Teams need to draw in Confluence — architecture sketches on design docs, wireframes on user stories, flowcharts on runbooks, whiteboard sessions captured as diagrams. Confluence has no built-in drawing tool.

Several marketplace apps fill this gap, from the dominant draw.io (66,827 installs) to specialized Excalidraw-based whiteboards. We built Excalidraw Plus Whiteboards for Confluence to bring the popular Excalidraw drawing tool into Confluence with 229 bundled shape libraries and Mermaid import. In this post we compare it against the alternatives.
