How do I get attachments to point to a different location

[Jo Wright]

We have Confluence pages that are authored in pages that are restricted from our client to view.  That allows us to author the page and have an internal review prior to releasing it for the client's review.  We copy the page over to a client-accessible space when internal review is complete. We don't use move because we don't want comments or page history to be viewed (the sausage-making). 

The problem is that, even when I select the option to include images and attachments for the copy, the client cannot see them. I assume this is because the image is actually a pointer and that pointer is pointing to the internal space - the one where the client is prohibited from viewing.  

Right now what I'm doing is copying the page, but not choosing the option to include attachments - which means I have to add attachments again to the copied page.  

Is there a better way to do this?

Hi @Jo Wright ,

That is the correct behavior. 

I haven't seen a way to simplify this approach. I checked into whether hiding comments could be an option by specific end-users. However, two tickets have been raised to Atlassian regarding this.
