Nesting tables are unsupported

As we're working through this feature and others, we wanted to address a lot of your concerns as to the future of the new editor and legacy editor.

To be clear on what’s been done, previously in Confluence Cloud, you could place tables inside lists, block quotes, and other tables, we call these “nested tables”. We disabled the ability to create new nested tables. Your existing pages with nested tables are safe and you can still modify these existing nested tables (edit cells, add/remove rows/columns, etc). You just won't be able to create new ones.

As to why we have made this change, there are several reasons:

• Less than 1% of pages have these nested tables showing there are other ways to get the message across.
• Nested tables are a huge source of complexity which results in a less reliable editor.
• Nested tables make pages harder to read, especially on mobile devices.

As part of our broader efforts to create a reliable, predictable, stable, and expressive editor, we have made this change.
