      The Issue

      On the previous editor, it was possible to edit the image's sizes when inserting a column macro. On the new editor though, you are only allowed to delete the image.

      Steps to replicate

      1. Create a new page
      2. Insert a column macro
      3. Insert an image
      4. Try to resize it

      Expected Results

      You should be able to drag & resize images, just like you do with them on the page's body

      Actual Results

      You're not.

            Bumping this. My pages would look much better and be easier to navigate. Specifically the How To with all the screen shots. Thanks!

            Any updates on this being worked on? The last post was in Feb 2019!! I still cannot edit images to resize so they all match.

            Well said, Cameron!

            We have hundreds of pages based on templates that use columns, images, and tables. Redesigning these pages will be nightmare. It as if Atlassian is completely out-of-touch with what their users use and need.

            It's so aggravating that we have to wait for editing features that used to work perfectly fine to be restored. Atlassian support only suggests voting on the issue to raise its priority. Restoring these features should be _Atlassian's _high priority. I am the Confluence Admin for a big company, and colleagues ask me to contact support about issues. I cannot ask my colleagues to waste time voting on issues. As their representative, my vote should count as 500!

            Except that the big distinction here is that you cant resize a column like you can with a table, so yeah it might be the same behavior from the back end but the impact is worse. Also, needing feedback on this is a little weird because this just straight up breaks migration of content from old columns to new columns, anyone who did any layout at all like image wrapping will have to significantly redesign everything they're working on across all of their pages.

            This is currently as designed. The same behavior with images applies to images within tables.

            We have gotten some feedback that customers wish to resize images within other content so we are looking into allowing this to happen in the future.
