Can Easy Heading be used with Live Docs?

[Andrew Berger]

I have been using the /Easy Heading Macro to enable a sidebar TOC for Confluences Pages. When I enable/insert an Easy Heading Macro on a Live Doc, the sidebar TOC is not displayed. Does this feature work with Live Docs?

From what I've seen on the Shinetech Software Confluence Wiki (https://shineatlas.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EHMFC/overview?homepageId=65538), they currently do not support Live Docs for the macro. They haven't called it out specifically at least.

This would make sense as the floating sidebar is to be rendered when published, and as a Live Doc is continuously in edit mode, I'm assuming it's not a simple drop in and work.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for raising this — and thanks to the community for the earlier notes.

I'm Michael from Shinetech Software (vendor of Easy Heading Macro for Confluence Cloud). You're right about what you're seeing: **Easy Heading Macro for Confluence Cloud does not currently support Live Docs.** When the macro is inserted on a Live Doc, the floating sidebar TOC not displaying is expected with the current Cloud app.

Live Docs use a continuous editing experience, and our current Cloud implementation isn't able to render the floating TOC there yet. (Related limitation context is also covered here: https://shineatlas.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EHMFC/pages/1638039574/Limitations+for+Cloud+App)

**Workaround for now:** if you need the floating sidebar TOC, please use a regular Confluence Page or blog post instead of a Live Doc. How-to for the Cloud macro: https://shineatlas.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EHMFC/pages/1427636247/How+to+use+the+Cloud+Macro

We're migrating the Cloud app from Connect to Forge, and **we plan to support Live Docs after that Forge migration.** We don't have a firm public date to share yet — if you'd like to be notified when Live Docs support lands, please open a ticket and we'll track the request: https://shineatlas.atlassian.net/jira/servicedesk/projects/SFEHM/queues/custom/36

Happy to answer any follow-ups.

Best regards,
