In the new editor, is there any way to left justify the page title?

[Jeff Hiller]

As a new subscriber, i'm being asked to automatically use the new page editor.

When I create a page, it forces me into center justified, portrait mode creation.

The page title is indented to a 1/3 of the page width along with the creation of the first set of text data.   

This results in a page with a tremendous amount of white space in the left column.  

I think this was done for page resizing or for mobile?  it only left justifies when you shrink to mobile

Compare to the old editor, which was 'tuned' to left justification and landscape mode, the resulting pages do not render well on desktop and look odd. 

In the new editor , is there any way to 1) left justify the page title?    2) Start with a single, left justified block of text?       OR    3) go back to the old editor (that I was just using 2 weeks ago that worked fine)
thanks

We have been just coping old pages with the old editor for all new pages.  That way we don't have to use the new editor.   And the just plain moronic page width.   The H1 is still messed up but at least the page content can be wider.  also "full width" is a lie.

thanks this is helpful.

using the copy page does allow us to use the old editor, which is nice and it allows us to default to landscape mode.   

The page title piece (H1) is still embarrassingly bad.   Defaulting to being practically in the center of the screen is terrible. 

As my Atlassian admin, I'm getting pinged by my team about changing back to the old config as if this was something that I did!   The mix of old and new pages is so wonky.

I share your frustration, i get similar "friendly" comments from our users.  I have no answer to give them as to why they did it so i'm left in a super awkward position. 

Its a very annoying situation confluence is putting its users in here i really lack to see the logic in the layout change + the manner of roll out.  I mean we MVP our software features to our users all the time but this seems like more of a WTF roll out.  It would be great to see the header fixed on old pages, as well as allowing new pages to be actually full screen so at least visually the can be consistent... and useful.  

Sadly the only option i seem to have is to copy old pages and live with the regret of our decision to transition to the cloud.... that i pushed for... like a moron.
