In Jira, no the tabs are necessary. In Confluence you can paste a shared link directly into the editor to autoconvert to a tab-less embed or you can edit the macro, select the Display tab and toggle off Tabs.

Note: you will only see the first tab item.

Atlassian has a tiny 32kB chunk storage limit for developers. In order to keep data within your instance and allow unlimited tabs/notes/whiteboards, we decided to store that data securely inside Confluence content attachments. These attachments are named like so: appsplus-tabs-data-m-CjeVCKip.json

Note: do not delete these attachments.

This is an Atlassian bug. Follow these steps to copy-paste the macro without overwriting the tab data:

Edit existing macro, click Export tab, enable the Tabs toggle and copy the data.
Insert a new macro, click Export tab, enable the Tabs toggle and paste the data.
Repeat for the Display configuration data if desired.

This is another Atlassian bug. It doesn’t make sense to have separate panels using valuable screen space when our apps make use of tabs and are cross-compatible.

If one of our apps is already visible: simply add a new tab then paste your link and save.
To hide duplicate panels: click the top-right triple dot and then Hide {App}
