The edit attachment button at the bottom of an attached powerpoint seems to be broken

[James Leighs]

After attaching a powerpoint file to a confluence page I used the 'Office Powerpoint' macro to insert an interactive thumbnail of the ppt file into a Confluence page. At the bottom of the thumbnail there are 5 buttons. The two buttons to move forward and backward through the slides, the download button and the fullscreen button all work completely fine. The edit button however, does nothing at all. I have tried installing the Atlassian Companion app and this has made no difference. I am using Chrome on Windows 7 and a colleague of mine had the same issue in Edge on Windows 10.

Hello@James Leighs,

It looks like its known issue. You can find it here. There is also a workaround described.

Best regards,

Ah I can see why I couldn't find that article as I was looking for why the button didn't work not why the button was there! I don't want to remove the button completely. It would make more sense if the button launched the companion app, otherwise it is much more difficult to find where to edit the powerpoint.

Yes you are right, but it looks like they just eant to remove it unfortunatelly.

Thanks anyway! I am in the process of getting an upgraded licence which will give us Atlassian support. I will contact them directly about it when that all goes through.
