Floating Table of Contents Macro for Confluence
We have two addons that both provides Floating Table of Contents for the content on pages or blogs. The essential difference for the two addons is:
Easy Heading Macro is a Macro for user to insert into individual page/blog that give the Floating Table of Contents for that page/blog in only Display mode
Easy Heading Navigation is to provide a Navigation View functionality (simliar to MS word doc, user can turn on/off) for any page/blog for each Space in both Display mode and Edit mode
Easy Heading Navigation is not upgrade/pro/premium version for the Easy Heading Macro. In some cases you might only need the Macro for only a few pages. Though the Navigation Plugin can automatically share style and default settings to Macros if you installed both of them, they have simliar function but in completely different usage.
Please note that we don’t have a plan for developing a cloud version for Easy Heading Navigation.
