How To Freeze Header In Confluence Table

Use this interactive demo to learn how to pin a header row in a Confluence table while scrolling.

Quick summary

Freezing a header row in a Confluence table keeps your column labels visible as readers scroll through long pages. You can achieve a sticky header simply by inserting a table with the /table command and typing your headings in the first row — Confluence pins it automatically.


Steps

  1. Use the /table command to insert a new table on your Confluence page.
  2. Type your column headings in the first row — it will automatically be pinned as the header.
  3. Fill in the rest of your table content in the rows below the header.
  4. Hit Publish or Update — the frozen header row will remain visible as you scroll.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping a frozen header row visible in a long Confluence table is essential for readability — without it, teams lose context as they scroll through dense documentation. Confluence's built-in sticky table header feature requires zero plugins or custom code: just use the /table command, enter your headings in the first row, and publish. This makes it significantly easier for distributed teams to navigate structured data, track-row relationships, and maintain consistent knowledge bases inside Confluence. For teams managing large wikis or technical documentation, freezing table headers directly reduces scroll-and-reference friction across every page.
