Confluence Docs 3.0 : Working with Attachments Overview 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. Attachments are useful when you want to share information that exists in another file format. In Confluence you can attach files to any page. When a page you are viewing contains attachments, a small paperclip icon like this: appears next to the page byline. Clicking the paperclip will take you to the 'Attachments View', where the full list of attachments is displayed. Here is a summary of how to attachments work in Confluence. 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. If you attach a file with the same name as an existing attachment, Confluence will create a new version of the existing attachment. Once you have attached 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. When the attachment is an Office document, you will see a 'View' link next to the attachment on the Attachments view. Click the 'View' link to view the content of the Office document within Confluence. If you have an Office application installed, you will also be able to launch your Office editor from within Confluence.
