How To Freeze Top Row In Confluence Table

Use this interactive demo to learn how to keep the header row visible while scrolling a Confluence table.

Quick summary

Freezing the top row in a Confluence table keeps your header row locked in place as readers scroll through long data sets. In Confluence, the first row of any table is automatically treated as a frozen header once the page is published or updated.


Steps

  1. Type /table on your Confluence page and select "Table" from the slash-command menu to insert a new table.
  2. Enter your column headers in the first row — this row automatically becomes the frozen header when the page is published.
  3. Add your content in the rows below the header row.
  4. Click "Publish" or "Update" to save the page — the top row will stay fixed while readers scroll through the table.

📌 Why this matters

Freezing the top row in a Confluence table solves a common pain point for teams managing large data sets in their wiki: without a locked header, column labels disappear as users scroll, making tables hard to read and reference. Confluence's built-in frozen header feature requires no plugins or custom formatting — the first row is automatically pinned when the page is published. This makes it significantly easier for teams to maintain readable, scannable tables in their Confluence knowledge base. For organizations relying on Confluence for documentation, project tracking, or reporting, frozen table headers directly improve data clarity and reduce navigation friction.
