Customizing the layout

By default, the files and folders 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 464px tall.

The Admin can set different defaults, and you can customize individual issues.

You can set different layout settings when attaching files and folders to your issue or by clicking the “Layout” button when you already have attached something. You’ll be able to preview the changes in the “Live Preview” panel. When you save the changes, you’ll see the new layout applied to your issue page.

You can also edit the layout of attached files and folders by clicking the “Layout” button in the app.

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 for files: 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 (464px);

• 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.
