshed.
Why this is important
If the page is too big, you need to find the expand/collapse link every time you access or refresh a page.
Workaround
None.

[CONFCLOUD-54831] Expand macro expanded/collapsed default state
This is a very frustrating situation. The "expand by default" problem has been there for many years and we (the customers) have been waiting for a resolution. There are many items posted requesting this fix. The last post from Atlassian was also a while back and nothing seems to be happening. Please, someone at Atlassian please, please escalate this issue so that it gets fixed. Just add an option to the Expand macro for "default" that is either collapsed or expanded. Seems pretty simple from a developer point of view.
I would prefer a separate state for the expand behavior in the normal view of the page and the editing mode.
If all expands are not collapsed in edit mode is often also distracting. So best would be to have a option to set default mode for expand macros per site and then then a behavior setting for each expand for view and also edit mode!
Do things professional! 
thx!
The best option for my use case is an option in the macro. I have some expands that I want to be expanded by default, and others collapsed by default, sometimes on the same page.
Up-voted. This basic Ux functionality has been on Atlassian's radar for 5 years (or more). It was 'rejected' at least twice. At one point, the Atlassian feedback was "we know it's annoying... suck it up". (I'm paraphrasing, of course ). Hopefully they'll get around to adding auto-expand & auto-collapse (preferably at both page and 'expand' level!)
Is there a similar request for Conflunce Data Center?
If not: here it is!

This would be massively helpful. Not only for creators but viewers of the page.
