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.

I found if I cut & paste directly from Word, not as plain text, trying to retain some of the 'headings' formatting, I got this error. If I pasted as plain text without any formatting, then cleaned up the 'headings' it worked. Just something to try for others experiencing this issue.

Transporting formatting from Word is, more often than not, source of pain.

A workaround is using Google Docs as an in-between in the copy-pasting process between Word and Confluence.

You win some, you lose some but the end result tends to be better.
