Work with Files

View modes

After connecting files to an issue you are able to see them in the SharePoint Files issue panel. There are two view modes available which you can switch to based on your personal preference.

Changing the view mode is just related to the current user as this information is not stored on the issue.

Currently, the following view modes are supported:

Card view

This view provides a similar experience as the attachments section and contains a preview of the file.

List view

This view is optimized to show detailed information about files and to provide fast access to file actions.

File Actions

There are several actions available for connected files which are available in the List view and in the Card view. On the card view the actions can be accessed by hovering on a card where a context menu and common actions will be available.
