An attachment is any file that is included with your page. Images, word documents, presentations, PDFs, multimedia and sound files are some examples of attachments.

Attachments are useful when you want to share information that exists in another file format.

In Confluence, attachments are contained in the 'Attachments' tab of a page.

Once you attach a file, you can then provide a link to it from the page. Clicking on the link will open up the attachment so long as you have the requisite software application to open the attachment.

In the case of image attachments, Confluence allows you to display attached images on the page.

Attaching a file with the same name as an existing attachment will create a new version of the attachment.
