Diagram Versioning in Confluence: Integrated Revision History with draw.io, Not Supported by Gliffy

draw.io header

One of the advantages of Confluence is that its revision history supports audits: Each version of a page is always visible, comparable with other versions, and an earlier version can be restored, if required. There are many scenarios in which this functionality is useful, or even necessary.

But what happens with diagrams that are embedded in Confluence pages?

draw.io and Gliffy are the two most mature add-ons that support professional diagramming within Confluence. But the difference in how diagram versions are handled is massive: draw.io supports full version control integrated with Confluence’s version history, but Gliffy only has rudimentary version control within the diagram itself (not integrated with the version history in Confluence).

Enterprise News Bundle for Confluence: Support for your Custom Intranet News Strategy

News is an integral part of any intranet. This requirement is generally very important for all corporations who carry out evaluations concerning intranets. Intranets are there to keep employees informed about current issues in a timely manner. But news is not just news. There are many different ways to tackle a news concept, depending on the size of the company, company culture, and capacity within the communications department.

When, in the middle of a meeting, Martin managed to convince me to start writing blog posts, we were talking about intranets that can live independently, so to speak, because they are ‘fresh, healthy, robust, adaptable and vital’. Nearly everyone understands this metaphor in the work environment. This message is even understood during sales pitches. But its real potential, its incredible resilience, is much harder to understand and to explain.
