Before you start

  • You need to be a Confluence administrator to install the app from the Atlassian Marketplace.
  • People who can view a page can view its diagrams. People who can edit the page can add and change them. See Permissions.
  • The draw.io editor and viewer load from diagrams.net, so your network must allow embed.diagrams.net, viewer.diagrams.net and app.diagrams.net.

Install the app

  1. In Confluence, go to Apps → Explore more apps, search for Diagrams for Confluence and install it.
  2. Edit any page and type /diagram to check the macros are there.
  3. As an admin, open Confluence administration → Apps → Diagrams configuration to choose diagram types, AI settings and viewer defaults.
