Embedding Cloudcraft Diagrams with the Confluence App

In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of seamlessly integrating your current Cloudcraft diagrams into a Confluence page by using Cloudcraft’s Confluence app.

This process allows you to grant access to diagrams for authorized users without requiring them to have individual Cloudcraft subscriptions, while also granting you a centralized and up-to-date version of your infrastructure documentation.

Installing the app

To install Cloudcraft’s Confluence application, log in to Confluence as an admin, navigate to the Cloudcraft marketplace listing, and then click Get it now.
