   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it. 

   The Actions area of the report lists hyperlinks for job actions that are appropriate to the type of discrepancy displayed in the report. The available actions for each type of discrepancy are as follows:

   • Current Running versus Startup: Commit and Reboot
   • Current Running versus Trusted Running: Deploy to Active (Trusted Running) and Mark as Trusted
   • Current Startup versus Trusted Startup: Deploy to Stored (Trusted Startup) and Mark as Trusted
   • Current Running OS Image versus Trusted Running OS Image: none
5. Click the Action hyperlink.
   The Discrepancy Details Report pop-up window and the parent window close, and the Job Editor is displayed, along with the respective Action Editor popup window.
