There are two places in Confluence where you can view attachment details:
- View the list of attachments in a space — this will show all files/images attached to all pages in the space.
- View the list of attachments for a specific page.
On this page:
Viewing Attachments in a Space
To view the attachments associated with a space,

The attachment views show the following fields. (The page view shows a different subset of fields from the space view.)
- Name is the name of the attached file.

- Creator is the user who attached this file. The person who uploaded each new version of a file will be acknowledged as the creator of that version. Clicking on the link takes you to their profile.
- Creation Date is the date the file was attached. You can sort by date by clicking the column title.
- Last Mod. Date is the date the file was last modified. Please refer to definition of Last Modifier for a list of actions that qualify as a modification.

- Comment (in the page view) is a short description of the attachment.
- The Properties link (in the page view) lets you edit the attachment details.
- The Remove link (in the page view) lets you delete the attachment.
- The Edit link (in the page view) only appears next to Office files and lets you edit that attachment directly from the list of attachments. See Viewing and Editing Attached Files.
- The View link (in the page view) only appears next to Office and PDF files and lets you view that attached attachment directly from the list of attachments. See Viewing and Editing Attached Files.
Viewing and Editing Attached Files
This inclusion is best inserted under the heading 'Viewing and Editing Attached Documents'.
If an attachment is an Office or PDF file, you will see a 'View' link as shown in the screen snippet below. Furthermore, if the attachment is an Office file, it will also have an 'Edit in Office' link.
