Open the controls

Use the cog icon to show or hide editing controls. With the toolbar open, each heading can show Hide controls and its heading level.

Use the H1-H6 buttons to choose how deep the outline should go.

Choose a layout

Pick the layout that matches the page: bullets for a familiar outline, nested bullets for deeper pages, numbered links for documents that need section references, or inline links for a compact jump list.

The examples below show the table of contents after the editing controls are hidden.

Use numbered headings

Numbers shown only in the outline change the table of contents display only.

Numbers saved into headings are previewed first, then added to the page after Save. Use this when reviewers need stable section numbers they can cite in comments, approvals, audits, or PDFs.

Hide headings

When the toolbar is open, use Hide next to a heading to remove it from the table of contents.

Use Show All to restore hidden headings.

Edit heading text

Use Edit to update the outline title and page heading text from one place.

These edits change the page headings, so you can review them before choosing Save or Cancel.

Autofix page headings

Autofix looks for outline problems and previews the proposed changes. For example, if the first page heading starts too low, or a subheading skips a step, the preview shows the suggested fixes before saving.

Review the suggestions, then choose Save to apply them to the page or Cancel to leave the page unchanged.

PDFs

The published table of contents is included in PDFs. Its links continue to jump to the matching sections.

Numbers saved into headings become part of the heading text after saving, so they appear anywhere the Confluence page appears.

Troubleshooting

  • If a newly added heading is missing, refresh the table of contents after saving the Confluence page changes.
  • If a preview is not what you expected, choose Cancel and adjust the page headings before trying again.
  • If you only want numbered outline links, choose numbers outside text instead of saved heading numbers.
