@Tamim Noorzad I disagree. I bullet point or numbered point are just indicators of a different type of content - they aren't content. A new bullet point is empty until you type something in it. I often add images within bullet/numbered lists, and I want them to be original size.
It's great that you've added this feature for the people that need it. It's also great that we can change an image from one to the other.
What would've been even more great, for those of us who rarely need it, is (a) the default being what we currently had, so that we're not scratching our heads wondering why on earth images have started inserting "teeny tiny", and (b) the ability to set a preference. As some other people have pointed out, having to make this change manually for every pasted image is going to get really old really fast. And yes I appreciate that pasting it into an empty paragraph will insert it as original size, but again as mentioned above this won't work for a paragraph which looks empty (ie no text) but with a number or a bullet.
Is there a way to set a size default for images when working on an article? I am unlikely to ever use the inline image size but can't get rid of it and it is creating extra work for me.
Most of the articles I create are numbered processes. When I write a numbered step, I follow it with a soft return before adding the image. This way the image appears slightly indented and directly under the step. As a result, I am now tasked with the extra step of changing EVERY SINGLE IMAGE from inline to original size because the soft enter reads as though the image is appearing on the same line as the text. It's not difficult to change, obviously, but is kind of frustrating and would be great if I could set a default type/size for the images for the article once instead of having to adjust every image I add.

Hey folks, one thing that I think could be improved for this feature is the default rules. I know other folks have mentioned this above but let me provide a different example:
When writing a knowledge base article, especially using numbered or bullet point lists, it was easy to write the whole document, then go line by line and use "/image" next to a point and every new image would create its own line break flawlessly
Now with the new feature, especially bulleted or numbered lists, I have to create a line break, delete the bullet or number, insert an image and hope I didn't break the continuity of the numbered list.
The previous feature felt much easier to use with its default "original size" and "line break" automatically.
Anyway to revert this so that inline can be an option to toggle instead of being dictated by character vs blank rules?
Adding my vote for the need to set my default to original size. This has really annoyed a lot of people here. Having to change the size of each image is a huge time waster. Not sure why you would assume everyone wanted this change.
Hoping to see the ability to change the default really soon!!!

Tamim Noorzad when will we be able to re-size inline images? Ideally I would like this to be arbitrary but having an "original"\"small"\"medium"\"large" would probably be OK as an interim step.
The current implementation is functionally useless though, unfortunately.
Whoever keeps wishing on a monkey paw to get Atlassian to implement stuff...I appreciate the sentiment, really I do, but please stop.
Just came to vote changing the default behavior of this to original size.
I'm just trying to write documentation and insert screenshots, which was previously a fairly quick and easy task, and now there's a two-click penalty for using large images.
The detection logic for a 'blank line' seems completely off for bulleted items.
@Tamim Noorzad IMHO An empty bullet or an empty numbered list should be considered empty. The bullet or the number is not content that was put on the line. It's just styling. # and ## for h1 / h2 are not content either, they are just shortcuts to select a certain style.
Users that want the inline "feature" will probably disagree,
I just have no need for inline mages, so please give me the ability to turn them off, in the rare cases where I need inline, I'll happily change from original to inline
I should be documenting a procedure, instead I'm here complaining why the tool I use to document the procedure no longer works for me.
Is there a way to use the 'new' editor to place several images horizontally side-by-side, without setting them as inline micro-images? Using the '3 column layout is not really feasible either.
Unless I am overlooking something, I am amazed by this oversight and limitation going from the 'old' to the 'new' editor.

Today, I'm liking the default to inline. Yesterday, I used this feature extensively to replace custom emojis with inline images of the picture I uploaded to create the emoji. Now they show in my Scroll Viewport output, where custom emojis aren't supported.
If only they would fix the defect to allow me to select an image that's already attached to the page, I would be even more happy!
Just so we're clear, I think we can all agree that having this feature is a great thing. The objection is that for those people who don't happen to want it all the time, it's been forced on them. Users should be able to set default = inline or default = not-inline (normal? standard? name doesn't really matter lol).
Users could then change individual images if necessary for a specific task. Or if the task required multiple images in the "opposite" way, they could just temporarily change the default. IMO this would truly make it easiest for all users, no matter which way they need the option to work.
The introduction of this change actually broke my primary flow for inserting images.
My flow: Write some text → paste an image
Prior to the introduction of inline images, this would cause an image to paste on the next line after the text.
---
My new flow: Write some text → hit Enter → paste an image
This causes a new line to be inserted in between my text and the image, so I have to go back and erase the empty line for every image I insert.
Super tedious.
The alternative is to paste the image inline (using my original two-step flow) and then switch from keyboard to mouse to change the image from inline to full size.
Also super tedious.
---
If anyone has discovered a way to avoid these extra steps, I would love to know.
I never longed for inline images and would at the very least expect a setting to go back to the former default (block image with original size on insert).
How is it that YOU decide what I want?
Being in "The Cloud" doesn't mean everybody yearns for a dark mode ;-) - or an inline-image-default-mode, as far as this goes.
Can we get an option to set the default to Original size? We make guides and inline images have to always be clicked and converted to original size from copying and pasting screenshots.
Clicking on each image to resize to orignal or clicking the inline to view when doing a how to article is not really great.
Another vote for being able to set which option you want as default.
Forcing tiny useless images inline as the default on everyone is a massively incorrect decision and just generates extra work for everyone inserting actual images (not emoji or icons) into documents.

I want to comment that this doesn't solve for what I need. I do a lot of navigational level content creation. I need the text and the image to be different sizes for differentiation. On Confluence Server, I was able to do this but not on the modern version. This is making my job more difficult, and making it more difficult for my readers to read text. As a user, let me be able to set the text size and the image size differently. I want the text and the spacing to modify around the size of the image, if I want the image to be bigger/smaller than the text.
I literally *hate* this feature. It doesn't work and there is no way to paste in an original image. Or sometimes there is. It's just random. I *hate* hatehate this and it's caused nothing but frustration. Where do I turn it off FOREVER on my sites???
Just came back to this after trying to work around it... It's so disrupted my workflow (which was extremely image-focused) and it takes me 10x longer to insert an image. I have to go to a new block, drag the image, find that IT DOESN'T WORK. If I click on it -- the original size doesn't work either; So I open my image in preview, copy it, then go back here and paste it in a new block, then drag the block into my table.
The level of frustration this is causing is obscene given that I'm generally inserting dozens of images per article.
This "feature" is such a deal-breaker for me. And it's arrogant AF for you to roll this out without a flag or anything else to warn people... Really, really poor product management.

Hi everyone,
We’ve been analysing usage data to understand how often users insert an image and then convert it to a block. The data indicates that most users prefer inserting block-level images by default. Based on this insight, we’re planning to implement this change early next year.
Thank you for your patience and continued feedback—it helps us improve!
