      Status Update 13 March 2020

      As we're working through this feature and others, we wanted to address a lot of your concerns as to the future of the new editor and legacy editor.

      Please read our recent community post here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/Change-to-your-content-is-in-your-hands/ba-p/1324476

      Thanks,

      Description

      In the old editor, when an attachment is added a user has the option to show the attachment as a thumbnail or a link. This feature has been removed in the new editor and only show as a thumbnail. Giving users the flexibility of showing as a link is a feature that should be restored.

            How soon can we have this feature back? Is there an ETA?  Having the attachment appear as a thumbnail is not looking good in a table....

            I miss this feature to add attached files with a link.  A hyperlink is the most basic function of the Web!

            @Marius looks like this is a duplicate. They have moved https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65302 to In Progress, which gives me some hope

            The fact that Atlassian feels like this feature needs to "gather interest" is outrageous.

            Really important to our users with how we use confluence - we often have tables with many attachments referenced and are only readable when showing as a link.

            I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of those begging you to return the link feature. Its loss represents a huge blow to our efficiency.
