How to add a caption to an image in Confluence Ondemand?

Question

I've inserted an image in a Confluence page. There does not seem to be an option to add a caption to provide a short explanation of the image.

I found a link - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Displaying+Images that "explains" how to add a caption.

Add a caption to an image:

• Choose Effects in the image properties panel and choose the Instant Camera image effect. Save the page.
• Choose Tools > Attachments to go to the 'Attachments' view of the page.
• Choose Properties next to the image file.
• Add a comment to the attachment. The text in your comment will appear as the image caption.

When I follow the instructions, I do not see a Properties for the image or a comment.

Answer 1

My workaround is to add a 1x2 cells table that holds the image in the upper cell and the caption in the lower one.

A native implementation would be great though.

Answer 2

Similar to Olivia Gajadhar's answer, Atlassian has added a workaround of adding a comment to the "Instant Camera" effect; see the documentation for more details.

Unfortunately Atlassian hasn't got their act together and still haven't implemented captions for real. See Confluence bug CONF-2584.
