Whiteboard in view-only mode

Roman Favorov March 13, 2025

I'm the creator and owner of 2 whiteboards in our Confluence workspace under Standard subscription. We've got 5 more whiteboards created by others in our workspace. From those 5, I can edit 4, but for one it says that I've got a view-only mode under our subscription.

What should I do to have the edit access to that one board?

@Roman Favorov you can only have three active whiteboards per user.  How many paid users do you have on your standard plan?  If it is 2 then you will only be able to have 6 active whiteboards.

We've got 128 users under the Standard plan in Confluence.

@Roman Favorov How many whiteboards does the user have that owns the one that is read only?

@Brant Schroeder , I see the one board created/owned by that user.

@Roman Favorov Have you contacted the owner of the board? They may have set permissions that allow you to view it, but not edit it.

The banner is explicitly saying, that it's the subscription restriction

This is very concerning, since it's supposed to be 3 per user who creates the whiteboard, not 3 total. You may want to contact Atlassian Support to help troubleshoot this: https://support.atlassian.com
