If you do go full width, it forces all tables to also go full width which is less than ideal though.

body: this is still stupid and tables inside layouts have scroll bars.... you also can't adjust the width of any table... it's either center or 100%.

body: Thank you for the candor and use of unintuitive!


author: Koel Das
body: Still in the centre of the page :( I'd appreciate to be able to align it to the left of the page


author: Peter Simon
body: I'll add another "same here". Would like to be able to left align the whole page.


author: Alexis
body: Why don't we get answer from confluence?!

That doesn't make any sense, 50% of the width isn't used!


author: Peter Balon
body: Same problem here, - new cloud Confluence instance -

The tables start to scroll sideways even there is space left, very inconvenient.

Do anyone has a solution?


author: Mario W?spi
body: Same Problem here... Atlassian any help from you guys??


author: paul.clenahan
body: I'll add another "same here". Would like to be able to left align the whole page.


author: Patrick Escarcega
body: Same here, is there a solution to this problem??


author: carlosinvision
body: Same here, I'd like to know how to align the pages left.


author: AleSSBT
body: Same here! why it is not possible to align a table or text?


author: Brent Duran
body: Same here - we need the ability to left-, center-, or right-justify the page. Not just either be centered OR full-width. It makes no sense to restrict page centering as it is now.


author: Gareth Monk
body: Same here. I can see a cloud instance bought a while ago where all content is left-aligned, but after setting up a new instance to demo to our department head, everything is center aligned and wide tables with a centered paragraph above and below looks...rubbish.

I'm almost embarrassed to demo this and I'm currently looking at alternatives.


author: Philip Barrett
body: Same problem here...


author: Bill Bailey
body: Are you talking about being centered in a browser window? They way nearly all web content is now?

comments: author: paul.clenahan
body: The issue for me is that we are not effectively able to use the screen-width. For example, I frequently have tables embedded in my page. Tables are an easy way to present information in a very consumable way. I also find I have to make the tables wider since I have 5+ columns, some with "comments" type content.

So you end up with a page that looks very strange with narrow content, then wide content (tables), then narrow content. All center aligned.

I'd like to have control over the width of the page, and how my content is aligned.


author: Aaron
body: very little web content is centred where there is also a left hand nav that is separately left aligned, and other elements on the page which are full width (ie. comments)


author: Ed Lazor
body: Agreed, the whole page should be left aligned and then allow you to configure whether the page is fixed width, wider, or full page width. It's odd having a big gap between the page and the left nav.


author: Jose Solorio
body: [@Nathan Nguy?n](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2764438) This is also happening to me but I was able to find a workaround: If you have any confluence pages that were created using the old legacy template, just clone one of those and copy-paste your page contents to that and save it and just never convert it to the new layout if the popup box asks you to convert it. Worked for me.


author: Alex Atkinson
body: Same here... Atlassian will build a V2 Confluence before fixing the basic problems with this one. :/


author: Chris Johnson
body: This is exactly the same issue I have here why waste the layout and have blank space! Ideally this should be user configurable!


author: Allison McGuire
body: I would also like to know how to remedy this. It is not ideal of pages with lots of information and tables.


author: XineBBSA
body: I've got the same problem. Table is very narrow and centered. Doesn't look very nice and isn't very useful.

A simple 'left justify' button would be ideal, but the 'Full width' option does seem to work in some situations.


author: Rob Gilliam
body: Here's what I'm doing:

* Full-width the page
* Add either a 2-column or right-sidebar layout
* Put table in left-hand column

Not ideal, and an option just to left-justify the whole page would be far easier!
