Pagination
Browse a long table in manageable pages without removing data from the view.
FORMATTING
Simple Tables shows pagination automatically below the table when the current result contains more rows than fit on one page. Smaller results remain a single table.
The view starts with 10 rows per page. Readers can choose 10, 20, 50, or 100 rows from the controls, then move to the first, previous, next, or last page.
Pagination follows the current result
The controls apply to the rows currently present in the table. Filtering can reduce the number of pages, but it does not alter the source data or saved settings.
Pagination limits how many rows render per page. Table height instead limits the visible area of the table.
Browse a long table
The controls appear below the table only when more than one page is available.
Find the pagination bar
Scroll to the bottom of the table. If the current result has more rows than the selected page size, pagination appears there.
Move between pages
Use the first, previous, next, or last page buttons. The range also tells you which rows are currently visible.
Adjust rows per page
Choose 10, 20, 50, or 100 from Rows per page. The table returns to the first page at the new size.
TIP
Rows per page is a local reader choice. It is not saved in the table configuration and does not change the view for other readers.
What pagination does not do
- There is no editor toggle to turn pagination on or off for every reader.
- It does not remove, edit, or export data differently; it only divides the current view into pages.
- When the current result has no more rows than the selected page size, the pagination bar does not appear.
Example: review a large project register
A delivery team manages hundreds of project entries in Confluence.
- Before
- Team members would need to work through a very long result list to check owners, status, and next steps.
- With pagination
- The list starts in pages of 10 rows. For a quick overview, one reader changes to 50; for detailed review, they move page by page through the filtered result.
