Whiteboards: What Is Migrated, What Is Not
Supported and unsupported features of the whiteboard migration.
Whiteboards
WikiTraccs migrates Confluence Cloud whiteboards as image, optionally plus a draw.io file attachment.
WikiTraccs can migrate Confluence Cloud whiteboards to SharePoint. There are two independent modes that can be combined:
- Whiteboard as image: the whiteboard becomes a static image on the migrated SharePoint page.
- Whiteboard as draw.io file: the whiteboard content is converted to a draw.io diagram file and added as a page attachment. This conversion is experimental and best effort: expect converted diagrams to need manual rework, and expect the conversion to fail entirely for some whiteboards.
Gray Feature
Both modes rely on mechanisms that are not documented as supported by Atlassian: the image export drives the whiteboard user interface in an automated browser session, and the draw.io conversion reads internal Confluence Cloud endpoints. A change on Atlassian’s side can break them at any time. See Gray Settings.What you get
The whiteboard keeps its position in the page tree: it becomes a SharePoint page that shows the exported image. With the draw.io mode enabled, the page additionally gets a .drawio file attachment.
Requirements
- Confluence Cloud only. Whiteboards are a Confluence Cloud feature.
- Interactive Login is required for both modes. API tokens and anonymous access do not work.
- A locally installed Chrome or Edge browser. WikiTraccs drives it to open and export the whiteboard (see Adding Edge Browser Support).
Whiteboard export failures do not fail or stop page migration; check the migration log.
