How to do a group resizing for sticky in Whiteboard

[Chip Lee Ooi]

I created a PI Planning whiteboard using the templated provided. 

I would like to resize a group of sticky such that I and paste more sticky over each one of them.

Hi everyone,

My name is Ethan and I'm one of the product managers responsible for Confluence Whiteboards. I'm pleased to share with you all that bulk resizing is now available in Confluence Whiteboards!

This applies not only to stickies, but all kinds of elements on the whiteboard. It's certainly been a long time coming for what we know is a table-stakes feature in digital whiteboard products. 

In case you missed it, check out this update, and a ton more awesome announcements in last month's roundup of recent feature releases my colleague @Em Ditchfield posted in the Atlassian Community Whiteboards forum: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Confluence-Whiteboards-articles/May-2025-Whiteboard-Updates/ba-p/3040812 

The team and I would love to hear from you how you are finding this feature. 

In addition to simply commenting here, you can also share your feedback with us on resizing, or anything and everything Confluence Whiteboards, via:

• Our in-product feedback collector (we read all the feedback!)
• Directly to my email at eyew@atlassian.com
• Booking some time to chat with my team and me over a call (if it's easier to just chat about it): https://www.getclockwise.com/c/eyew-atlassian-com/quick-meeting

Works flawlessly even with many different elements ! 👍🎉

[Em Ditchfield]

Hey @Chip Lee Ooi, sorry you've come up against this limitation. Resizing multiple objects at once isn't currently possible but it's a feature we hope to bring to you in the medium term. I've noted down your feedback for the team. Thanks!

Hi! I'd like to vote for this feature. After you have created dozens and dozens of objects it's really painful to resize things, and it makes me almost regret to have started using the Confluence Whiteboard :-/

[Lucas Gobato dos Santos]

It is a really incapacitating and frustrating limitation :/

I hope it comes real soon.

[Lucas Gobato dos Santos]

On the pros, thanks for the work so far, I love how fluid the experience is, really great.

[Maurice Camps]

I second that, it's very frustrating, especially with the max zoom limitation since some people just setup their boards too large.

[Joacim Lunde]

@Em Ditchfield Any news on this? Trying to migrate our boards over from Miro but the scale is huge and we would need to scale everything on the boards. Thousands of elements over about 100 boards, making this a bit of a blocker for us.

[andy_johnston]

Yeah, this is a show stopper for us to pick up Confluence Whiteboard - it's crazy limiting!

[Maurice Camps]

Yes, I echo that. It's also a big issue for us.

1000%. This is #1 reason I keep going back to miro.

Welcome to the Atlassian community @Chip Lee Ooi !

Where you would like to add the stickies, to which sections? ROAM, Team boards...etc?

[Chip Lee Ooi]

the PI planing template created in the whiteboard. I would like to resize a group of sticky with the text type into them

[Nikola Perisic]

Stickies in a group cannot be resized sadly, you can only resize a sticky by sticky.

[Belinda]

This is really sad.. Is this something you are planning on adding as a feature?
Resizing all stickies, or stickies in a group make the management of whiteboards much easier. 

[Ishmael A.]

was excited to try using the whiteboard, but because of this limitation, going back to using miro

[Nigel Bennett]

The absence of the ability to quickly select multiple objects and resize them or to group objects makes Whiteboards in Confluence pretty pointless, it's basic functionality, even MS Whiteboard allows multi-select and resize (although not grouping yet). Back to Miro then.
