How to remove white space on the left and right side on Confluence page on iPad app?

zzhang3 July 10, 2024

 

IMG_5234.jpegI am using the Confluence Cloud app on my iPad Pro with a keyboard, and I usually work in landscape mode.

Every time I open the Confluence iPad app to read a Confluence page, I find the content is narrowed into the center with big white spaces on the left and right. Even when I enter the page in full-screen mode, the white spaces are still there.

I need to remove the white space and have the center page content displayed in full.

 

P.S.: The page looks totally fine if displayed in a laptop browser.

Hi @zzhang3 

If that page looks as it should on a laptop and differently on the confluence app, then most likely there is something wrong with the app. Usually when editing a page in confluence you have the ability to set its width. If you edit this page from the app, can you change its width?

Thanks for the reply.

If I start editing the page, the app will enter the editing mode, which the page layout is fine (without touching anything) on iPad app.

However, this page is not created by me, and I do not want to edit other person’s page.

One more thing I discovered is, if I go to my account by tapping my profile picture on the top left, and then turn off “New Page View Experience” and then restart the app, the content is able to displayed properly (in the content area only, the header - The section covers title, author, etc still have white spaces on the left and right).

Therefore, I am reasonably believe this is a bug caused by the app rather than how the page is structured by the page author.

Is here the right place to raise a bug on the app?
