How can we reference and use images from one page, on another, in Cloud Editor?

[Norman Cates]

Moving from Server to Cloud.

Another possibly horrifying discovery about something crippled in Cloud Editor.

I want to set up a common images page that we can use as a single source.

In Server we could add images / attachments to a page, then use the Add Image button in the editor to get a box that would let us import images, link to a URL or reference images on another page.

This lets us keep images with one source of truth. And ALSO, if the image needs changing (assuming it stays the same size) we can just upload a replacement to the reference page, and all the other pages receive the update automatically.

I cannot see how to do this in Cloud. The insert image option is now a tiny box with two options.

I came across a post in the Community forums that seem to indicate that it might be not possible in cloud.

Which if true, would be another incomprehensible decision on the part of Atlassian.

Copying images across every page that uses it is the OPPOSITE of what HTML was designed to do, and certainly the opposite of a knowledge management system that Confluence is supposed to be.
