Mind Maps & Hierarchy Diagrams in Confluence with Mermaid (Copy-Paste)
The kickoff note is 40 lines of indented bullets with three levels of bolded sub-points, and half the room is still asking "so what are we actually deciding today?" The other half is screenshotting a mind map someone whiteboarded in five minutes. The whiteboard died at cleanup; the bullets survived but nobody can navigate them. A mind map is the readable version of nested notes — and when it lives in Confluence as Mermaid text, it survives the meeting.
Quick answer: turn nested notes into a Mermaid mindmap in Confluence, rendered by Mermaid Plus for Confluence. The indented text you already write becomes the branches; for concrete structures — folder layouts, project trees — use treeView; when item size matters and you want area instead of lines, use treemap. This post gives you three copy-paste examples.
