Table of contents macro links not working in view mode. But works in edit mode

[Jaganathan.P]

This below confluence page table of contents macro links not working in view mode. During edit mode the navigation works. 

Tired multiple approaches like , changing the heading format and other but it does not help.

Please help on this . This affects our business.

Hi @Jaganathan.P and welcome to the Community.

A side note first - this is the public forum, so whatever you post can be seen by anyone on the internet. And while your link requires login, it's not something I'd necessarily share :) 

Advice here is to share screenshots with sensitive bits blurred/covered.

Now, to the actual issue. I could not replicate the behavior - and I've chosen a page with all sorts of macros and 3rd party plugins to test it.

So I'd investigate the following:

• Does this affect any page with a TOC macro?
• Does this happen in any browser?
• Does it happen when you open Confluence in the browser's Private mode and log in?
• Does it happen when you disable browser extensions / plug-ins? 
• Clearing the cache might help too.

One additional thought, have you published the page?

Do you see the links in View mode, but they just don't work or are they not visible on the page?

Generally, only published content shows in View mode.

Good point @Barbara Szczesniak :)

Actually, @Jaganathan.P , I was able to replicate the issue - by placing a heading inside a macro.

Just wanted to share the info as it might put you on the solution path.

Thanks for your response @Kristian Klima . 
Yes, All the heading contents were under "Numbered Headings" Macro. After removing the Numbered heading macro, the issue is fixed.
