Long Confluence pages need structure. When your documentation runs past ten headings, readers lose track of where they are. Numbered headings — like "1. Introduction", "1.1 Background", "2. Methods" — give every section a clear position in the hierarchy. Technical docs, legal documents, SOPs, and compliance reports all rely on them.

Confluence doesn't number headings out of the box. A handful of marketplace apps fill this gap, but the market is small — Appfire's **Numbered Headings** dominates with 5,484 installs. We built **Modern Numbered Headings for Confluence** to bring a fresh approach with live preview, one-click TOC insertion, and five numbering styles. In this post we compare it against the alternatives.
