Full Screen Mode

Full screen mode lets users open a table in a larger, focused view. This is useful when a table has many rows, many columns, or needs more horizontal and vertical space than the Confluence page layout provides.

Quick guide

  1. Edit the table macro or import dialog.
  2. Open the Display tab in the table setup panel.
  3. Enable Full screen mode.
  4. Save or publish the page.

Tip: Enable this when users need to inspect large tables without the surrounding page content taking space.

How it works

Full screen mode is controlled from the Display panel. When it is enabled, users can switch from the embedded table view into a larger table view and then return to the page.

This setting affects the viewing experience only. It does not change the table data, configured columns, sorting, grouping, pagination, or formatting settings.

What to expect

  • Full screen mode must be enabled from the Display tab.
  • If it is not enabled, users stay with the regular embedded table view.
  • The full screen view is useful for wide tables, dense datasets, and review workflows.
  • Users can keep working with the same table features while viewing the table in a larger space.

When to enable it

  • Tables with many columns that require horizontal scanning.
  • Operational tables that users review for extended periods.
  • Datasets where users need more space for sorting, searching, grouping, or pagination.
  • Shared reports where the embedded page layout feels too constrained for detailed inspection.
Use case: Review a wide operations table

Operations Lead

Acme Co - Operations

Context and challenge:
An operations team works with a table that includes owners, statuses, dates, regions, costs, and notes. The table fits on the page, but detailed review is easier with more room.

Solution - Full screen mode:
The page editor enables Full screen mode from the Display tab so users can open the table in a larger focused view whenever they need to inspect it closely.

Impact:
Users can review wide or dense data more comfortably while keeping the original Confluence page clean and readable.

Note
Full screen mode is now an explicit Display option. Page editors decide whether the table should offer this view.
