      Notes

      The storage format of the page shows an empty URL in place of the image.

      <ac:image><ri:url /></ac:image>

      Older versions of Confluence will show a broken image.

      <img src="/wiki/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/error?i18nKey=editor.placeholder.broken.image&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2" title="com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.XhtmlException: Missing required attribute: {http://atlassian.com/resource/identifier}value" class="transform-error" data-encoded-xml="%3Cac%3Aimage+ac%3Aalt%3D%22Image+result+for+devtools+crash%22%3E%3Cri%3Aurl+%2F%3E%3C%2Fac%3Aimage%3E">

      Workaround

      There are a few workaround available for this bug.

      • Save the image locally on the workstation and then copy into Confluence
      • Copy from another source where the image format is png or jpeg
