When making pages in Confluence, there is a very large amount of white space (or black space in dark mode) to the left and right of the actual content. The area where I can actually put content is much more narrow than it could be. How can I make the content span the entire available area?

Hello @Anton Kratz 

Welcome to the Community!!

At the global level, a Confluence admin can enable the option to set the default page width for all users. However, users will still be able to set the page width on their individual pages. Please refer the screenshots attached.
