Cannot Preview attachments in new editor

We updated a legacy page to the new editor. All attachments were changed? to links (or were links before). Previously when you clicked on the links it previewed the pdf in confluence with option to download. The updated page now simply downloads the file when link is clicked and does not preview. When the files is added to the new page, by drag-drop, it displays the file as before when clicked. You also cannot insert or display existing attachments on the page through the insert macro.

What's happening? Has anyone experienced this?

@Rohan Bailey I started using Cloud after the new editor was added, so I never used the legacy editor. This article, posted on Monday, might provide some information and/or links to places where you might find the information you seek: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-articles/The-Legacy-Editor-is-being-deprecated-in-Confluence-Cloud-Here-s/ba-p/3046832

Thanks @Barbara Szczesniak ,

We are aware of the deprecation and have started updating our pages. The post shared and comments have been informative.

Let me ask you, as someone who has not used legacy, how do you insert a pre-uploaded attachment to the page being edited?
