The absence of the old server Panel macro makes our Cloud pages really hard to read/follow.

Please bring it back.

These are nice, but the standard customizable panel designed to organize your information was sooo helpful.  At the very least, allow us to add borders to our layout elements. 

I miss the server panel as well, where you could set an actual title (and not just a bolt text!) with a different color in the background and also add macros within the panel. I like the text boxes in the Cloud, but calling those panels and therefore imply they're like the old ones is a bit far off. Bring the old one back please (as an addition to the text boxes you have today)!

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a likelihood that Atlassian will actually fix this.  Their behavior with this issue suggests that they do not feel compelled to be a good or reliable provider, and instead just have to be appealing to prospective customers and too difficult/inconvenient to leave once we're in.  Additionally infuriating is that, rather than admitting that they have no intention of fixing it, they're gaslighting everyone (and removing it from the internal "not fixed" list) by providing a different feature which doesn't even come close to satisfying the need, and stamping it "fixed".  Maybe we can request a new feature with specific requirements to meet the actual need, just to get eyes on it again with some guardrails to maintain scope?  I expect that this issue is not monitored at all, as it's been 'completed'.

WHY is this issue closed? You can't create a bunch of colored boxes with the only customization being an emoji and call that a "panel" like the old one.  Please reopen. Your version of panels is something different than the OG on-prem one. That's like closing a ticket because you built a bike when people are asking for a car

Unless you can put a macro inside of it, add a header to it, create a border with no fill...then you didn't create panels. You created a colored rectangle for plain text.

This needs to be reopened because the customization level of the panels in the Confluence cloud is still nowhere near the same level of customization it used to be on-premise. It's extremely disappointing. Not only have we lost the ability to customize the panel, but we can't even nest macros within the panel. This was such a terrible idea to downgrade panels.

We need the ability to nest the Child Page macros and Titles for the Panel macro again. Why was this removed? This broke something that was working out great for our pages and was a big part of the design of our home page. Can we bring back the original Panel macro please? 

I tried to work through Support to get this ticket reopened, but without success. I've opened a new request. 🤞

This has not been fixed - we still can't configure a panel anything like what we had in server.
