How to Create a Diagram in Confluence

If you use Confluence regularly, you probably know how helpful visuals are for communication and collaboration. They make pages more engaging and easier to understand at a glance. 

One of the best ways to make your content more visually appealing, especially if you’re communicating information about complex processes or structures, is by adding diagrams.

The easiest way to create diagrams in Confluence is with Gliffy, the Atlassian Marketplace’s original diagramming app. It’s enterprise teams’ go-to tool for creating diagrams and flowcharts that bring Confluence pages to life — and it’s free to try it out yourself.
