Import to whiteboards

Whiteboards currently only support PDF or image file importing.

1. Navigate to the whiteboard where you wish to import the image or PDF. You can use an existing whiteboard or start a new one.

2. You can import your content in two ways:

   1. Drag your image or file into your whiteboard.

   2. On the toolbar, select the More menu ( … ), select Whiteboard import, navigate to your file, and select it.

3. Select your content type.

4. The import process will complete.

 

When should I recreate my content in Confluence whiteboards vs. uploading a static image?

For projects that are still in progress and continue to be iterated on, we recommend importing as an image and recreating the areas that require additional editing and changes.

For projects that are completed, but may need to be referenced in the future, we recommend importing as an image. The content will then live in Confluence whiteboards as the new source of record.
