Drag and Drop

Heading

Confluence supports these forms of drag-and-drop:

• Drag-and-drop within the editor. Working inside the editor panel, you can drag an image or a macro and drop it into a different location on the page.

• Drag-and-drop for external images and files. You can drag a file from a location outside Confluence, and drop it directly into the editor. For example, try it with images, video files, audio files, Office documents, and PDF files. The contents of the file will be embedded into the page or blog post.

Drag-and-drop within the editor

Working within the editor panel, you can drag an image or a macro from one location on the page and drop it into a different location on the page. Hover your cursor over the image or the macro placeholder. The cursor changes to a drag-and-drop icon  and you can click the image or macro and drag it to a new location. If you want to abandon the drag-and-drop action, press Escape. The image/macro will return to its original position.

Supported Browsers

You can drag files from your computer or file system onto your browser and attach them to your Confluence pages or blog posts. You can drag and drop:

• multiple files at once.
• image, multimedia and PDF files, and Office documents.

When you drag and drop files onto the different Confluence views, you get the following results:

• Attachments. Files are attached.
• Page. Files are attached.
• Edit. Files are attached and embedded at the cursor position.
