If I upload a file to the page with new editor format, it shows as a thumbnail, not a URL. I want to show the URL instead. the old page editor allowed me to show an embedded file as a URL link instead. How do I do that on the new page editor?
Hi @jemm1
You can't currently do that unfortunately. There is an open suggestion here https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65302 which you can vote and watch
However, the workaround you can do is this:
Let me know if that helps.
I think when you disable attachment preview (there is one system plugin), but you should test it can by file type or not.
Or you can add link , not attachment in page content (It's another suggestion)
@[deleted]disabling system plugins works for server and not for cloud.
Neither of these options work - very sad on the quality of the product team for Confluence Cloud - they remove function available in the old page editor and don't provide the equivalent in the new page editor. They've reduced the value of the product considerably again
If you use the old page editor everything works fine for links, attachments, tables, plugins and more
the only problem with the old page editor is the Confluence mobile app no longer supports it
use the old page editor for many reasons which has more capabilities than the new page editor. the only restriction is the old page editor is not supported by the Confluence mobile app for edit. You can view all old page editor pages perfectly in Chrome on any mobile device
You can use pdf to URL hosting to get the PDF URL—just drag and drop your file there. Then, simply use an <a> tag to insert the link into your page. Hope this helps!

tomcom tang, we’ve removed an external link that led to a file-upload site, as we can’t verify its safety. Please avoid sharing third-party upload or conversion links on Community for security reasons. You’re welcome to describe your solution instead—thanks for understanding!
