I would like to move a page attachment from one space into another (personal) space. When I assign the new page title in the attachment properties I get an error message: You cannot move the attachment to a page that does not exist. When I try to use "~<user>/<page title>" a similar error message is shown. What is the syntax to move an attachment into a different space?

How can I move an attachment into a different space?

Can the folders created by the companion app be deleted at some point?

When you edit a file in Confluence using the companion app, it appears to put a copy of the file in a new folder (uses a generated Guid for the name) in the .atlassian-companion folder in the user's profile.

Can these folders be subsequently deleted? Is there any registry settings to have the deleted automatically? Can the companion.log file be safely deleted?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Does the page in question exist already? If it does, can you please try and rebuild indexes from scratch and see if that helps? https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/Rebuild+the+Content+Indices+from+Scratch

The related documentation can be found here, but I believe you are aware of it: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Moving+an+Attachment

Kind regards,

Peter

The page exists and already has other attachments. I also can create a link to the page using "[<page title>]" on the page where the attachment currently is linked to, so I don't think it is an index issue.

Thanks for the link to the latest Confluence page. I just noticed that the latest documentation includes a hint about moving attachments into different spaces. The correct syntax for personal spaces is: "~<user>:<page title>".
