Outcome

Draw.io selected as the tool of choice

Background

We regularly create diagrams as part of every day work. Often these are embedded in Confluence.

The team has, over time, gravitated towards Draw.io / Diagrams.net as the tool of choice, for it's flexibility, accessibility and simplicity.

However, it was not possible to embed editable draw.io diagrams into Confluence.

The app now installed facilitates this, elegantly.

Relevant data

We went through a process of evaluation of other products: Figma and Gliffy for example

We also went through DITAG and compliance check-listing. And were advised to proceed
