How to Add a Table of Contents in Confluence (Long Requirement Pages)
Add a table of contents to a long Confluence page in a few seconds. Confluence builds it from your headings, and readers click a heading to jump straight to it.
Step by step
Why a contents list
- Table of contents. Long pages are hard to read. A table of contents at the top lets readers jump straight to the part they need. Confluence builds it for you, from your headings.
- Use headings. It works from headings. This page has four of them. Goal, scope, out of scope, and people.
Add it
- Edit. Click edit.
- Slash command. The list goes near the top. Click in the opening line, press end to jump to the end of it, and press enter for a new line. Now type a slash, and table of contents. Press enter. Confluence lists every heading on the page, in order. Here it is. Add or rename a heading later, and the list updates by itself.
- Update. Click update.
Use it
- Jump to a part. Now the page starts with a list of its parts. Click a heading in the list. Out of scope. And the page jumps straight to that part. No scrolling, no hunting.
Recap
- Headings, slash, update. So, give your page clear headings. Type a slash and table of contents near the top, and update. Readers click a heading to jump to it. Subscribe for more Confluence tips for business analysts.
