## **What is in the beta release**?

In the beta release, you can enhance the first native Confluence table in the Native Table Enhancer macro body for custom views and data analysis.

### **Beta limitations**

- The Native Table Enhancer macro does not support:
  - Attachments
  - Data profiles
  - External URLs
  - Multiple tables:
    - If the macro body contains more than one top-level Confluence table, the first table is used for configuration and enhanced rendering.
    - Additional tables in the macro are not enhanced and are not rendered when the Confluence page is published. We recommend including only one native Confluence table in the Native Table Enhancer macro.
- The macro supports only plain text. It converts each cell's content to plain text, and during conversion, the following attributes are not preserved:
  - Links
  - Images
  - Nested macros
  - Nested tables
  - @mentions

> ℹ️ If you want to import data from other sources such as CSV, Excel, JSON, and Jira work items, use the **[Advanced Table Viewer](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/1531117698)**[ ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/1531117698)**[macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/1531117698)** instead.
