Is there a way to add numbered headings on a template?

[Frank Campbell]

Trying to create a template for my team and want to # all headings w/o relying on the users adding numbering when creating a new page from template

Hi @Frank Campbell 

My Adaptavist team recently added the macro numbered heading to the Content Formatting Macros for Confluence. This macro allows making the process of adding macro more automatic and handly.  

You can try its free trial version and let me know if it helps to resolve your needs.

Hi Frank,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thank you for raising this with us. From what I understand, you want to have numbered headings in your template. 

Confluence doesn't have the native capability to apply numbered headings at the moment, but we have an open feature request related to that:

• CONFCLOUD-1732 Numbered Headings

There's also a feature request to automate page title numbering in templates that you might find interesting:

• CONFCLOUD-22704 Automatic page title formatting from page template

Various Marketplace apps support numbered headings; you can check those out below:

• Atlassian Marketplace > numbered headings apps 

I haven't used these personally, so I can't confirm if they work with templates, but you can reach out to the apps' vendors, and they can tell you more.

Take care,
