Issue Summary
After the legacy editor migration to the new editor, many file links became "static." Instead of pointing to the "latest" version of an attachment, the URLs now have a specific version number embedded (e.g., .../version/37).
While some files auto-updated to the new dynamic link format, others remained stuck with static versioned links. This prevents the page from automatically displaying the most recent upload
Steps to Reproduce
- Have a page with attachments links
- Update the attachment to a new recent version
Expected Results
The link of the attachments gets updated to match the one recently uploaded
Actual Results
The link became static after the migration, so it can't be updated, while the attachment macro shows the new version.
Workaround
The most reliable way to fix a static link in the New Editor is to delete the old link and re-insert it using the /file command or the toolbar:
Edit the affected Confluence page.
Delete the existing static link/text.
Type /file or click the + (Insert) icon in the toolbar and select Files and images.
Select the attachment from the list of files already attached to the page.
Publish the page.
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
