Limitations

This page documents the current limitations of Advanced Attachment Manager for Confluence.

Attachment Version Size Limitation

Due to Atlassian API limitations:

• The file size shown for attachment versions is not accurate
• The displayed size is always from the latest version
• This affects all version-related features and reporting
• We have raised this issue with Atlassian and are actively discussing a solution

Impact

• Version size comparisons may be inaccurate
• Storage calculations for older versions may be incorrect
• Bulk operations based on version size may not be precise

Workaround

• Use the latest version size as a reference
• For precise version size information, download the specific version
• Monitor storage usage through Confluence's native tools

Atlassian Platform Limitations

Storage and Access

• Files must be uploaded to Confluence before they can be managed
• External storage is not supported
• Custom CSP (Content Security Policy) must be configured if loading assets from your own domain

API Restrictions

• Rate limits apply to bulk operations
• Some operations may be slower in large instances
• Certain metadata may not be available through the API

Best Practices

1. Regular Verification: Periodically verify file sizes manually
2. Backup Important: Keep backups of critical files
3. Monitor Storage: Use Confluence's native tools for storage monitoring
4. Stay Updated: Check release notes for new features and improvements
5. Report Issues: Contact support if you encounter any problems

Future Improvements

We are actively working with Atlassian to:

• Improve version size accuracy
• Enhance API capabilities
• Add more detailed reporting features
• Implement better storage management tools
