      When using the "View" link on a attachment (attachment page), or when the office document is shown with the macro

      {viewdoc or viewfile}

      , the button "Edit Document" should be displayed only if needed. This is mostly difficult for people to see a link "edit page" and "edit document" to know what they are doing. And mostly, the webdav could not be enable, thus frustrating people trying to edit the document in Confluence...
      This situation is difficult especially in intranet environement where security is at hign and http and auth basic mostly not permitted...

      The plugin could propose a new module-macro (show edit button on viewmode )that will be "enable" or "disable".

            But this is true that if webdav is disabled in the server there is no point in showing the button or link.

            BTW the authentication token works well and it could part of what you are looking for
            (admin / Configure Office Connector plugin / Allow authentication tokens in the URL path )
