While importing the pages from the Old Confluence to the New Cloud Confluence platform, I am not able to fix the table width, contents, & height in an user friendly manner. Kindly guide me on how to fix this issue.

Hi @abhijit_gangully-ext ,

In the new cloud editor, you can use the table resize handle to change the width of the table. That being said, you can now set any width site and not just choose from three sizes (fixed > full width).

Within the table you can only align cell contents horizontally while there's a feature suggestion related to vertical alignment: CONFCLOUD-24453: Support for vertical alignment of table cell contents 

Btw, this handle mentioned earlier also applies to files such as images that you add to the page or within the table.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tobi

The answer is not clear to me. Please find the image below and kindly guide me how to maintain the rows and columns of the table without having any glitches. For examples, if we write any long contents and wrap the text, then the size of the table breaks. As per your previous answer, I have already done the steps that you have provided but it's not working. image.png

I would like to note that Confluence won't really support large tables. If you have too much data in the table the thing you're trying to display just won't be user friendly and probably won't operate as expected. I usually do up to 7 columns per table as everything else just isn't scannable. Potentially, an alternative could be Confluence Database 🤔

Now, regarding the question - I'm not sure what do you mean that the size of the table breaks 👀

You can set column widths when configuring the table, and as you add content to the cell, it won't extend the column width but the row height (this cannot be 'fixed'). As for column widths, you could use "Distribute columns" if that's needed.
