Searching on confluence whiteboard

[Stevie Musk - Service Assurance Manager]

Hi there,

I am using ctrl-F in Chrome when on my whiteboard. I am searching for words that are present on my whiteboard, however, it does not return any results. Is this a known issue or is it something I am doing wrong?

We were hoping to create a searchable mindmap, but I am not sure it will work without being able to search it.

Hey @Stevie Musk - Service Assurance Manager unfortunately searching content on a whiteboard isn't yet possible. I can totally understand your use case though. We definitely want to bring this capability to the product in the feature 🙏

Hi Christina,

Many thanks for your reply.

Will there be the option to request features at some point? Will this be on the roadmap?

[Christina Ristevski]

@Stevie Musk - Service Assurance Manager what other features would you like to request? This is definitely on our roadmap, however likely won't land for a couple of months.

Thanks for this post and comments. Definately will be helpful to search text on a whiteboard, esp large ones

@Stevie Musk - Service Assurance Manager can't answer to your question in the comments below, so replying to your original question.

I have an overflow menu (...) at the top right corner of my Confluence Whiteboard. In that menu I have a "Give feedback" option, where you can post feature requests and bugs via chat.

I've started communication about a handful of topics so far, but only 1 has received a reply, so not sure how actively it's tracked.
For other Atlassian products, there's public backlogs / forums with defects and feature requests, which sometimes stay open for years even though they get lots of votes, so not getting my hopes up.
