About the preview

On this page, we'll cover the different ways to preview your files on Jira using the Team Files app, expanding the topics presented on the page about the file manager.

With the Team Files app, you can preview files on the file manager and on issues you attached files and folders. You can preview the most common Office document formats, PDF documents, and popular image formats.

This way, it's easy to use your Jira issues as your one source of truth, with content always accessible and updated.

Preview Office in your issues

Using the Team Files app, you can attach files and folders to your Jira issues and then preview their content, edit documents and browse folders.

Click the name of the file (2) you want to open the preview.

Another option exclusive to the preview in issues is to view the content inline without hiding your issue page. By default, every attached file and folder display in a collapsed view to save screen space. You can expand each file by clicking the disclosure button (1) on the left to preview its content.

You can expand attached folders the same way, so you can easily see its content and even navigate sub-folders. You can also preview the files' contents inside the attached folder by clicking the name to open the full-screen preview.
