Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a navigable index to any Confluence page.

Quick summary

Adding an index to a Confluence page uses the built-in Table of Contents macro to auto-generate a clickable, heading-based navigation structure. You can customize heading levels and filters through Basic and Advanced settings to control exactly what appears in the index.


Steps

  1. Open the Confluence page where you want to insert the index.
  2. Type /table of contents anywhere on the page, then select it from the menu to insert the macro.
  3. In the right-side panel, select the Basic tab to customize the basic settings of the Table of Contents macro.
  4. Click the Advanced tab to set indent headings and apply keyword filters for more granular control over the index.

📌 Why this matters

A well-structured Confluence page index dramatically improves navigation and content discoverability for teams managing large wiki spaces. Using the Table of Contents macro, Confluence users can automatically generate a heading-based index without manual formatting, saving time and reducing errors. Customizable Basic and Advanced settings let teams control heading depth and keyword filters, making the index relevant to any documentation structure. This capability is essential for knowledge bases, project wikis, and internal documentation that need to scale with growing teams.
