How to create a download button?
Asked by Ond?ej Kafna:

I would like to create button inside the table like this:

![Downloadbutton.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/237365iED63EB00EF7B92CB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Downloadbutton.png")

The Attachments object does not really suit my needs as I would need to distinguish between multiple products and thus insert the attachments object several times in one page, which is not optimal.

Unfortunately, there's no way to create buttons in Confluence Cloud out of the box. If you're thinking of a workaround, we can suggest using our [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=create_download_button) app.

With this app, you can create clickable buttons on your pages for internal or external links. You can select the look and feel for your Handy Button as well. Please, see the example below:

We have a [blog post](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/3-ways-to-make-your-confluence-links-effective/) covering the tips for adding noticeable links in Confluence and a [blog post](https://stiltsoft.com/blog/best-practices-for-sreating-external-documentation-site-in-confluence/) about working with documentation in Confluence Cloud. Perhaps they can be useful for you as well.

You can try the [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111&utm_content=create_download_button) app on the Atlassian Marketplace for free to see if it works for you.[Our support](https://stiltsoft.customercase.com/forums/support-requests/ideas/create?category=Handy%20Macros%20for%20Confluence) is always happy to assist with any concerns.

Kind regards,

Out of the box you can't do that. You must have a 3rd party app like [macroSuite](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222649/macrosuite-content-formatting-macros?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Then you can have something like below:

![download.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/237373iB2770FAE9031648E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "download.png")

author: Ond?ej Kafna

You can try then this free app, [AI Buttons](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1227560/ai-buttons-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), which allegedly creates buttons using AI. I haven't tested it, but you can give it a go. It's free for all teams and more than 10 users. Seems promising!
