What functionality is going away?

Question

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: View File Macro

This page says the View File Macro is going away, and refers to a page about the better way to insert Office docs. But that method only works when the confluence-view-file-macro is enabled. What's actually going away? Are there multiple macros being called View File?

So the View File Macro (confluence-view-file-macro) is not going away?

Hi Jason,

Just the way that used to work is being deprecated. Previously, you had to attach the file, insert a specific macro and then select the file to be rendered.

Now you don't need to that. You just need to attach it to a page and Confluence will render the thumbnail.
