DISPLAY
Full screen mode
Give readers a larger, focused workspace for the same table without making the Confluence page itself wider. It is ideal for dense reports, wide columns, and longer review sessions.
Enable full screen for the right table
The embedded table remains the starting point. Full screen gives readers more room when they need it, without changing the page or the table configuration.
- 1
Open Display settings
Edit the macro and open Display in the table setup.
- 2
Find Viewer actions
In the Viewer actions group, enable Full screen. The option is off by default for new tables.
- 3
Save the macro
Save or publish the page. The table then shows an action that readers can use to open the larger view.
- 4
Review in a focused view
Readers open the full-screen action when they need more horizontal or vertical space, and return to the Confluence page afterwards.
Tip
Full screen is a viewer action, not a separate table or an export. Enable it when readers benefit from more space; keep it off when the embedded view is already easy to use.
Example: review a wide operations report
An operations table contains owner, status, region, dates, cost, and notes.
- On the page
- Keep a concise embedded table so the report, its context, and its decisions remain readable together. Readers can inspect the essential columns without leaving the page flow.
- During investigation
- Open full screen when owners, status, region, dates, cost, and notes need to be compared at once. Search, filters, and sorting remain available in the larger view.
- Result
- The page stays clear for a quick overview while detailed review gets the horizontal and vertical room it needs. The data source and saved table configuration remain the same.
What full screen changes—and what it does not
Full screen gives the same table and its existing settings more space.
Viewer setting
It is an explicit Viewer actions setting and is disabled by default.
Same table
It opens the existing table in a larger focused view; it does not create a new data source, duplicate the table, or change its saved configuration.
Prepare the view
Full screen adds room for inspection. It does not replace configuring column visibility, sizing, filtering, or sorting for the table itself.
