Update a document in confluence with word file

[Jonathan Brotto]

Is there a way to update a document in confluence with a Word file? I created the page in the first place with a Word file but don't see the option when I click the (...) button.

@Jonathan Brotto Once you import the Word document to create the page, it is now just a Confluence page—detached from its original source Word file—and you can modify it as you would if you simply wrote the content in Confluence to begin with.

I would say that your best bet would be to copy changes from the updated Word file and paste them into the Confluence page as needed. 

If you have a copy of the original file, you could do a Compare in Word to identify all the changes made.

Hi, @Jonathan Brotto - I think this article explains the steps to take!

There is no existing option for a current document on confluence to update. I would only need to add a section from the original document.
