Hello everyone,
Thank you all for your insightful comments expressing the need for this particular feature. We're thrilled to announce that you can now preview password-protected PDFs in Jira and Confluence.
Thank you again for all the comments and your patience.
Best,
Yuan Zhuang
PM on Platform team
Issue Summary
When clicking on a password-protected file like pdf to see the preview, it shows an error that says "Something went wrong. We couldn't generate a preview for this file. Could not load image, the format is invalid. Try downloading the file to view it.
![]()
Note: This behaviour is different from the old issue view. In old issue view, a prompt will appear for the user to enter their password and preview the file without downloading.
Steps to Reproduce
- Attach a password protected file in a Jira issue.
- To preview, click on the file
Expected Results
Show a prompt to enter the password and preview the file, without the need to download.
![]()
Actual Results
The below prompt is shown instead without asking for the password to allow preview of the file.
![]()
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
It's possible to download the file and be able to enter the password to view the file on your local computer.
