With this feature users can create reusable templates out of their PlantUML diagrams. Those templates can then be used to quickly create similar diagrams. Templates are stored as attachments on pre-configured Confluence page. Because of this, template permissions are set on page level. Admin can create company-wide templates or user-specific ones simply by setting access to the page containing Template attachments.

Pre-requisites

User must have PlantUML settings enabled before continuing with Custom Templates setup. User will need to perform one-click automatic setup before continuing. Only diagrams created after November 2022 can be used as templates because of the new SVG format.

Setup

PlantUML Templates require “Template Root Page” to be created. It can be stored in any Space with proper access permissions. Note that PlantUML settings create separate space and you can use that space to store PlantUML Templates too. Just create separate Page for “Template Root Page”, do not use existing page in that Space. All Child pages of “Template Root Page” represent template categories. Each category is one entry in editor’s Templates popup. By setting access permissions to each page Admin can restrict access to some Template categories. This means every user can have it’s private templates and shared public Templates.
