Insert the attachments macro
The attachments macro displays a list of files attached to a page. It also allows users (with appropriate permissions) to:
upload a file to the page, directly from the list
edit attachment properties and labels
delete an attached file (this deletes all versions of the file)
preview image attachments
download all files attached to the page.
You can use the macro parameters to turn off previews if you have very large attachments.
To add the attachments macro:
When editing, select from the toolbar
Find the macro by name and select it
Configure it as needed
You can also type / on the page to bring up the same list you'd see by selecting from the toolbar. Continue typing the name of the macro to filter the list.
To edit the attachments macro:
Select the macro placeholder.
Select the Edit icon to open the configuration panel.
Configure the parameters. Your changes are saved as you go.
Resume editing the page, and the panel closes.
You can also select the centered , medium-width , and full-width icons to adjust the width of some macros. Select the trashcan iconto remove the macro.
Parameters
Parameters are options that you can set to control what and how content from the macro appears on the page.
If the parameter name used in Confluence Cloud storage format is different than the label used when inserting macros using the browser or the slash command, it will be listed below in brackets (example).
Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|

|
Attachment Labels(labels) | (none) | A list of labels, used to filter the attachments to display. If you wish to enter more than one label, separate the labels with commas. Confluence will show only attachments that have all the labels specified. (The match is an AND, not an OR.) |
Include Old Attachment Versions(old) | false | A value of true will include previous attachment versions in the list. |
Sort By(sortBy) | date | The sort order for attachments. Note that people viewing the page can change the sort order by clicking the column headings. Valid values are:
|
Sort Order(sortOrder) | ascending | Used in combination with the Sort By parameter, to sort the attachments in ascending or descending order. |
Allow Upload(upload) | true | If selected, the list of attachments will include options allowing users to browse for, and attach, new files. |
Page Title(page) | (none) | Used to display attachments from another page. If you do not enter a page title, the macro will display the files attached to the current page. |
