When i insert the excel file macro on a page, it displays a "Edit Document" Link.  I am ok with giving users the ability to download the file, but ideally they would be unable to edit the file from the wiki page.  Is this possible?

I wanted to remove or hide the "Edit Document" link. By using "view source" to see the page code I discovered that the "Edit Document" link uses this:

class="confluence-button office-editable"

I was able to use the following CSS snippet to hide the "Edit Document" link well enough.

/* This is used to hide the "Edit Document" link that would normally display above the spreadsheet. */
.confluence-button {display: none;}
.office-editable {display: none;}

Hi,

 

Would restricting edit permissions for all other users on the page solve this issue?

 

Cheers,

 

Ben

possibly, but would run into issues with people expecting to be able to edit it then.  ideally they wouldnt even have the option.  this would limit the confusion
