Authentication method
...
Replicate storage permissions
By default, the SharePoint Connector app replicates the cloud storage permissions and requires user authentication by default to view connected folders and preview and edit attached items.

Changing this setting removes connected folders in the file manager. You'll have to connect them again. If you switch to "Require storage authentication," attached files and folders in macros still appear, but you'll need to authenticate with the appropriate account to view the content. |
Require storage authentication for all storage places
This option is the default setting for new Confluence instances, and admins can apply it to existing ones.
Users need to authenticate to browse connected folders and preview and edit files. Permissions set for users on storage places are applied on Confluence.
Require SharePoint and OneDrive authentication for edit (Legacy)
By selecting this option, admins can set the SharePoint Connector app to apply editing permissions for users from SharePoint and OneDrive.
Users can browse connected folders and preview files, but they must sign in with their Office 365 accounts to edit files so each user has the correct permissions.
Simplified sharing, no authentication required
Admins can select this setting to simplify sharing if there aren't advanced permissions requirements.
Users can browse connected folders and preview and edit files without authenticating on the original storage. Only permissions set on SharePoint Connector and Confluence are applied.

It’s 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 464px tall by default, or clicking the file name (or preview button) to open the full-screen preview.

Attachment header
Select the default size for the header of new macros:
Regular: The standard size for the header of attached files and folders. It shows a big icon and additional details;
