Introducing Confluence whiteboards! 🎉

[Mafalda Prisco]

Feature request! Please allow comments in the whiteboard!

[Gabriella Molnar-Tóth]

Hi, we are using it already and would love to be able to use it on mobile as well. On the ipad.

By when is it planned to have a mobile version?

[Diala Al-Khawaldeh]

When will it be available? We join the waitlist long time ago

[Gomez, Daniel]

does this work with confluence mobile?

[Fatih Uysal]

How can I disable the activated beta feature for Whiteboards in Confluence Cloud Production?

[Jeremy Smythe]

Hi, I just got notified whiteboards got activated for my users. Is there a way to turn it off?

[James Fama]

Good afternoon Atlassian Community,

When the "Whiteboards" - https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/whiteboards will be available for public? 

Thank you,

James

[Tami Dubi]

Hi,

1. Can we create organizational whiteboard templates?

2. When will a group option be available to group several objects? This function is a basic essential in whiteboards/draw software.

3. When can you include a page or use blog macro in a whiteboard? The connectivity and updates should be from Jira and other Confluence information.

Thanks,

Tami

[Beatris]

FigJam menu is that you?😃

[Craig Perkinson]

How does one control access to the whiteboards? I'd like certain people to review the use before releasing it (and subsequent notification) to the masses.

[Asha Goyal]

Really Nice feature. Thanks @Atlassian BC

[Lisa Zanini]

@Jonno Katahanas 

Any news about how the pricing will be yet? We are hesitant to have everyone start working with this, in case it later turns into a paid feature...

[Jonathan Blackburn]

Hello,

Are Whiteboards something that our Admin had to enable, or was it automatically done for all of our users? What is the cost of this feature and, if it was enabled automatically by Atlassian, how may we switch it off?

Thanks.

[Ed Osborn]

@Jonathan Blackburn it's still in Beta so an administrator would have had to enable it, but once they enable it in your instance it will be available for all users. Currently no cost, I don't believe they have stated yet where there will eventually be an additional cost or it will be rolled into standard/premium/enterprise plans. 

[Matthias Wohlgemuth]

The whiteboard should not be able to "only" Post-It. I also want to be able to create mindmaps (with closing and expanding), processes according to BPMN 2.0 and organisation diagrams and link to Jira Tasks and Confluence pages.

[Helen C]

I'm very interested in this for our workplace has anyone tried it out yet. I am interested to know how it compares to Miro. I'm wondering if it could replace Miro. 

Also are there any demos available without signing on to beta - we cannot do this due to the security features not available in beta due to the type of work and customer we have. 

[Jim McNeill]

Commenting here as feedback from the board jams up😑

Loving the whiteboards as an integral part of Confluence, and the ease of interacting with Jira in particular. I'd like to suggest a few enhancements:

• Links - other than Jira or Trello, when I drop a link on the board it ends up as text. Can't other links do cards too?
• Stamps - can you anchor them to the element they're dropped on, so they don't get left behind if you move the element?
• How about creating a Trello ticket from a sticky too,  not just Jira?

Otherwise - great work folks!

[Thomas DAMME]

Hello @Jonno Katahanas

I'm using Whiteboards right now and it is simple and good. One thing is annoying for my usecase: text is always vertically aligned in the middle of a text field. I would like to have it at the top of the text field.

Is there a feature wishlist, where we can vote for improvements?

Thank you,

Thomas

[Sven Hanten]

Since Whiteboards are available now, how can I export a PDF or Image from the whiteboard content.

Br, Sven

[Dave Adams]

Struggling to understand this differs (functionality-wise) from the Appfire jira whiteboards, anyone got a good resource that compares the two?

[Maria Emilia Sosa]

Hi @Jonno Katahanas !
I've been testing Confluence Whiteboards, and they are amazing!!
Just one question, is there already a release date for GA (General Availability)? I want to ensure I'm well-prepared for that so I can inform users in my organization ahead of time.

[Katarina Schagerberg]

Love the whiteboard, even if it is in Beta still!

However, one feature that is really missing for us is the capability of adding clickable Jira-links from Jira Data center to our Confluence Cloud on the Whiteboard. It works on a regular page, but not on the Whiteboard.

It is not as fancy as the Jira Cloud card, but still it is clickable. If I paste a link to Jira Data Center-tickets in Confluence Cloud Whiteboard only results in a text (not clickable). See the rightmost window in the attached image.

I had a chat with your colleague Danush recently and heard that this is only available for Jira Cloud as of now.

But we don't have Jira Cloud and might not be able to migrate to it either, due to special DC requirements.

Could you please let me know when this might available? 

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,

Katarina

[Aaron Collyer]

Will the ability to include in the action to attach the card to a Parent (or Epic) 

This would allow you to have Epics as Sections and Cards as tasks and stories and they would be organise. 

So you would have a working Visual Story map connected to our Roadmap and Sprint planning.

Hi there! Can I import workflows from Figma (figjam files) into Whiteboard?

[Alexander Herz]

This looks pretty good and could replace miro.
Will there be more shapes available somehow (plugin/future updates)? 

Having played with it the lack of more shapes is my only complaint. 
Things like curly brackets, documents, database symbols etc.
