How do you add files from another page?

[Shannon Engler]

With the old editor, I was able to upload all my documents for a space to a file list for that space, and when I created a new page, I could just "add Files/Images" to the new page using the uploads from the file list. That way, when I wanted to insert a new version, I could just go to the file list and upload a new version. I like this method because it tracked all of my uploads as different version.

With the new editor, I cannot find a way to search for files on other pages/spaces in Confluence. The Files & Images button only gives me the option to upload new ones, or upload the same images or files I've uploaded to a specific page (not the file list) on any pages using the new editor. Or I can use Google Drive, Giphy, or Dropbox.

Additionally, I uploaded the documents to the file list and am not able to search for them to do a simple link any more either. I click the link button and it only lets me see pages I've recently been to or I can copy and paste a link. There is no search functionality.

Am I missing a setting somewhere or is there a workaround that someone has found for this?

Hey Darin, UI issues are usually related to either incompatible add-ons or layout customizations. You may check your add-ons at Confluence Admin > Manage Add-ons > Confluence update check

Also, you can see layout customizations at Confluence Admin > Look and Feel and Space Admin > Look and Feel, then verify the following:

• Themes: See which theme you're using, switch back to the default if you're not using it already.
• Layouts: See if you have any custom layout defined, if yes then make a backup and reset to default.
• Stylesheet: See if you have custom stylesheet, if yes then make a backup and reset to default.
• Custom HTML: See if you have any custom HTML defined, if yes then reset to default.

I hope it helps.

Cheers
