Several times I've by accidentally change the name of a file and it has updated an already added image. I didn't think the images remained connected to the file. Is this a setting? I would prefer them not to be connected.

Hi @Laura Fox , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When you upload the same image Confluence should display a warning about it:

This mechanism allows you to maintain a history of file changes - for example, if you’re working on a design that evolves with each iteration. Additionally, if only the attachment on a page needs to be updated, it will be replaced smoothly. You can also preview previous versions directly:

You can change the file name in attachment properties.
