Cloud inserts the table that takes the whole width of the page

while i need to insert a small table (something that could take 1/3 of the width of the page for example).

I have a page with lots of tables and the size of them resets every time i edit a page. Do you know how to avoid that?

You can restrict the table width by adding a page divider control. You can add the table to one section only and then it will be as wide only as that section.

Sometimes a table gets too wide when adding columns to it and a horizontal scroll bar appears. This does not get fixed when saving the page.

I found that when I move this table to a divided screen portion, it will resize it to the width of that part. I can play with the column width here. 

Then I copy the table back to an undivided screen and alas! It is back to normal screen width without the horizontal scroll.

Voting for this as well. It is very cumbersome/limiting not to be able to resize tables.

Hello Valeryia,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Since the new editor was released, when we add tables on a page there is no option to add a custom width. It's possible to change the size of the columns, but not the entire table.

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the feature.

Regards,
Angélica

Any update on this? 
It's 2022 almost 2023 now... it seems to be still an issue...
