Preview of Attachments in JIRA

Question

Does anyone have a way that you can preview an attachment such as Word, PDF, Excel from JIRA Software and ServiceDesk rather than downloading them? The image seem to have a preview but for instance the word doc requires to be downloaded.

I tried to search for a plugin but didn't seem to find one.

I've searched for the add-ons, but there is nothing that mentions about preview attachments, mostly are only integration to pull attachments from other software or to manage attachments, but not preview.

Thanks Angelica. I've voted for the issue. Are there any plugins that allow for this now until this is available?

Hello Danielle,

Thank you for getting in touch with Atlassian Community!
Currently, it's not possible to preview those types of files on Jira. We have a feature request suggesting the implementation of this ability:
