There are two places in Confluence where you can view attachment details: - View the list of attachments in a space — this will show all files/images attached to all pages in the space.
- View the list of attachments for a specific page.

Viewing Attachments in a SpaceTo view the attachments associated with a space: -
Go to a page in the space and choose Browse > Attachments. This displays a list of all the attachments in the space, along with their details and the pages they are 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 box. For example, enter 'gif' to see only image files of the GIF format.
- Click Go.

Viewing and Editing Attached Files
If an attachment is an Office or PDF file, you will see a View link as shown in the screen snippet below. Furthermore, if the attachment is an Office file, it will also have an Edit link.

Click View to view the content of the Office file within Confluence.
Click Edit to edit the content of the Office file in your Office application. You must have a compatible Office application installed to do this. Refer to Working with the Office Connector for more information. When a page you are viewing contains attachments, a small paperclip icon appears next to the page byline. Clicking the paperclip will take you to the 'Attachments' view, where the full list of attachments is displayed.
