Space Attachments Macro

Add the Space Attachments macro to a page to display a list of all files attached to pages in the current space, or another space. 

This is great for:

  • design assets
  • frequently used files, like forms
  • image libraries.

It shows details of the file and the includes a link to the page the file is attached to. Filter the list by label or file extension to find the file you're looking for more easily.
