After confluence upgrade, not able to see some editor options etc.

[J S S S Bharath]

After a recent confluence update, I'm not able to see some table editor options. 

1. When we keep the confluence page in edit mode, we used to see cut table and copy table options, now I'm not able to see.
2. I was able to copy table and paste them, now I'm not able to 
3. I'm not even able to insert a table. 
4. /expand used to work in creating a expand macro, now it's not happening.

Can you please help?

Hi @J S S S Bharath ,

TinyMCE license expired today (06-Sep-2026) which is bundled with the Confluence software by Atlassian. TinyMCE is used in editors. Atlassian is working on the fix. Watch and vote for below ticket. 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-104454

Hello Rilwan Ahmed, 

I have voted and started watching, The version I'm using is 10.2.14. 

The information present in the jira is very relevant to the issue i'm facing.

Cheers

Bharath

Hello @J S S S Bharath 

Is this a data center or the cloud?

Because your upgrade wording points me to a data center, making the previous answer from @Jovânio Junior  useless.

If that's a data center, from which version to which version?

Best,

Hello Arkadiusz Wroblewski, 

I sincerely apologise, I am unable to answer these questions as I'm not from software background. 

However, the confluence site showed that there is a scheduled upgrade this weekend, and after that I'm unable to do the following

1. Unable to insert a table neither from the menu nor by using /table
2. /expand is not working, but was able to insert "expand" using + option in the menu
3. Unable to edit the existing table, insert rows, delete rows etc.

[Arkadiusz Wroblewski]

So I encourage you to contact your admin if you are not one of them, because of its data center, he should know not everything is working fine.

Hi Bharath, welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It sounds like you may have been moved to the new Confluence editor experience, where some controls have changed location rather than being removed.

For example, Atlassian now expects you to insert elements such as tables using either:

/table

or the + button that appears when you hover near a content block. The same applies to macros such as:

/expand

The Expand macro is still supported, and Atlassian’s current documentation confirms it can be inserted from the toolbar or with the / command.

So I’d first try:

type /table
type /expand
use the + button beside a content block
open View more to see the full element/macro browser

If none of those appear, then I’d suspect either a browser/UI issue or a problem with the editor rollout rather than a normal product change.

I’d also test in an incognito window and another browser before raising it with Atlassian Support.

Hello Jovânio Junior, 

Appreciate the reply

1. Tried incognito and on two browsers.
2. + -> View more macros, is not showing table, but showing expand
3. Another observation, I'm not able to edit the existing tables as well

[Jovânio Junior]

Hi Bharath,

Thanks for checking those points.

Since /expand is available but Table is missing from View more, and you also can’t edit existing tables, this no longer looks like a normal editor navigation change.

At this point I’d treat it as a likely editor/UI issue or rollout regression.

I’d suggest raising it with Atlassian Support and including:

a screenshot of the missing Table option;
confirmation that it happens in incognito and multiple browsers;
confirmation that existing tables are also not editable;
the affected Confluence site/page URL;
when you first noticed the behavior.

That combination should help Support identify whether your site is affected by a recent editor rollout or bug.

Hope this helps!
