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!

I need an option to create several Expand Panels in one page, but set one of them expanded by default and the rest collapsed.
It would be really good to get this implemented. Familiar with Confluence, but new to cloud. I really wish this functionality was there as it really allowed tailoring of pages to have ALL the content present, but draw attention to the important portions based on which section were shown by default and hidden by default.
It would also be incredible to have this functionality when editing pages. It's frustrating that the state for editing is expanded and the state for viewing is collapsed—this makes editing pages with lots of long expands very unwieldy.
Upvote! This would massively impact many templates used by our teams.
Upvote!!
Being able to author a page with several expand macros , where the starting point is expanded and the rest are collapsed would be a great benefit, and should be a small enhancement to engineer.
Upvoting this as without either auto-expansion on entry, or ability to configure default to expand, the ToC feature is very limited
Emphatic Upvote! It's not logical to offer an Expand Macro that does not allow one to configure the default setting.
I would hope that feature enhancement would be considered for the Data Center offering as well.
Upvote. Setting this for all expand panels on the page or per expand panel would be helpful.
We could use this feature. We have a page with a lot of Expand macros and would like the first two to be expanded by default so users can see more information when the page first loads.
Remembering the state when refreshed would be great too.
Upvote for being able to keep the current status (expanded or collapsed) on the macro when a page is refreshed
Upvote for the function to toggle standard behavior of an expand macro block.
I believe it would also be useful to note that the expand macro is default 'closed' upon the creation and viewing of a page.
There would be a benefit if the expand macro could be configured / toggled to be default 'open' at all times, including when navigating and viewing a page.
For an example, having a page with a significant amount of reporting, it would be useful to be able to initially see all of the reports at once while scrolling through the page, but to be able to collapse the non-necessary reports when focusing on a certain aspect.
Cheers,
Matt
This would be massively helpful. Not only for creators but viewers of the page.
