What’s new

Version 5.1.0 is a bug fix release focused on improving the reliability of newly created calculated columns and the visibility of Rovo in table previews.

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.

Version 5.0.0 introduces Rovo support in Simple Table, giving teams a new way to explore and understand table data directly inside Confluence.

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.

Version 4.7.0 is a bug fix release focused on improving the reliability and display behavior of Calculated Columns in Simple Table for Confluence.

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.
