Helpful resources for everyone exploring Confluence Whiteboards

[G subramanyam]

Hello Atlassian community,

I've been seeing great questions about Confluence Whiteboards, especially from those just getting started. It's a fantastic tool for collaborative brainstorming, and to help everyone get up and running quickly, I wanted to share a few key official resources that cover some of the most common topics.

Whether you're new to whiteboards or just want to brush up on a feature, these links are a great place to start:

1. Getting Started with Confluence Whiteboards

 This is the ultimate guide to get you oriented with the tool. It's a comprehensive walkthrough that covers the basics, from understanding the interface to collaborating with your team.

2. Create a New Whiteboard

 Creating your first whiteboard is super simple, and this quick guide shows you exactly how to do it. You can start with a blank canvas or use one of the many templates available to jumpstart your session.

3. Turn Ideas into Action

This is one of the most powerful features of Confluence Whiteboards. Once you've finished brainstorming, you can turn your ideas directly into actionable tasks in Jira, creating a seamless flow from ideation to execution.

@G subramanyam I was going to give you a bit of a rant that confluence whiteboards won't work for us since they lack (or should I say lacked bulk resizing of elements). But I see now that it works so big thanks to you and the atlassian whiteboarding team for getting this fixed. Its a total game changer for us white boarders. 💕

Thank you @G subramanyam 

As an extension to this discussion, if you’d like to dive deeper into Confluence Whiteboards, I’ve created a step-by-step guide on how users can go from brainstorming to actionable Jira issues using Whiteboards and Atlassian Intelligence. I’ve also put together resources on using Advanced Roadmaps for team planning and tracking, and on leveraging Confluence Databases to organize and link information, helping teams get the most out of these connected tools.
