How to 'Expand All' on confluence pages?

[Sam]

How can I 'expand all content' on a confluence page, vs clicking on each and every one of the expand/collapse arrows?  

I spend more time clicking to expand page sections than I spend on reading/absorbing the content of the page, which is inefficient and frustrating when trying to quickly ramp up in a new role.

Hi @Sam 

On the Feature request page, there is work around by a user "Paul streng". You might want to check on that. I am a server user , so i have not tested it so not sure if it will work.

Thanks,

Hi @Sam ,

Welcome to Atlassian community. 

If you are on confluence server then below thread has some solution for you .

• How-to-create-an-quot-Expand-All-quot-button-for-Confluence 

But looks like you are on cloud and in cloud there is no solution yet. But we do have feature request raised for the issue. You might want to vote on the same to include this feature in upcoming releases.

Have a good weekend. !

On Confluence Cloud, one workaround (for users with edit access) is to view the Edit version of the page, which expands everything. 

I tried expanding dozens of things and could not find the text that the search box told me was on the page, so I tried a number of things and finally clicking on edit shows all of the text in its expanded form.  Now I'm able to use the find feature to find what I'm looking for.

Sadly, this no longer works. 

I am also on CLOUD, and when in EDIT Mode the expands no longer open by default. 

Is this on purpose?
