Jonno Katahanas Atlassian Team

Hey @Matt Richards , thanks for raising these. We're working to figure out fixes to support these. I'm going to be OOO for a little while so looping in @Abhinav Singh @Christina Ristevski to follow-up as we work through options.

Figuring specifics out. But hopefully over the coming couple of months. We're currently heads down getting the Beta out the door, including moving whiteboards into the content tree, global create, recents, etc. We can update with progress as soon as we know.

I'll pass this onto the Jira team that owns this experience. Thanks for the insight. I've raised with our whiteboard team the need to make the search input more obvious.

Posting this on behalf of @Daniel Simmonds as his media upload is playing up. Example below of what it could like showing the assignee avatar on a Jira Smart Link. This is the same approach to how assignee is shown on a Jira issue in a Jira board.

Re; what a "Smart" is - it's purely where we apply a list of personalized recommendations based off what we understand about the user. In this example, it's showing a list of users we think the person works close to or are relevant to the Jira project. Another example of applying "Smarts" could be personalizing the list of…

The team would love to chat to understand your agile use cases better! Adding in @Christina Ristevski who's the Product Manager driving a lot of whiteboards moving forwards. If you're happy to give up some time to chat, you can drop something that works for you into her calendar here. Sorry if there's limited timezone…

Thanks, mate. The team is listening. Appreciate your great feedback & ideas!

That thinking makes sense. We've heard some asks for assignee, too. At some point we'll probably move towards providing customisability. cc'ing in our designer @Daniel Simmonds who's been having a look at adding more meta data into the Jira cards.

This is a super solid use case that we definitely want to better support in the future. Over time, we want to provide better experiences for agile ceremonies / workflows like this. One thing you mentioned was on the alignment front. We have alignment guides that should help you align to other elements near by (See below…

Hey mate - providing the ability for users to customize what meta data for an issue shows in a Jira Smart Link is something that we totally want to do! Just haven't got around to yet. Common asks are for assignee (as you've suggested) & estimates like Story Points. We may also look to provide some of these more commonly…

Hey @Matt Richards our "Assignee" field uses Smarts to personalize the list each individual sees. This is similar to how the field works in Jira. If the person you're looking for isn't in that default list, you should be able to click into the "Assignee" field and start typing to search for the user. If the user you're…

Hey @Matt Richards thanks for raising & apologies for slow responses. We're working to create a more scalable way for our team to respond so feedback/questions don't go unanswered for as long as they have been recently. Our team will get to these questions today.

@Matt Richards what are you looking for? Would love to understand your use case more. Today, you can embed a whiteboard into a JPD idea via dropping in a link to the whiteboard (which then turns into a Smart Link). From within the whiteboard, you can also: * Import JPD ideas using the Jira importer * Convert shapes &…

@Michael Joseph Aquilina we don't currently have plans to decouple but are keen to hear feedback. If there's a strong customer need, totally something we'd look into. Would love to hear your thoughts!

@Dave Drexler totally understand. @Kalin U has shared above the sort of comms your base will receive (thanks, Kalin!). They'll essentially see an email suggesting they have new functionality they can try. It'll link off to docs where they can learn more.

Hey @Jo Leslie-McCran! Jonno from the product team here. This absolutely isn't expected during the early version. Haven't seen this before. Sorry to hear you're experiencing this. So that we can troubleshoot, can you please send through some of the following details to Abhi, one of our lead engineers at…

Hey @sheryl.adam ! Great question. At the moment, we just have the out-of-the-box templates. Over time, we'll add more via a couple of mechanisms: * Allow you to create, save and share your own custom templates * Build more out-of-the-box templates ourselves Out of interest, are there any main ones you feel are missing…

@Getjan_lammers whiteboards are only available on Confluence Cloud.

@Michael Areola you can already convert sticky notes to Jira issues across Jira Software, Jira Work Management, Jira Product Discovery & Jira Service Management (all cloud only)! You can learn more here.

@Matt Richards can you please send me an email at jkatahanas@atlassian.com with that same ask so I have your email address and can talk about what we might be able to sort out.

@C. G. unfortunately, whiteboards will be cloud only

@dave.drexler thanks for clarifying. Re; reducing blast radius of messaging, unfortunately we don't have a way to limit that on a site-by-site basis.

Hey @dave.drexler great questions! Re; will it be free forever - our current thinking is we'll have the feature available for all editions of Confluence (from Free through to Enterprise). We're going to be working through exacts of this over time. Things can change, but this is our current early-stage POV. In short, our…

@Louise Driscoll we're currently in a closed early access program with just over 200 customers. In late June / early July, we're aiming to open this up to any customer to turn on the Beta on your own instances.

Hey Gail - In terms of pricing, current thinking is we'll have the feature available for all editions of Confluence (from Free through to Enterprise). We're going to be working through exacts of this over time. Things can change, but this is our current early-stage POV.

@Peter Quick re; "Will Confluence whiteboards have capability to import drawings from other sources, like Gliffy?" - at some point in the future we hope to enable users to embed technical diagrams from places like Gliffy, Draw.io. We don't have that capability currently.

Thanks, @Andy Gladstone 🙏 Re; missing bullet --> Good catch. Sorry! I'll update. Was meant to say "Whiteboards in the space content view". For context, the space content view is the view that shows of all your space content when you clicked on the "Pages" heading above the page tree in your left navigation. Re; expanded…

Hey @Kelly Drozd 👋 That's a really good point. At the moment, we're planning to treat all whiteboards the same as pages. That would mean that if a whiteboard existed, it'd be in the content/page tree. I'll chat to the team about this as we think through the ongoing integration work. cc: @Natalie Johnson @Daniel…

Hey @Ad ! Great question. We have some improvements you should already have received or will be receiving very shortly like alignment guides and free-form resizing of text, stickies, and shapes. Beyond that, for the next couple of months our whole team is focussed on bringing whiteboards closer to Confluence (i.e. the…

Hey @Adam Benfer! Great question. We're aiming to be in GA in the second half of this calendar year. In terms of pricing, current thinking is we'll have the feature available for all editions of Confluence (from Free through to Enterprise). Within the whiteboard feature, we will likely gate some of the more advanced…
