Embed whiteboard diagrams on confluence (how to cut and edit)

[Lee N]

Hey!

A question to whiteboards users.

How to embed just a part of my diagram created in the whiteboards plugin on to my Confluence page and make edits to this diagram directly on this page without leaving it?

I want to be able to re-use my huge chart with lots of objects on different docs, but I don't want to create several pictures. Looks like I saw something like this on one meet-up, but I can't get how it was done.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Lee N

I assume you mean Whiteboards for Confluence. So to embed just a part of a whiteboard into your Confluence page you can set a custom viewport. In order to do so, while you are on your selected board click the button in the top right corner (see screenshot below):

 

Once you click this option, you can then highlight the part of the board you want to display on your Confluence page. Finally, go back to confluence and you will see the selected part embedded.

I hope it helps but please let me know if I can help any further.

For more information about the Whiteboards, you can also check our documentation.

Many thanks,

I don't have the custom viewpoint icon available.   Is there some sort of macro I need to install?  I am using Atlassian Whiteboards in Confluence.  Currently in Alpha version.

Thanks in advance,
