No option to open external links in a new tab/window

[Roger Jamieson]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Links

My Confluence version: 6.0.0

Why is there no support for allowing external links to open in a new tab or window in Confluence Cloud?

This seems like such a basic request and I've tried suggestions in a few articles but they all seem to be geared towards the server-based versions of Confluence.

Am I missing something?

Do you want the tables to stay in sync with each other? If so, then check out the excerpt and include excerpt macros. If not then copy and paste works.

Hi Cynthia,

The normal copy and paste shortcuts work, like command + c. Please refer to Working with Tables for further information.

Thanks and regards,

Ctrl+C does not work and the page you link to does not exist.

The only way that works so far is to add dummy text above and below the table, copy the text and the table, paste, then remove the dummy text from around the pasted table.

@RomanKitainik this works so well!

I've found that it's much easier to select the table for copying when the source page is in published or preview mode than when it is in edit mode. In edit mode, it behaves really strangely when you drag the mouse over it (not highlighting the selection, etc.). Hope this helps!
