Attached Files in the Wiki

In the Wiki, files can be uploaded, stored, and distributed to viewers and visitors.  They can be displayed on pages as clickable thumbnails but for efficiency they are better presented as links.  When clicked, many file types appear in a viewer, where visitors can read or view text, tables, images, and other illustrations, and scroll between pages.  If visitors have access to a file in Confluence, they can download a copy of it to their device.

Files as Attachments

Files stored in the Wiki are attached to particular pages.  You, and any visitors, can see all the files attached to a page by visiting the attachments page, by clicking the righthand menu icon, and choosing Attachments.  At a glance, the number after the link in the righthand Attachments link will show you how many files are attached to this page.

Images displayed on a page are attached files.  If you go to the Attachments page for this wiki page, you will see the image displayed above listed as files named "wikiattach.jpg" and "wikiattach2.jpg."  Note, however, that the embedded video is not an attachment (on this page, or any other in the wiki) because it is hosted at YouTube, and only embedded on this page.
