How to copy the content from Microsoft Whiteboard into Confluence whiteboard?

Question

I have a whitebaord on my MS Teams, now I have to move this to Confluence Whiteboard to keep all the documents at single location. When I copy from MS Teams WB to Confluence WB, it is not working at all. Nothing gets copied over. Any solution?

Hi @Ritesh Chandawar,

Unfortunately, direct copy/paste between Microsoft Whiteboard and Confluence doesn't work. The most practical workflow I've found:

* Export your Microsoft Whiteboard as a PNG — In MS Whiteboard, go to Settings (gear icon) → Export Image → PNG.
* Upload that image to Sketch2Diagram — It's a Confluence macro. Type /Sketch2Diagram on any Confluence page, upload your exported image, and the AI converts your shapes, arrows, and labels into a fully editable diagram — embedded directly on the page. You can drag nodes, edit labels, reconnect arrows, all without leaving Confluence.

No manual rebuilding needed.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer at AppGenesis who built Sketch2Diagram. Happy to answer any questions.

Hi @Ritesh Chandawar ,

Potential idea (something to try out) - if you would export Microsoft whiteboard in pretty much any format, let's say PNG > maybe try using the new Create with Rovo option. It's a pretty powerful thing. 🚀
You could try to then add that image of Microsoft whiteboard when prompting Rovo to create a new Confluence whiteboard, and see how things will turn out.

I haven't tried that specific use case, but in some similar stuff, it did pretty well.

A couple of resources that might help:

* Create a new whiteboard 
* Rovo in Confluence whiteboards 
* Week 3️⃣ of Skip the Blank Page Month: Bite-Sized Learning Tips on Creating and Editing with Rovo

Actually, while writing this, I remembered having an option to import content into whiteboards > see official docs: Export or import your whiteboard 💡
Again, I'm not sure how it will work with Microsoft whiteboards specifically, but you might give it a try.

Cheers,
Tobi

Thanks, Jan, for the answer. Yes, I know that might be a solution but it is not a small content that want to recreate it again.
