Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a navigable table of contents to any Confluence page.

Quick summary

A Table of Contents in Confluence automatically generates navigation links from your page headings, making long pages easier to browse. You can insert and customize it in seconds using the slash-command menu and the Basic or Advanced settings panel.


Steps

  1. Open the Confluence page where you want to add the Table of Contents.
  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 Basic to customize the standard display settings for your table of contents.
  4. Click the Advanced tab to access additional controls such as indent headings and keyword-based heading filters.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a Table of Contents to Confluence pages is essential for teams managing long, structured documentation. It automatically generates clickable navigation from existing headings, reducing the time readers spend scrolling to find relevant sections. The built-in Basic and Advanced customization options let teams control heading depth and filtering without any manual formatting. This makes Confluence a more effective knowledge-management tool for growing teams who rely on clear, navigable internal documentation.
