Most issues like in your screenshots come from a mix of legacy vs cloud editors plus pasted tables carrying hidden styles, so there isn’t a one‑click auto‑fix for existing pages; the reliable approach is to convert pages to the cloud editor, clean pasted formatting, and standardize new pages with a template and Confluence Automation. Sticky header behavior and column sizing also depend on native table rules, so ensuring a simple header row without merged cells and reapplying table options usually resolves display inconsistencies
Follow below steps
- Open the page in edit, convert it to the cloud editor if it’s still legacy, then republish to align rendering and table behavior across pages
- Click anywhere in the table and set exactly one header row, avoid merged cells in the header, and confirm the header sticks only on large tables without multi‑row header
- Use Distribute columns and adjust table width (centered, wide, or full‑width) to normalize column sizes and improve readability
- If content was pasted from Word/Excel/web, select the cells, clear text formatting, or re‑paste as plain text to strip hidden styles before re‑applying Confluence table options
Suggesstions
- Create a space or global template that includes the required table structure, header settings, and width presets so authors always start from the same layout
- Add a Create‑from‑template button or instruct users to create from the template to prevent ad‑hoc tables that drift in formatting
- Set up Confluence Automation at space or global level to auto‑create pages from that template on triggers or schedules, keeping all future content consistent by design
