Confluence - Link to an image attached to another page

Question

How do I include an image attached to one Confluence page another another ?  i.e. embedeed image in-line from another page ?

'Insert Files and Images' will let me insert an image from another page BUT IT IS NOT LINKED !!!! i.e. it creates a copy when its inserted

Is there an update? The does not seem to work; cloud 07/2025.

It seems that this should be easy to do. We don't want to proliferate copies of an image that we'll have to hunt down and replace when the image needs updating.

Yes, you can insert an image from another page, and I see it does not attach a new file, but once it has been inserted, I don't see a simple way to determine where that original image lives.  For example, if i see an image that needs to be updated, I don't see how to find the original image on the original page.

Any suggestions, @Fabienne Gerhard ?

Hi @Michael Green

if you insert an image with 'Insert Files and Images' and choose one from another page there won't be a copy created. (Have a look at the attachments of the side you are working on)

-> To get a link on this image, click on image and insert the link manually to the page. I don't think that's gonna work automatically.
