How do I resize the table in cloud?

[Valeryia Savitskaya]

Cloud inserts the table that takes the whole width of the page

while i need to insert a small table (something that could take 1/3 of the width of the page for example).

I have a page with lots of tables and the size of them resets every time i edit a page. Do you know how to avoid that?

You can restrict the table width by adding a page divider control. You can add the table to one section only and then it will be as wide only as that section.

Sometimes a table gets too wide when adding columns to it and a horizontal scroll bar appears. This does not get fixed when saving the page.

I found that when I move this table to a divided screen portion, it will resize it to the width of that part. I can play with the column width here. 

Then I copy the table back to an undivided screen and alas! It is back to normal screen width without the horizontal scroll.

Voting for this as well. It is very cumbersome/limiting not to be able to resize tables.

Hello Valeryia,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Since the new editor was released, when we add tables on a page there is no option to add a custom width. It's possible to change the size of the columns, but not the entire table.

There is a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:

• Set custom widths in tables

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates about the feature.

Regards,
Angélica

Any update on this? 
It's 2022 almost 2023 now... it seems to be still an issue...
