How do you embed a page attachment back onto the page (which is listed in the attachments view).

[Jonathan Smith]

If a user removes an attachment from a page and publishes it, the attachment is still saved in the page's attachments.

Is there a way to embed the file back onto the page?

• Showing the entire attachments macro is not the answer.
• Downloading and uploading the file may not be the answer because the file in question is a Gliffy attachment. The user tried to download it and then dragged and dropped it - which didn't work.

Apologies if this is an easy or already asked question.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hey @Jonathan Smith,

The new cloud editor in Confluence falls short of some features the former editor was offering, but for some topics, workarounds exist. So, in general, it's a good idea to look at the cloud editor roadmap for an overview of actual tasks you want to perform: Confluence Cloud editor roadmap 

On that page, they link to a workaround on how to link to different things but also attachments: Insert links - Attachments 

I hope that helps already. :) 

Best, Max

I do hope some day that Confluence's file management becomes on par with SharePoint. For now, I'll have the users download and re-upload the file onto the page if they need something embedded.

Thank you for the response!

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hey @Jonathan Smith ! 

Specific to Gliffy, if the diagram attachment is a .gliffy file, you should be able to re-import the diagram to get it properly embedded back on the page.

Let me know if you're still stuck? :)
