Uploaded file shows as tile but want to show as hyperlink

[Mike Thumm]

You used to be able to hover over the tile and it would allow you to change to a link

Hello Mike,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you!

I noticed the same with the release of the new editor, and raised the following feature request:

• CONFCLOUD-65302 Ability to link text to an attachment in editor

It's in our long-term backlog right now, and you can follow along on this feature along with other missing features on the page below:

• Confluence Cloud Editor Roadmap 

As a workaround, you can obtain the URL of an attachment using the Attachments Macro, and then just enter it as a plain text link:

Give that a try, and let me know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon
