Embed a draw.io diagram and show different layers

[Jérôme Leclère]

My goal:

• I have a main page with a draw.io diagram. This diagram contains several items in the background layer, and several items on other layers.
• On the main page I would like to see only the background layer.
• Then I would like to embed this diagram on other Confluence pages, and for each page show by default the background layer and an additional layer.

But it is not working. I saw the page https://drawio-app.com/blog/filter-diagrams-by-page-and-layers-in-confluence-server/, I do the same thing (although my interface is a bit different), but it's not working.

Example:

Here is my main diagram:

If I show only the background layer in the main diagram, then:

• My main page is correct:

• My other page embedding the diagram is not correct since I don't see the other layers:

• Here is how I do to activate the layer in the other page:

If I select the layer I want and click on Insert, then it shows correctly the layers in the edit mode, but if I edit again the diagram right after the other layers are deactivated, so it does not keep it in memory. And if I publish, I obtain the picture shown above.

Am I missing something?

Hi Jérôme.

I created video for you to show you how specific layer(s) can be displayed in embedded pages. 

Looks like you tried to edit drawio instead edit drawio macro. 

Please take a look and let me know if it helps. Since there is gif upload limit size I had to make video as short as possible and also had to reduce its size which resulted in low quality. 

I added images in case you are not able to see video details.

Than you very much Marija for the detailed video!

Indeed, I was doing Edit instead of Edit Macro and Select viewer page and layers.
