Style Tables

On the Styles tab, you can define how tables will be formatted in your exports.

Apply Table Styles

In the Tables section of the template editor panel, you can define the default styling for the tables in your Confluence pages via the Default Table style. Additionally, you can also create custom table styles that can be used in the Document Sections and/or applied to specific tables on your Confluence page(s) using the Scroll Table Layout macro.

When you export Confluence table content, it will be styled in accordance with the styles configured on this screen. For example, if you change the background color to red for table body cells, all corresponding cells will display a red background when exported from Confluence:

The inbuilt template editor contains a Preview section which offers a live view for your chosen styling choices – these automatically appear as you make edits.
