A shorter path to a useful diagram
Try it before your team installs it
Open the editor or inspect a real example first. Install the Confluence Cloud app only when you are ready to create and edit diagrams on Confluence pages.
Open a real editor
Start a blank diagram immediately in the browser, without installing the Confluence app.
Choose the right visual
Use the same editor for process, software, data, infrastructure, planning, and interface diagrams.
Diagram in Confluence
Install from Atlassian Marketplace to create and update diagrams directly on Confluence Cloud pages.
Recorded on a real site
See it on a real Confluence page
No mockups. We recorded this on our own Confluence Cloud test site on 27 September 2026 with diagram.now 3.0.0, then the version on Atlassian Marketplace.
- Type
/diagram.nowon a Confluence page. - Draw the diagram in the full editor, or import Mermaid.
- Publish from the editor, then update the page.
- Readers see the diagram on the published page.
Runs on Atlassian
Atlassian Marketplace shows the Runs on Atlassian badge on diagram.now’s Cloud listing. Atlassian applies that badge automatically to apps that use only Atlassian-hosted compute and storage and don’t send data out of Atlassian, apart from analytics. diagram.now’s app permissions list no external domains.

AI that stays inside Atlassian
Generated on our own Confluence Cloud test site on 12 October 2026 with diagram.now 3.3.0, the version on Atlassian Marketplace. We typed this prompt into Build with AI:
“Serverless web app on AWS: CloudFront in front of API Gateway, which calls a Lambda function that reads and writes a DynamoDB table.”
About 27 seconds later, the editor showed an editable diagram: CloudFront routes requests to API Gateway, which invokes a Lambda function that reads from and writes to DynamoDB. We then published it on the page.
Where diagram.now’s AI runs
It calls Claude models that Atlassian hosts, through Atlassian’s Forge LLMs. Atlassian says Forge LLMs add AI features “without leaving the Atlassian platform”. diagram.now’s Marketplace listing shows the Runs on Atlassian badge for version 3.3.0, and the app’s permissions list no external domains.
What draw.io’s documentation says
draw.io’s AI models page says it “uses OpenAI, Claude or Gemini, selecting the best model based on the type of diagram you are trying to generate.” By default, “only the user’s text prompt is sent to the AI provider (Anthropic)”; diagram data is sent only when you attach it. The AI is “disabled by default in Confluence, and must be explicitly enabled per Confluence instance.”

Straight answers
Before you install
Is diagram.now free for Confluence?
Yes for Confluence Cloud sites with up to 10 users. Atlassian Marketplace shows the current price for larger sites.
Can I try it without Confluence?
Yes. The browser editor and public examples open without a Confluence installation.
Which diagrams can I create?
Flowcharts, UML, BPMN, ERDs, cloud and network architecture, mind maps, org charts, and wireframes are all available.
Is the Data Center migration guide still available?
Yes. The separate Data Center migration guide remains available for that narrower migration task.
Start with the diagram, not a sales form
Open the editor now, then install the Confluence app when the workflow fits your team.
