Table Excerpt / Table Excerpt Include
Simple Tables supports tables that are managed centrally with Table Excerpt and reused across Confluence pages with Table Excerpt Include. Teams can keep their established authoring structure while adding search, sorting, filtering, formatting, and aggregations to the included table.
REUSE TABLES
Maintain the source table
Create and update the table on its Confluence source page through your existing Table Excerpt workflow.
Reuse the table
Place the table on the destination page with Table Excerpt Include. The reused view remains connected to the same editorial source.
Add Simple Table
Use the standard Simple Table macro with the rendered table data and configure the interactive features you need.
Publish the result
Publish the page and verify search, sorting, filtering, formatting, and aggregations in the reader view.
Which Simple Tables macro should you use?
The macro choice depends on whether the table arrives as rendered reusable content or is edited directly inside the macro body.
- Simple Table
- Recommended and supported. It enhances the table data rendered through Table Excerpt Include.
- Simple Table with Body
- Not currently supported for this workflow because it would require a Confluence table to be nested inside the macro body.
When to use a native table instead
If the table lives on one page and should be edited directly there, use Simple Table with Body. That workflow keeps the native Confluence table as the editing source.
