Powerpoint deck uploaded to Confluence no longer displays the first page as a preview

Sara De Jesus

I upload all my Powerpoint presentations to Confluence.

My older presentations showed (and still show) the first slide as a preview, just as it appears in Powerpoint.

The most recent ones I've uploaded over the past few months no longer show the first slide. Instead, I get a grey "box" with the presentation title inside of it, but massively truncated.

What can I do to fix this?

Hi @Sara De Jesus ,

I'm not sure if we're talking about Confluence cloud or DC.

As for cloud, once you add PPT attachment to a page, it is usually rendered and previewed as a (smaller) card.

Once you add PPT as an attachment on current or any other page, you could use Office PowerPoint macro to embed the presentation into a page itself. (I think that works on DC as well).

Other than that, in cloud, you can also use Smart Links and which would embed the PPT into a page itself if you've stored it somewhere on the cloud (e.g. OneDrive).

If you could maybe share some screenshots of what you're currently seeing and how older pages look like, this could help us determine what might be the issue there.

Cheers,
Tobi
