VP 17.3 Confluence Integration

Bug Reports
1

Hi there,

my current build of VP is: 17.3 (20250906)
I have integrated our Confluence to Visual Paradigm and found a few flaws and possible fixes.

  1. Bug 1: Not all pages in a space are listed:
    It seems like some pages are not shown in Visual Paradigm
    On a first glimpse, it looks like that certain special characters allowed in Confluence Space names causing this issue.
  2. Bug 2: Pages created by Visual Paradigm can’t be edited without loosing the diagrams image.
    For what I can see, this is cause by the HTML tag (See Attachment 1) used by VP to embed the image. It’s just not supported to edit this HTML tag in the Confluence WYSIWYG editor.
    Possible solutions:
    1. Provide a free macro for Confluence that allows to create/edit/delete these HTML tags, you can then wrap the macro tag around the picture tag to support this.
      • This would enable to have multiple diagrams per page.
    2. Attach the diagram images as attachment to the page.
      • This would enable to have multiple diagrams per page.
      • This would use less space in the cloud if the diagram is used somewhere else.
  3. Feature Request 1: Update existing diagram button.
    It would be nice if the VP repository would store the information used to add an image (Page/Image metadata) to enable us to update the diagram if required.
  4. Feature Request 2: Add an “Confluence not in sync” indicator.
    For diagrams with Confluence metadata in the VP repository (from FR1) show is an Confluence not in sync indicator, if the current diagram version in Confluence is not equal to the version in VP.
  5. Feature Request 3: Automatically populate send to Confluence selector.
    If a diagram has Confluence metadata in the VP repository (from FR1) and the space + page still exist in confluence, automatically select it in the “send to Confluence selector UI”.
  6. Feature Request 4: Better Search
    A typical enterprise sized Confluence environment may has hundreds of spaces with thousands of pages per space. So either add a search field to the selector to enable searching for spaces/pages and or show the page tree in some sort of tree/leaf-hierarchy to enable easily navigate to the designated page I need a new diagram/or update a diagram.
