Upload a file/image
There are many ways to attach a file to a page.
In the editor you can:
- Drag the file directly onto the page.
- Go to Insert > Files and images and upload a file.
When viewing a page you can:
- Drag the file directly onto the page.
- Go to
> Attachments and upload a file.
You can attach multiple files at a time.
Insert a file into your page
There's a few ways to insert a file into your page:
- Go to Insert > Files on the editor toolbar and select any of the previously uploaded files, or
- Drag the file directly into the editor (this will upload and insert the file in one step), or
- Type ! and choose an attached file from the autocomplete drop down.
Your file will appear on your page as a thumbnail. Click the thumbnail to resize it or to switch to showing the file as a link.
File versions
If you upload a file with the same name as an existing attachment on the same page, Confluence will overwrite the existing attachment. Version history is kept for all attachments. See Manage Files to find out more.
Any changes you make to the source file will not affect the copy that was uploaded to Confluence. To update the Confluence copy, you need to upload the new version of the file.
Preview a file
Click an image, file thumbnail or link when viewing a page to launch the preview.
The preview includes images from the web that are displayed on the page and files that are attached to the page (even if they are not currently displayed on the page).
In the preview you can:
- Download the image file.
- Upload a new version of the file (attached files only).
- Comment on the file.
- Zoom in, out or fit the image to the width of your browser.
- Browse like a slideshow using the next and back buttons.
- See other files attached to the page and select a thumbnail to preview that file.
- Switch to a full screen presentation mode.
Many file types can be previewed, including Office files, PDFs and many image types.
