Just Add+ Excalidraw: Sketch Ideas Where Work Happens

[#1]

---

You know that moment in a meeting when someone says:

“Hang on, let me draw it out…”

And suddenly, the whole room gets it?

That kind of clarity now lives inside Confluence.

We’re excited to introduce Just Add+ Excalidraw, the newest app in the Just Add+ suite — designed to help teams think visually, sketch quickly, and collaborate in real time, right where your documentation already lives.

What It Is

Just Add+ Excalidraw brings the popular open-source Excalidraw editor into your Confluence workspace.

If you've used tools like Canva, Figma, or even just sketched on a whiteboard, this will feel instantly familiar — but lighter, faster, and built for Confluence.

With Just Add+ Excalidraw, you can:

• Draw and embed directly inside your Confluence page
• Collaborate in real time with teammates
• Save automatically — no screenshots or copy/paste
• Create approachable, hand-drawn-style visuals
• Stay focused with a clean, distraction-free canvas

Whether you're diagramming workflows, sketching wireframes, or mapping out ideas on the fly, this is the simplest way to turn thoughts into visuals inside your documentation.

Why Teams Asked for This

Confluence is where teams write things down.
But more and more, they also need to draw things out.

That’s what inspired Just Add+ Excalidraw — a simple, visual-first tool that fits naturally into team workflows.

Before this, users often had to:

• Upload static diagrams that quickly went stale
• Skip visuals altogether and explain things with extra paragraphs

Now you don’t have to.

Just Add+ Excalidraw gives you a lightweight, whiteboard-style canvas inside Confluence — perfect for quick visuals, live diagramming, and idea mapping in real time.

And it’s not here to replace more structured visual tools.

It’s built to complement our other app, Just Add+ Embed Markdown, Diagrams, & Code in Confluence Git — which is ideal for rendering code-based diagrams from your source tools.

Together, they give you a complete visual collaboration setup, all within Confluence:

• Just Add+ Embed: Bring in content from your dev stack
• Just Add+ Excalidraw: Sketch ideas as fast as you think of them

Who It’s For

✅ Product managers mapping out user flows
✅ Designers and educators illustrating concepts
✅ Engineers and dev teams sketching systems and architecture
✅ Anyone explaining something complex, fast

And the best part? There’s no learning curve.

If you can use a marker, you can use Excalidraw.

Part of the Just Add+ Ecosystem 

Just Add+ Excalidraw is part of the growing Just Add+ suite — a set of apps designed to make it easier to create, visualize, and collaborate inside Confluence.

You might’ve known us under our original (and very SEO-friendly) name:
Embed Diagram Git Markdown LaTeX HTML Plant UML Mermaid Swagger UML.

That name helped people find us — but it didn’t reflect how teams actually work.
So we rebranded to Just Add+ — and we’re building a cleaner, more focused way to enrich your Confluence experience, one app at a time.
