Is there a restriction option for the documents uploaded with microsoft office app add-on?

Question

We would like to add documents to confluence pages that can only be downloaded and nod edited. Since the lay-out of template documents for example is important, these documents should not be edited by co-workers.

Is there a feature to restrict the editing possibilities of uploaded documents?

Not quite.  It can be done at a space level, so you can say "Alice and Bob can attach files, but Chuck can not" (those could be individual users or groups)

But at a page level, you can only restrict edits.  If you can edit a page, you can upload attachments (i.e. edit them).  If you can't edit a page, you can't attach.

Thank you for your response!

Do you know if the 'right to attach files to a place' can be adjusted for each co-worker and page separately?

The principle is the same for all Atlassian applications.

If you have permission to upload (attach) a file to a page/issue/etc, then you have the right to edit that file.  If you want to stop people from editing attachments, you need to remove their right to attach files to that place.
