By Impran M N
Bouncing between separate design tabs breaks up your documentation flow, and static screenshots go stale fast. This guide shows how to add and edit a draw.io diagram directly inside a Confluence page in 2026.
01Open the diagram setup
In edit mode, type `/draw.io` or `/diagram` and hit Enter to launch the graphic setup portal.
02Start from a template
Select Create New Diagram or choose a pre-designed flowchart template from the left menu drawer.
03Build the diagram
Drag shapes from the sidebar, use quick-connect arrows to map steps, and style elements using the format panel.
04Save your work
Click File in the top left of the draw.io editor and select Save to sync the vector to your page canvas.
05Publish
Review your document's visual flow and click Publish to make the page and diagram live.
