Attaching Files to a Page

Added by Vidya Madabushi, last edited by Vidya Madabushi on Nov 24, 2005  (view change)

When you attach a file to a page, Confluence makes a copy of it and stores it on the server. File attachments in Confluence are contained in the 'Attachments' tab of a page.

To attach a file, you require 'Create Attachments' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space Permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.

To attach a file to a page,

  1. Go to the page and click on the 'Attachments' tab.

  2. Browse through your files and select the file you'd like to attach.

  3. Enter a description for the attachment in the 'Comment' text field (optional).

  4. Click 'Attach more files' if required.

  5. Click 'Attach File'.

Attachment Versioning

If you upload a file with the same name as an existing attachment, Confluence will rename the old file and maintain a version of it on the server.

Handy Hint

Changes you make to the original file after you've attached it don't affect the copy in Confluence. To update the content of the file, you will need to upload a new version.
