In-Depth Information
Please keep in mind the following points:
• You cannot revert to a previous version of an attachment. Downloading and
uploading the previous version would be a work-around.
• Confluence doesn't track changes within attachments.
• There is no limit to the number of attachments and versions, provided
there is enough disk space on the server that Confluence is running on.
• Older versions of an attachment can be removed, given a user has
the appropriate permissions.
Downloading attachments
Users can download all attachments in Confluence, provided the user has
the permissions needed to view the page the attachment is attached to.
To download a single attachment, perform the following steps:
1. Browse to the Attachment view of a page by going to
Tools
|
Attachments
.
2. Right-click on the link on the attachment's name and select
Select Link as
,
or a similar option in your browser.
3. Select the location where to download the file to.
To download all the attachments from a page, perform he following steps:
1.
Browse to the Attachment view of a page by going to
Tools
|
Attachments
.
2.
Click on the
Download All
button located at the end of the page,
to download a ZIP file containing all the attachments (this link only
appears if there are two or more files attached).
Downloading an attachment doesn't prevent somebody from uploading a new
version of the attachment. This could potentially mean that, by uploading
the attachment again, changes are overwritten. There are plugins available to
enhance Confluence with a checkout mechanism, such as Lockpoint by Arsenale.
Embedding attachments
Once you have attached a file to a page, there are different methods for embedding
the content of that file into your Confluence page.
