I want to freeze the first row of a table that I have created in confluence. What's the process to do it?
Starting from Confluence 5.8 there are sticky table headings in view mode, but they have some limitations.
As an alternative you can use Table Filter and Charts add-on. Table Filter has an option (Fit table to screen area) to freeze the first row and make table scrollable.
is it also possible to freeze first column of the table? The above worked for me to freeze top row heading but I also need the first 2 columns to be frozen, hope there is a way to do that
Yes, you can freeze the first 2 columns with Table Filter freeze first N columns option.
I don't see that option in my Table filter --> Table View
and also I can see only option for Show N rows which I entered 3, and saved . It doesn't work either. Pls help. I mainly looking to freeze first 2 columns .
Hi,
Is there a way to freeze the top row of a table in edit mode, if you are running Confluence Cloud?
Thanks!

Hi Rusty,
I'm sure there is no workaround for Confluence Cloud.
Ok. Thanks for the info, Andrey.
Hi All,
The feature isn't available at this moment and there's a feature request where you can provide your ideas in the comment section and vote here: Freeze top line of tables.
The request isn't new but requires more inputs and votes in order to get the developer's attention and to put this on the roadmap.
Cheers,

Added my vote to the feature request.
Hi, @Andrey Khaneev _StiltSoft_
Same question as Rusty but for Confluence Server. Is it possible to freeze rows or columns in the edition mode ?This is necessary, to work with long tables and to insert data.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi there!
Adding to the existing quality answers with today's functionality in Cloud:
Confluence Cloud automatically supports sticky headers in edit mode. See more under the "Tables" section on Formatting Your Page from our Cloud documentation:
"When you have large tables with many rows, the header row becomes sticky and doesn't scroll out of view when editing the page or viewing the page. This doesn't work, however, if you've merged several rows to create a bigger header row.
"When you have large tables with many rows, the header row becomes sticky and doesn't scroll out of view when editing the page or viewing the page.
This doesn't work, however, if you've merged several rows to create a bigger header row.
The previously linked open Cloud feature request Freeze top line of tables is a great place to capture any further feedback on what you'd like to see beyond what's available today.
To echo what's been shared about self-hosted Confluence, this includes support of sticky headers, but in view mode (doc at "Sticky table headers in view mode" from our Tables) with named situations where headers would not stick.
Any additional comments on our self-hosted functionality can be added to Table header with heading column not sticky when scrolling, which is on our team's long-term roadmap and where updates and improvements will be posted. Thank you!
