Table Header Wizard for Confluence
One-click vertical table headers and fit-to-content columns for Confluence Cloud.
Table Header Wizard fixes wide Confluence Cloud tables by rotating long headers and fitting columns to their content.
Use it when normal horizontal table headers force readers to scroll sideways or waste page width.
How to rotate Confluence table headers
Install Table Header Wizard from the Atlassian Marketplace, edit a Confluence page or Live Doc, then open the wizard from the table controls.
Choose vertical headers for the columns that need less width, apply fit-to-content sizing, and save the page when the table is readable.
