Atlassian Store: storage governance for enterprise teams

Keep source rows with Atlassian

• Save rows in Atlassian-hosted Forge storage, separate from page content and page attachments.
• Use the encryption and data residency capabilities of the Atlassian platform without a Simpleasyty-hosted database for table storage.
• Keep the Forge source payload out of page content and attachment exports. Rendered data remains visible to authorized viewers, and enabled table downloads remain available.

One site policy, a choice for each table

• Manage storage in Apps → Simple Tables → Settings, visible only to Confluence administrators.
• Enable Page Content, Attachment and Atlassian Store, and reorder enabled strategies to set the default.
• Editors select an allowed strategy in Store as. Existing tables keep loading from their current storage; the policy applies when they are saved again.

Confidential uses Atlassian Store

• Enabling Confidential automatically selects Atlassian Store and locks the storage choice while the label is active.
• If the administrator has not enabled Atlassian Store, the toggle is disabled and explains that the editor must contact an administrator.
• The label remains a handling signal. Confluence permissions control access; changing storage does not erase previous attachments, page history or exported copies.

Incognito protects column values in Atlassian Store

• Enabling Incognito automatically selects and locks Atlassian Store, just like Confidential. It requires an eligible static table and Atlassian Store enabled by an administrator.
• Page edit permission is checked on the server. Readers without that permission do not receive protected values, and the entire column stays out of their table. The table waits for data and permission checks instead of displaying a covering layer.
• Protection also covers columns reading the same field and dependent calculated columns. Fullscreen, filters, grouping, pivot tables, downloads, joins and Ask Rovo use only the data the viewer is allowed to access.
• Existing Incognito tables gain this protection when saved again in Atlassian Store. Earlier page versions, attachments and exported copies are unchanged.

A clearer everyday experience

• See the storage location beside pagination with a compact label.
• Consistent editor controls and scrollbars, stable table borders and rounded corners while scrolling, and no flash of Get started when opening Settings.
• Storage settings and guidance are available in English, German and Japanese.

Easier to read and navigate

• Refreshed table themes with rounded corners, subtle borders, and a more compact search and filter toolbar.
• Clearer sort direction and priority indicators, more readable nested groups, and consistent date and enum badges. New automatic enum colors use softer backgrounds; saved enum colors are preserved.
• Pagination controls adapt to narrow spaces, with clearer keyboard focus and improved screen-reader announcements.

Smoother table setup

• More consistent controls across column, display, and formatting settings, with a compact column list and clearer editor-only indicators.
• Insert a formula example with a click, read long formula previews and errors without truncation, and preview date formatting beside its selector.
• A simplified app welcome page provides guidance for both macros and direct access to documentation and support in English, German, and Japanese.

Fixes

• Large pages stay inside the table scroll area, rounded corners clip correctly, and the page-size selector remains available after choosing a size that fits all rows.
• Group and total row colors follow the selected summary background, or inherit column colors when no summary background is set.
• Improved Page Properties selectors and cleared the selected label when switching spaces.
• Removed unwanted scrolling in settings tab headers. Existing custom theme colors are preserved.

New: Join Tables

• Choose Join Simple Tables as the data source in the Simple Table macro. Browse available tables by page position and column names, inspect their previews, and select the matching column from each source.
• Use an Inner join to show matching rows only, or a Left join to keep every row from the first table and add matching data from the second.
• Combine tables created with the Simple Table macro or the Simple Table with Body macro. Existing joins can also be used as sources, with safeguards against circular references.
• Work with the combined result using normal table features, including sorting, filtering, grouping, calculated columns, and exports.

How to get started

• Publish at least two Simple Tables on the same page, then insert a Simple Table macro and choose Join Simple Tables.
• Select the left and right tables, choose their matching columns and join type, then configure the result and publish the page.
• For example, join a project table with an owner directory using a shared owner ID. Choose a Left join to keep projects even when no owner record matches.

Before you join

• Joins read the latest published source configuration. Publish changes to the source tables before expecting them in the joined result; pending page-editor changes are not included.
• Empty matching values do not match. Match values must have the same type: a number does not match the same digits stored as text. Multiple matching rows produce multiple result rows.

New and improved

• Added a Percentage number format on a 0–100 scale, with configurable decimal places and an optional progress bar beside the value.
• Added Bar color controls using the standard Confluence color picker; editors can choose a palette color or inherit the table theme accent.
• Added value-based percentage bars with editable thresholds and red, amber, and green status colors for higher-is-better or lower-is-better metrics.
• Unified Table colors, Column colors, Bar color, and Enum colors with the familiar 21-swatch Confluence color palette.
• Added conservative automatic detection of percentage and currency formats for consistent values imported from CSV, JSON, Excel, native Confluence tables, Confluence Content, and Page Properties.
• Improved the Columns editor for large tables: only one column settings panel is open at a time and its compact header stays visible while scrolling that panel.
• Added Fit content column width for sizing a column from its longest header, cell, or total value.
• Date columns now use a familiar Confluence-style date pill across imports, live Confluence data, and Simple Table with Body.
• The app interface now follows Confluence in English, German, and Japanese, with English as the fallback for other languages.

Result

• Teams can recognize financial values and progress faster, keep their original numeric values for sorting and reporting, use familiar Confluence colors, configure large tables with less scrolling friction, and work with Simple Tables in more of their preferred Confluence languages.

New in this release

• Added Confluence Content to create live tables from content found by type, space, label, text, or advanced CQL.
• Added Page Properties to collect key/value data from Page Properties macros on labelled pages in one Confluence space.
• Added explicit field selection for both integrations, so editors choose the columns that become part of the table.
• Page Properties detects native dates, statuses, numbers, and text conservatively; native statuses retain their Confluence-style appearance.
• Rebuilt the table search bar with type-aware column filters, date suggestions, ranges, empty-value checks, and grouped All/Any conditions connected by AND/OR.
• Editors can save a filtered default view and optionally hide the filter controls from readers while keeping the saved filter applied.

Improved

• Refined table-header and toolbar controls for clearer, more consistent interactions in the editor and published view.
• Added a clearer in-app notice for sites that need to update to the current major version for the latest compatibility and capabilities.

Result

• Teams can turn maintained Confluence content into live, interactive reports and give readers faster ways to find exactly the rows they need.

New in this release

• Task state updates are now explicitly permission-aware: users with Confluence edit permissions can complete and reopen Action Items, while viewers without edit access see task state as read-only.
• Added stricter validation for task interaction requests to prevent cross-item state changes when multiple identical task lists are present.
• Refined permission-aware interactions for due-date-aware Action Items so published state and visibility remain consistent with page-level access controls.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where task interactions could drift from Confluence edit permissions in some mixed-permission environments.
• Fixed task state propagation appearing to apply across tasks with duplicated local identifiers.
• Preserved TODO and DONE state integrity for repeated task columns while keeping canonical text values stable for search and sorting.

Result

• Teams can now rely on task behavior that reflects Confluence permission boundaries when using Action Items inside native tables.

New and improved

• Action Items inside native Confluence table cells now keep their interactive checkboxes in the published table.
• Preserved TODO and DONE states, mentions, due dates, links, statuses, and inline text formatting.
• Viewers who can edit the page can complete or reopen an Action Item from the published table; other viewers see its current state as read-only.
• Past due dates now use Confluence-style red text.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where Action Items could be flattened into plain text after publishing.
• Fixed repeated table headings sharing the same internal identity, which could cause one column's task, checkbox state, or date to appear in other columns.
• Ensured a checkbox update applies only to the selected Action Item.

Result

• Native task tables remain consistent between the Confluence editor and the published Simple Table with Body view, including tables that reuse the same visible heading across several columns.

Improved in this release

• Updated the in-app Trust Center destination so the Terms of Use opens from its current location in the redesigned Trust Center.
• Aligned the app with the clearer Trust Center structure for security, privacy, compliance, legal, reliability, and platform information.
• Made it easier for teams and evaluators to move from the product to the right public trust resources.

Result

• Trust and legal information is easier to discover and navigate from the Simple Tables app page, with a more consistent path into the Simpleasyty Trust Center.

New in this release

• Added support for displaying Simple Tables macros on Confluence public pages.
• Shared pages can retain their interactive table experience for visitors without requiring access to the Confluence site.

Result

• Teams can publish clearer reports, directories, plans, and other structured content while keeping the sorting, search, formatting, and readability provided by Simple Tables.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where Excel date and date-time cells could be imported as numeric serial values instead of dates.
• Preserved valid zero values when importing Excel files.

Result

• Excel files with formatted date or date-time columns are easier to import accurately, reducing the need for manual column adjustments after setup.

New and improved

• Added a Preview mode selector in the setup screen for Simple Table with Body.
• Editors can switch between the final Simple Table render and the Confluence source table stored in the macro body.
• The source preview is read-only, so users can inspect the native table without accidentally editing it in the setup screen.
• The editable source table remains in the Confluence page body, preserving the native Confluence editing workflow.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed cells that could appear blank after publishing when their value started like an ordered list item, for example 1. Must Have.
• Preserved line breaks when a native Confluence table cell contains multiple list items.

Result

• Large native Confluence tables are easier to compare against the final Simple Table output before publishing, and list-style cell values render more reliably on published pages.

New and improved

• The Docs, What's New, and Support actions in the table setup preview now open the Simple Tables app page inside Confluence instead of sending users directly to separate external pages.
• Each action opens the matching in-product tab so users can start from one central Simple Tables screen for help, release updates, and support resources.
• The in-app What's New tab now includes a clear notice that points users to the Simpleasyty website for full product announcements, major-release details, and the latest public updates.

Result

• Users get a more consistent navigation path from the macro setup experience, while release communication can still point to the public Simpleasyty website when a major release needs more detail.

New and improved

• Native Confluence content such as mentions, statuses, emojis, links, colors, and text effects is preserved more consistently where supported.
• Mentions now render closer to Confluence styling, including highlighted styling when the mentioned user is the current viewer.
• Added better support for property-style tables, where the first column contains field names and the second column contains values.
• Added clearer per-column guidance when mixed value types are detected, including when to use Use first column as field names.
• Added JSON and CSV syntax highlighting in the paste editor.
• Added a new Simple Tables entry under Apps in Confluence with quick access to Help, Use Cases, What's New, Support, documentation, Marketplace, reviews, and trust/legal resources.

Fixed in this release

• Numbers now start left-aligned by default unless a different alignment is selected.
• Fixed dropdown menus being clipped in smaller setup panels or near the bottom of the editor.
• Improved scrolling in Display, Formatting, and Columns setup sections.
• Improved Text appearance and Enum configuration layout in narrow panels.
• Full screen mode is no longer enabled by default.

Important

• Mentions are preserved visually inside Simple Table with Body, but they do not trigger Confluence native mention notifications from the macro-rendered table.

Result

• Native Confluence tables render more faithfully, setup guidance is clearer, editors get a smoother configuration experience, and users can find Simple Tables resources faster from inside Confluence.

New in this release

• Added Table Colors so editors can customize the overall table appearance with clearer visual styling options.
• Added Column Colors so individual columns can use custom header, cell, and text colors when a table needs stronger visual structure.
• Added documentation for table-level and column-level color configuration.

Result

• Teams can make important tables easier to scan, emphasize key columns, and better align table presentation with the surrounding Confluence content.

New and improved

• Added Pagination so large tables can be split into easier-to-scan pages.
• Reorganized the Display section to make table controls, viewer actions, and context options easier to find.

Fixed in this release

• Native Confluence table colors are now preserved when rendering tables through Simple Table with Body.
• Fixed an issue where native Confluence tables without a header row did not render correctly in Simple Table with Body.
• Fixed an issue where buttons and table changes in Simple Table with Body were not updated correctly after edits.
• Fixed an issue where adding a sample table for a second time could prevent it from rendering correctly.

Result

• Large tables are easier to navigate, Display settings are clearer for editors, and native Confluence table rendering is more reliable in bodied table workflows.

New in this release

• Added Pivot Tables, a new top-level configuration area for summarizing data by rows, columns, and aggregated values.
• Added Incognito mode for columns so values are shown in the normal table view only to users who can edit the Confluence page.
• Added a Confidential label option in Display, showing a red label above the table to indicate confidential content.
• Added Full screen mode as an explicit Display option that page editors can enable when users need a larger focused table view.

Formatting and display

• Added strikethrough support in Text appearance.
• Added vertical position controls for column content.
• Added text direction controls, including horizontal and vertical text display.
• Reorganized column settings to better match the actual editing flow: column details, display, aggregations, and column actions.

UI improvements

• Simplified the setup experience to reduce friction when configuring tables.
• Updated the interface to feel more integrated with Confluence and more consistent with native page editing patterns.
• Improved labels, grouping, and control placement across Display, Formatting, Columns, and Pivot Tables.

Fixes

• Fixed several bugs affecting table configuration, display behavior, and larger-table workflows.
• Improved reliability when working with dense datasets and advanced table configurations.
• Applied general stability improvements and internal cleanup.

Important

• This is a major version update. Existing installations may require a Confluence admin to update the app before all Version 6 features are available.
• The confidential label and Incognito mode are visibility features, not access control or encryption features. Use Confluence permissions for data that must be restricted.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where the Rovo button could fail to work in some supported scenarios.
• Fixed column calculations in Simple Table with Body.
• Fixed an issue where sorting with the Shift key was available but did not behave as expected.
• Fixed an issue where selecting Full content in Formatting changed the selection state but did not show the selected value in the dropdown after selection.

Result

• Rovo actions, bodied table calculations, multi-column sorting, and table height formatting now behave more consistently.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where alignment was not correctly applied when a new column was first created. Alignment is now set correctly from creation, without requiring any later change to the column.

Result

• Newly created columns now preserve the expected alignment immediately, making column behavior consistent from the start.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where a calculated column created for the first time in a table would not show results until the table was saved once. Results now appear correctly from the start.
• Fixed an issue where the Rovo button was not shown in the table preview when it should have been available.

Result

• Calculated columns now render results immediately on first creation, and the Rovo action is displayed more reliably in supported preview scenarios.

New in this release

• Added support for Rovo in Simple Table.
• Users can now access Rovo from supported table experiences when the feature is available in their Atlassian environment.
• Added documentation for Rovo availability, behavior, and expected visibility conditions.

Important

• For existing installations, a Confluence admin must update the app to the latest version to enable Rovo support.
• Rovo is only shown when it is available in the current Atlassian setup.
• Availability depends on whether Rovo is included and enabled in the instance.
• Confluence administrators may also restrict or disable access from admin settings.
• Because of this, the Rovo option may not appear in every environment.

Result

• Teams can explore table content in a more dynamic way and get faster help understanding the data already stored in Simple Table.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed an issue where 0 values could disappear in calculated columns when the result was displayed using enum-based output.
• Fixed an issue where alignment was not correctly applied when a calculated column was first created. Alignment now behaves consistently from creation, without requiring an additional edit to the column.

Result

• Calculated columns now display zero values correctly in enum scenarios and apply alignment more consistently from the moment the column is created.

New in this release

• Expanded support for calculated column expressions across aggregation, math, date, string, and utility scenarios.
• Added aggregate functions including SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX(), COUNT(), and COUNT_DISTINCT().
• Added math functions such as ROUND(), ABS(), FLOOR(), CEIL(), and SQRT().
• Added date functions including TODAY(), DAY(), MONTH(), YEAR(), QUARTER(), and DAYS_TO().
• Added string functions including LEFT(), RIGHT(), MID(), BEFORE(), and AFTER().
• Added NUM() to support normalization of locale-formatted and currency-formatted values in expressions.
• Improved aggregate expression performance by evaluating shared aggregates once per render.

Result

• Teams can now build richer calculated fields for progress tracking, status generation, operational reporting, and data preparation without leaving Confluence.

Improvements

• Updated cell padding to better match native Confluence tables, reducing visual friction and ensuring a more consistent experience across pages and teams.
• Footer calculation indicators (SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc.) are now left-aligned by default in numeric columns, improving scanability when working with large datasets.
• Calculation indicators now follow column alignment settings, delivering consistent and predictable rendering across different table configurations.

Fixes

• Fixed inconsistencies in table spacing compared to native Confluence tables.
• Resolved edge cases affecting footer calculation alignment in numeric columns.

Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed an issue where display text containing brackets could result in duplicated brackets when rendering links.
• Link display text is now treated literally, ensuring correct rendering in all cases.
• Minor internal adjustments to improve link parsing reliability.

• Added automatic enum detection when repeated values are dominant and the number of distinct values remains low.
• Added support for custom enum options not present in the original source data.
• Introduced the Mode aggregation in both Grouping and Footer aggregations, shown only when calculation is possible.

Formatting

• Renamed the Themes tab to Formatting.
• Combined Layout & Density into a single dropdown for faster configuration.
• Added a new Table height setting with four options: Small, Medium, Large, and Full content.

Fixes & Improvements

• Added logic to detect and handle incorrectly assigned MIME types from Confluence so affected files now load correctly.
• Improved internal handling to reduce the likelihood of similar issues in future.

Fixes & Improvements

• Added support for localized date formatting inside the Simple Table macro.
• Improved attachment handling so pathToFile is respected and JSON keys containing dots are correctly escaped.
• Improved number rendering in the bodied macro for German-language Confluence instances, including formats such as 1.987,65.

• Added contextual guidance to simplify setup for the Simple Table Bodied macro.
• Fixed a display issue where the default image was missing in this macro type.

Fixes & Improvements

• Added new icons for feedback and documentation access.
• Improved the paste workflow to prevent empty previews.
• Added a tooltip for the calculated-column icon.
• Updated the bodied macro placeholder with clearer usage guidance.
