What are the pros/cons of these alternatives?
I think it was more intuitive to see "Edit in Office" in the attachment list rather to clicking on the attachments to get the "Edit with" option.
Hi @Michal Michal ,
Atlassian Companion is Confluence's primary file editing feature. We have made huge improvements recently in Confluence 7.3 and Companion 1.1.0, see this community post for details. Also, this documentation page for Edit Files may be useful.
Firstly, I will note that editing a file from Companion can be launched from all the same places as Edit in Office, and more, including the attachments macro, attachments page and office and PDF macros.
The following comparison is for Confluence 7.3 (with Companion 1.1.0) and above.
Companion
Edit in Office
Edit in Office is considered "legacy" and has a number of open bugs including a limited editing time, incompatibility with certain OS versions and Office application versions.
