Adding images to page overwrites all existing images with the same filename

[Bill Tubbs]

Suppose you want to share the results of some simulations which all produced a different plot but the filename is the same in each case (but they are different images).

If you paste each image into the page, by the end, all images will be identical to the last one pasted.

I consider this a serious bug.  This is not what I expect as a user.  The only solution is to make sure all your image file names have different names.

@Bill Tubbs That is the way the product works.  Confluence automatically versions the images for you if you upload a file with the same filename.  There is a feature request here addressing the issue you are experiencing that you can vote for.  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70518 

Until then you will need to rename the file, so it is recognized as a different file by Confluence.

That sounds like a frustrating issue — filename conflicts can definitely cause problems when managing media at scale. Using   naming conventions or automatic renaming usually helps avoid overwriting existing files. Clear systems like this make a big difference, just like well-planned upgrades do in other projects<a href="https://bathroomremodelingleaguecity.com/">Bathroom Remodeling League City</a>
