Some issues with the new editor

For technical documents, my company primarily uses legacy editor. These are 2 main issues I have with the new editor when formatting our documents.

  1. In the new editor, currently only two images can be next to each other (using "wrap left"). If a third is added, it will look something like this: O OO

    There is no way to add a space between the 2nd and 3rd image, and there's no way to remove the space between the 1st and 2nd image. This inconsistency will cause issues in my company's pages once we are forced to move from the legacy editor. 

    I use images as icons to link to documents I've uploaded to Confluence, and usually (with legacy editor) I have multiple images on a line. It would be great if we were able to freely move images like we could in the legacy editor, so image formatting wouldn't be so restrictive and non-user friendly.

  2. Please please please bring back the "Edit link" pop-up menu from legacy editor. Currently, you are unable to search for a file that has been uploaded to Confluence on the new editor, and instead have to copy the link and attach to the image. This is an issue, as when the icon is clicked, it then takes the viewer to the attachments page the document is from, instead of staying on the icon page.

    With the legacy editor, using the "search" feature in the edit link menu, I could search for the document, link it to the icon, and when someone were to open the icon link, the document preview would open up on the icon page without moving to the attachments page. This is essential for our workflow, as it also allows the viewer to either close the document and open another one easily, or use the forward/back buttons on the previewer to move to another document linked to the icon page.

 

These are the main issues I have with the new editor, and unfortunately unless these are fixed/implemented, I will have to completely revamp my document system with a less user-friendly formatting :(

Hi @Amber Hardiman 

Three images side by side like this?

Just use layouts (columns) and place one image into each.

Then just continue with your normal page format.

Thanks for the reply, Kristian.

I've tried this (as well as tables) and it works, though the spaces between images are a bit too wide even when shrinking the columns (the images that I use are only about 150x150) and everything is centered on the page (it would be better if we could move columns to the left/right).

I just feel like simple image formatting shouldn't need a work around.
