Diagrams for Confluence

Reuse a diagram on another page

Embed a diagram from anywhere on the site.

1 min read

Use Embed diagram to show a diagram from another page without copying it.

  1. Edit a page, type / and choose Embed diagram.
  2. Pick a diagram from Recent diagrams, or Search by name or by text inside it. Or use Upload to add a .drawio, .excalidraw or .mmd file to this page and embed it.
  3. On Current diagram, set Version: Latest (follows new versions) keeps it up to date with the original; a numbered version stays fixed.
  4. Press Insert.
Current diagram: choose how it's shown and whether it follows new versions.

Note: Readers need view access to the original page. Edit diagram on an embed changes the original, so every page that embeds it at the latest version shows the change.

Copied pages and macros

A copied macro first shows the original diagram. The first time someone edits it, it gets its own independent copy on its new page, so the original is never changed by mistake.
