Confluence 2.9 Documentation

Index

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 you can attach files to any page. Here's how.

Go to the 'Attachments' view for the page. To do this:

  • Go to a page in the space, open the 'Tools' menu and select 'Attachments'. The 'Attachments' view will open.

From this view, you can start attaching files to the page.

Once you attach a file, you can then provide a link to it from a Confluence page.

When a user clicks on the link, the attachment will open, so long as the user has the software application needed to open the attachment.

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

If you attach a file with the same name as an existing attachment, Confluence will create a new version of the existing attachment.
