Confluence Docs 3.0 : Viewing Attachment Details This page last changed on Dec 02, 2008 by edawson. 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. Read more about attachments in the Attachments Overview. There are two places where you can view attachment details. View the attachments in a space — this will show the files/images attached to all pages in the space. View the attachments for a specific page. On this page: Viewing Attachments in a Space Viewing Attachments on a Page Attachment Details Viewing Attached Office Documents Attachment Information Icon ## Viewing Attachments in a Space To view the attachments associated with a space, Go to the 'Space Attachments' view for the current space. To do this: Go to a page in the space, open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Attachments'. The 'Space Attachments' view will open. This will display a list of all the attachments in the space. Each attachment is displayed along with its details and the page it is attached to. You can choose to view only files of a particular type: Type the last part of the file name in the 'Filter By File Extension' text field. For example, enter 'gif' to see only image files of the GIF format. Click 'Go'.

The Remove link (in the page view) lets you delete the attachment.
