> ℹ️ [Spectrum Groupe](https://spectrumgroupe.fr/) is pleased to announce the release of the **Spectrum formatting macros app 3.0.0 **version. This major release includes new features, bug fixes, and improvements for both Data Center and Server versions.

> ✅ When restarting the instance, the **SFA** app may be reactivated, we strongly advise you to uninstall it because the new application **SFM** contains all the macros within **SFA**.

**Spectrum Formatting Macros 3.0.0** embodies Spectrum's vision to provide an enhanced, user-centered experience through one holistic Formatting app. The app represents the merger of the two formatting apps **S**pectrum **F**ormatting **M**acros **SFM** and **S**pectrum **F**ormatting **A**dvanced **SFA. **This change will allow users to get the best out of both apps as well as allow Spectrum teams to deliver a complete experience along with optimal customer support.

As a result of this new strategy, the app **SFA **has been archived and replaced by a major ameliorated version of **SFM** that contains all formatting macros. The latter also contains enhanced versions of macros already available in **SFA.**

To get the unified SFM app:

- SFM clients need to upgrade to the latest version.
- SFA clients need to install the latest SFM version.

[New features] 

In this version, 8 new formatting macros have been added:

- Expanders: organize content in clickable styled boxes.
- Advanced Progress Bars: define documented processes, visualize progress and link your Confluence pages to specific steps.
- Percentage progress bar: include styled percentage bars to Confluence pages.
- Panels: create customizable panels such as warning or error alerts, tips, etc…
- Notifications: display In-page notifications for a specific amount of time.
- Buttons: create and place buttons with hyperlinks.
- Infobulles: assign infobulles to specific terms and elements in your Confluence pages.
- Footnotes: include footnotes at the bottom of your confluence pages to cite references or add comments.

[changes] 

- All SFM macros can only be edited within the edit mode only with the exception of two macros: Advanced Progress Bar and Page Status.
- Add the feature icon picker in the tabulation and button macros.

[Improvements] 

- UI/UX improvement of all old macros.

[Bug fixes] 

- Security issue: Xss-Protection.
- Clean Macro progress bar parameters.
- General bugs: ambiguous inputs and license issues.
