Feature request: Full‑width / wider content option for Confluence live docs

[Christopher Kelley]

Can this be logged as a formal feature request in your internal Jira, and can you share the ticket ID so we can watch/vote?

In Confluence live docs, the content is constrained to a narrow fixed-width column that does not expand with browser width.

This is different from classic pages where we can choose “full width” or use layouts.

Request:
– Add a “full width” / “go wide” option at the doc or element level (similar to Cards’ Back to center / Go wide / Go full-width behavior).
– Or let space admins configure default canvas width for live docs (preferably allow granularity to the page level).

Impact:
– Strategy and reference docs with wide tables are difficult to nearly impossible to read.
– Users reasonably expect browser width changes to give more horizontal room, but live docs stay locked to a narrow column.

Environment:
– Confluence Cloud live docs
– Browser(s): Chrome/Edge/…

This feels like a UX gap vs. regular pages and whiteboards.

Hi @Christopher Kelley 

I'm not sure if we're on the same page, or the same live docs, but you can go full width in live docs:

Hover the cursor in the are above the page title and extra menu shows up, you can then set the width for the page/live docs.

In my screenshot, I have a live doc.

Hello @Christopher Kelley 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

As this is a user community, where users help users, it is not the best method to contact Atlassian about a feature request.

First check if this request already exists. You can check Atlassian's public backlog here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

If it does not you have two options:

1. Contact your Administrators and ask them to open a support case to submit the request.

2. In Confluence click the Help button (near your avatar) and use the Give Feedback option to submit the feedback yourself directly to the Atlassian team.
