Include picture that is already available as attachment

[Simon Mayr]

Dear All,

I'm currently facing an issue with confluence when I want to include a picture (or file) that is already uploaded into a site.
The macro for including files and pictures only has 2 options "upload from PC" and "upload from link". Some time ago there was also an option "from existing files".

Can someone tell me, if this is some kind of a setting that I have failed to set or if this funciton has been removed? Is there another way to add existing files in sites?

Thank you for your support.
I'd appreciate any hint.

Best Regards
Simon

Hi @Simon Mayr 

Unfortunately, it is not supported...

A workaround is to use Excerpt and Except include to get a picture from another page, or mutliexcerpt if you have several pictures in the same page that you intend to re-use elsewhere.

Hi @Simon Mayr ,

I would suggest taking a look at the following answer: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Re-Re-Confluence-page-missing-attachments-files/qaq-p/2880444/comment-id/328321#M328321

In short, this option isn't available in Confluence Cloud (new editor) but you can vote on feature suggestion related to it: CONFCLOUD-65344 - Allow adding attachments from a page or space on Fabric editor 

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tom
