File link should open in Lightbox instead of opening raw file

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      We have trouble browsing the files, we have trouble viewing images.

      What is done:
      As the file link opens each image raw we have to click on right-click each image and open in new window. then users toggle through the tabs in browser to see the different screens.

      And almost everyone misses the Preview button because it is hidden and visible only on click of the chevron near the image name.

      It will be simpler if the image link opens the file in lightbox and not the raw file. And the raw file open can be in the place of preview place. See attached screen-shot.

      The simpler experience would be when a user clicks on a File name it should open in lightbox.
