With the new fabric editor it is no longer possible to add existing attachments to a page.
Referencing files from a different space and inserting files to a page without the need of re-uploading is a core feature, and its lack prevents maintainable version management.
After 2 years of an open feature request CONFCLOUD-65344 we decided to create an add-on which restores this functionality and provides additional features like inserting attachments as inline download links, supporting different display types and the ability to create a hard copy attachments from a different space.
Starting next week we are moving to a closed beta test and are looking for testers who are eager to try out the macro and give some feedback.
The new add-on tightly integrates into the confluence editor by providing 2 macros.
Custom Macro editor:
Rendered Macro with different display types
- Display Type: Choose between one of 3 different display types
- Download link: Display an inline link which can be embedded into the page to download the attachment
- Card display: The default confluence file upload preview
- Media display: Show a smart preview depending on the file type.
- A video player
- An audio player
- Support for Word and Excel
- Images
- Features:
- Reference an attachment of a different page. A referenced attachment automatically displays the current version of the files
- Quick copy attachments from a different pages to the current page
- Attachments already uploaded to a space can be displayed
- Security:
- Security by using only the absolute minimum necessary permissions.
- No attachment and file data is saved on our system
Inserting via shortcuts or the macro gallery
