Lock Header Row in New Editing Experience

[Gina Nace]

This seems like a simple formatting ask, but I can't seem a way to make it work. Is there anyway to lock the header row of a table in the new editing experience?

Hi @Gina Nace ,

You can freeze first N rows/columns with the help of the Table Filter macro of the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

Wrap your table with Table Filter, switch to the Table View tab, specify the number of rows in Freeze first N rows  box.

My entire header how is not freezing in view mode - only in edit mode. I must be missing something.

Hello @Gina Nace ,

Please try to set Table height as we have 600рх by default.
It can lead to the behaviour you have in the page view mode.

Best regards,
Katerina

@Katerina

Does "Freeze first N columns" give a similar behavior to columns?

How can I turn "responsive" behavior off for a specific column(s)?

Hi @ecoea,

Yes, it does.

Read this thread regarding the table width.

Thanks.

It is annoying to see a column with short content on with wide emptiness, and just next to it a column full of text but squeezed vertically spanned into many pages but with a narrow width.

It is good to have a fit-all to auto-sizing feature (i.e. Confluence Cloud), but there should be optional controls given to users on the formatting.

Another way to solve it without any other app is by selecting the table, click in "Table options" and selecting "Header Row":
