Numbered Headings & Sections for Confluence
Number Confluence headings automatically as pages change.
Long specs and runbooks become hard to navigate and reference as they grow. Numbered Headings & Sections numbers page headings automatically, so the structure takes care of itself as the content changes.
Illustrative preview · Example data
Long pages lose their structure as they grow.
Specs, runbooks and decision records start tidy and end up as walls of headings. Referencing “the third section under deployment notes” in a comment or a meeting is nobody's idea of precision.
Manual numbering works for a week. Then someone inserts a section, the numbers drift, and the fix-it pass never quite happens.
Best for
- Technical writers
- Engineering teams
- Operations teams
- Knowledge managers
Structure that maintains itself.
Headings are numbered automatically as the page is edited, at a depth and format you configure. Apply numbering per page or across a space, and references like “see 3.2” stay true.
Three steps from setup to result.
Enable numbering on a page or space
Turn numbering on where you need it: a single runbook or every page in a space.
Choose depth and format
Configure how many heading levels are numbered and the numbering style.
Edit as normal
Numbers update as headings are added, moved or removed, no renumbering pass required.
What this app helps your team do.
Automatic numbering
Page headings are numbered as content is edited; insertions and moves stay correct.
Configurable depth and format
Choose how deep numbering goes and the format it uses.
Page or space scope
Apply numbering to a single page or across a whole space.
Limits and requirements, explained upfront.
- Confluence Cloud only.
- Numbering applies to heading styles, not body text.
- Numbering is a rendering aid; it does not change the underlying page content.
What setup and ongoing management look like.
Numbering can be enabled per page or per space, and the depth and format can be changed at any time. Configuration is stored in Forge storage inside your Atlassian tenant; uninstalling removes the configuration and the numbering display, leaving page content untouched.
