OneView for Confluence
Preview every file attached to a Confluence page without leaving the page: PDFs, Office documents, images, video and more.
Overview
OneView adds a macro that lists a page’s attachments and opens them in a built-in viewer. Readers can browse, search and preview files without downloading anything or switching tabs.
There’s nothing to set up: insert the macro and it works. It follows your Confluence theme, including dark mode, and only shows files the reader already has permission to open.
Features
One viewer, many formats
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images, audio, video, Markdown, code, JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, all previewed on the page.
Organised file list
Files are grouped by type, with search and sorting to find the one you need.
Pin a key document
Page editors can pin one file so the page always opens straight to it.
Looks like Confluence
Built with Atlassian’s design language, and follows light and dark themes.
Respects permissions
Files are read with each reader’s own Confluence permissions, never more.
No tracking
OneView records nothing about who views which file.
How to use
The viewer
Wherever the macro is inserted. Type / in the editor and search for OneView
Downloads
The page’s own attachments: the paperclip in the page header, or Page options → Attachments
-
Insert the macro
Edit the page, type
/, search for OneView and insert it where you want the viewer. Then publish the page. -
Browse the files
Use the list on the left to search by name, sort by name or size, and browse files grouped by type.
-
Preview a file
Click any file to open it in the viewer on the right. PDFs include page navigation, and presentations render as slides.
-
Pin a file (optional)
Select a file and click Pin file so every reader lands on it. Click Unpin to return to the full list. Pinning needs page edit rights.
-
Download when needed
The viewer is view-only. To download a file, use the page’s attachments list.
Good to know
- Installers and archives (such as
.exeand.zip) aren’t listed, because they can’t be previewed. The file list shows how many were left out. - Spreadsheets, older Office formats (
.doc,.ppt) and templates can’t be previewed. The viewer explains why and suggests an alternative where there is one. - Click Hide files to give the preview the full width.
Privacy
- Doesn’t track readers. There’s no activity log, analytics or telemetry.
- The only thing stored is which file a macro is pinned to, kept in Atlassian Forge storage.
- Files are read with the viewer’s own Confluence permissions.
- Makes no connections outside Atlassian.
Our privacy policy covers every AryonForge app.
