How do I edit an Excel spreadsheet in confluence cloud

[Deleted user]

Hi

I am using Confluence Cloud and want to embed an Excel spreadsheet onto a page and then update / edit it.

I've done a bit of research and it seems I need a connector app - however this post https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/install-atlassian-companion-992678880.html Tells me its no longer available after March 2022.

Is there a way to upload a spreadsheet into Confluence from my hard drive, edit it within Confluence, save the updated version back in Confluence (and possibly on my C: drive?) to keep a signle version of the truth?

If so how do I do it?

Alst want to do teh same with Word, PowerPoint and Publisher files - again is this possible and if so how?

Thanks

Chris

unfortunately there is no way to implement your required feature.

Hi @[deleted] ,

Unfortunately no such feature is available in Confluence Cloud. You will have to manually re upload the file via the attachments page/macro, or editor.

Thanks for your reply @Alex K - I saw some mention of this feature being developed on the roadmap to replace the companion app.  Is this the case?  Will I ever be able to edit an Excel sheet / Office doc directly within a Confluence page or this this a pipe dream?

If that's the case then I assume all I can do is upload a copy of an excel file to a page for reference but have to go back to my PC to edit it and then re-upload the revised version - which kinda negates the idea of having a single space for everything easy at hand and a single source of the 'Truth' - Right?

Thanks for your prompt reply :-)
