Import Mural boards in Confluence whiteboards
Whiteboards aren’t available in Atlassian Government environments.
Bring your Mural content to Confluence whiteboards and collaborate seamlessly with your team.
Import whiteboards from Mural into Confluence to unlock features such as smart connectors, smart sections, real-time editing, and experience brainstorming. Plus, you can keep everything organized with your whiteboards conveniently stored alongside your other Confluence content.
Export your Mural board
In Mural, open the board you wish to export.
Open the export menu in the top-left corner of the board, then select Download mural, or right-click on your board’s background and select Download.
Select the PDF Format and the selection of content you would like to export (All content, Selection, or Outline),
Select Download. Select a location to save your file.
For more information on exporting Mural boards, see the Mural support documentation.
You must Save as PDF. This will let you import editable elements to your Confluence whiteboard.
Import to whiteboards
Whiteboards currently only support PDF or image file importing.
Navigate to the whiteboard where you wish to import the image or PDF. You can use an existing whiteboard or start a new one.
You can import your content in two ways:
Drag your image or file into your whiteboard.
On the toolbar, select the More menu ( … ), select Whiteboard import, navigate to your file, and select it.
Select your content type.
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.

Limitations
Some limitations and differences between your Mural board and Confluence whiteboard will occur.
Importing comments is not supported, but you can comment on Confluence whiteboards.
Colors will be mapped to the closest Confluence whiteboards colors.
Connections will not import, but they can be recreated in Confluence whiteboards.
Rotated elements will import unrotated. However, if it’s an unsupported element, too-small shape, un-cropped image, or a sticker, then it will import rotated.
Shapes supported in whiteboards will import as shapes. Shapes that are not supported will import as images.
Locked elements will not remain locked when imported, but you can manually lock them in Confluence whiteboards.
Whiteboards have a 10,000 element limit.
Importing may take longer than a minute for boards with many elements, large images, or a lot of content.
