New Editor default text size ruins pages when converted

[Rob Brooks]

When converting pages to the new editor the text size increases which destroys current tables and formatting.

Can this be edited as a default. ?

Hi @Rob Brooks ,

On top of what Peter said (and I don't think you'll be able to workaround this with CSS - see CONFCLOUD-36137; CSS styling is only available for PDF exports), here are two related suggestions:

• CONFCLOUD-46077: Ability to adjust font size 
• CONFCLOUD-82881: Preserve Table Formatting and Width When Migrating from Legacy to Cloud Editor (take a look at the linked item as well)

So, the text size and font style will change, together with table formatting. This is all expected behavior.

In the end, I believe you'll have to do some manual adjusting of those converted blocks and items, such as tables 🫤

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Rob Brooks ,

This will require a little bit manual work. It's not a bug but a design shift for better responsiveness. Unfortunately, in Standard plan, there's no global "default text size" setting to edit, it's a fixed system. This won't prevent migration changes but it might fix the post-conversion :)

Hope everything works out for you. 

Best, 

Peter

Why is increasing the default text size and introducing a huge amount of wasted blank space a "Design shift for the better"

But it is essentially a huge amount of work to manually adjust thousands of pages.
If it's such a small amount of trivial work I'm sure the Atlassian team will provide a resource to do it for us........ I'll click convert now and it should all be sorted by CoB ..?
