Is there a new problem with rendering images in Confluence pages?

[Abhay Patil]

UPDATE: With latest Microsoft Edge browser update (build# 140) the Confluence pages are failing to display images. Clearing cookies, cache, history doesn't help. Problem exists in InPrivate browsing also.

OS: Windows 11
Edge: Version 140.0.3485.54 (Official build) (64-bit)

Chrome shows pages and images alright.

Today I am seeing pages with small images showing "preview unavailable" message. When I check attachments, they are good. This is a serious issue. Is this a new problem?

Attaching the message displayed when the page is rendered.

Alas, someone from Atlassian could have shared the following recommended workaround for Edge - or at least pointed us to this status page. I added the exception for our site, and it worked.

• Switch your tracking prevention settings from 'Strict' to the 'Balanced (Recommended)' mode in Edge.
• Alternatively, add an 'Exception' for the URL you use to access Atlassian products.

I am seeing the same on OS X Running Chrome

Version 139.0.7258.157 (Official Build) (arm64)

@Abhay Patil This is an active incident that Atlassian is working to resolve (hopefully before my Edge gets updated to this version).

If you check the Atlassian Status page, you can monitor the progress (or subscribe to get updates by email).

We can confirm this problem with Edge version 140.0.3485.54 and Atlassian Jira Cloud.

Windows 11 latest Edge browser not rendering images in Confluence has been posted. Waiting for the resolution.

Hi @Abhay Patil,

This usually happens if the images were pasted directly from somewhere else instead of uploaded as attachments in Confluence. When that happens, the link to the image can break and you’ll see the “Preview unavailable” message.

A couple of things you can try:

• Clear your browser cache or do a hard refresh – sometimes that fixes it.
• Re-upload the image using the Attachment option in Confluence (instead of pasting), which makes it more reliable.

If others can see the images but you can’t, it’s very likely a cache/browser issue on your side.

Hope this helps!

Actually this appears to be a problem with the latest upgrade of Edge browser.
The images are indeed attachments, and I confirmed that they render alright in Chrome. I will now try to go back to an older version of Edge and retry.
