Customizing the layout

By default, the files attached to Jira issues use a regular header and appear in the collapsed view to use less space on the screen. It’s easy to preview the file by clicking the arrow to open the expanded view, which uses the width of the page and is 400 px tall.

You can change this for each issue.

You can set different layout settings by selecting the different options from the layout toolbar.

Attachment header

Select the size for the header of the attachment:

• Regular: The standard size for the header of attached files and folders. It shows a big icon and additional details;

• Compact: Uses a smaller icon and only indicates the name of the file or folder;

• Hidden: Completely hides the file header and forces the expanded preview option. Moving the mouse over the file will show a compact header.

Preview height

Select the height for the preview:

• Regular: The standard height for previews (400 px);

• Custom: Define a value for the height of the preview area.

Preview default visibility

Select the behavior for the preview:

• Collapsed: The standard option that hides the preview;

• Expanded: Automatically shows the preview of files and folders. This option is required when selecting the “Hidden for files” header.
