Mermaid option not available inside Draw.io in Confluence

Ken Gunadi May 16, 2025

Hello,

 

I'm using draw.io inside Confluence, but did not see the Mermaid option at all under the Advanced menu.

Please refer to the screenshot below.

 

What does it take to have the Mermaid option? I'm on the free version of Confluence.

 

Any hints would be appreciated, I've been googling for days without clear answer.

 

Thank you so much.

Ken

Hello @Ken Gunadi 

I don't get your question, in the screen capture you have the possibility to select the Mermaid syntax to describe a diagram. The action link is below the "image..." and above "Template..."

:face_palm: 

Thank you for pointing that out!

I was so focused on what I found by googling, all of the article points to Advanced > Mermaid, which is why I focused there.

Thank you again, I think that's what I was looking for.

Thanks @Cyrille Martin for the quick response. But I also like to thank you @Ken Gunadi for pointing that out. Actually, we moved the feature from the Advanced section to the Insert menu, but it seems we didn't update all of our content sources. We will take care of that asap :)

@Bastian -drawio Diagrams- I am looking at a PlantUML Confluence migration from Confluence DC to Cloud and I thought maybe:

 

PlantUML -> convert to Mermaid -> use our draw.io app. However the docs say  "To change the original Mermaid syntax, first delete the previously inserted shapes, and re-enter the Mermaid description of your diagram by repeating the steps above." and this is many more steps overall that just the markup inside a macro. Any plans to implement better support?

That's draw.io docs? Can you link them?

Overall, there's no migration route from PlantUML on DC to draw.io on confluence cloud that isn't very painful, using a PlantUML app on cloud is much cleaner.
