Greetings fellow diagrammers,
We're happy to announce the latest release of Mermaid Diagrams for Confluence for Confluence cloud.
The aim of this release was to move the app to the Atlassian Forge platform as well as the full redesign of the UI. Furthermore, this release paves the way for the integration with AI agents.
What's new
Diagram editor design. And a splash screen.
The look and feel of the diagram editor is already familiar to all Confluence users.
Click the diagram name to reveal the rename feature.
Navigate your GitHub and GitLab repositories with ease.
New editor also features enhanced support for dark theme.
Rovo support
Chat with Rovo and add, update or delete Mermaid diagrams.
This release comes with an LLM-friendly macro that uses a rudimentary macro config and comes with a simple macro editor for us humans.
Zero egress
Mermaid is rendered on the client natively. The app never sends the data to an external server nor does it store the data anywhere outside of Confluence.
Same privacy policies apply as before. Zero data retention.
Editions
Standard edition gives the basic diagramming experience, which includes AI diagramming.
Advanced edition enables integrations with repositories such as GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket(soon).
Compatibility
The app retains backward compatibility. Diagrams made with the previous version of the app will work without any additional work needed.
What breaks
Technically, this is a new app running on a new infrastructure. This means, connections previously made with repositories like GitHub or GitLab will break. Simply navigate to the admin page and reconnect using provided instructions. This was imposed by the Forge architecture and it only takes a few minutes to reconnect.
What's coming soon
Bitbucket support for Advanced edition. Similar to what's already implemented for GitHub and GitLab, user will be able to source their diagrams from Bitbucket repositories.
Ending note
While much has been done to improve the UX, we're constantly working on improving it. If you feel like there's something we're missing in terms of features, drop us a feature request and well get on it.
Happy diagramming,
Stratus Add-ons team.
