Standard vs Advanced edition

Standard edition is built for teams that need reliable diagramming directly inside Confluence, without requiring integration with external code repositories. It covers the full range of core diagramming needs:

  • PlantUML Diagramming – generate diagrams from diffable textual descriptions using the PlantUML language

  • GraphViz Diagramming – generate diagrams from textual descriptions using the DOT language

  • Custom Templates – define reusable diagram templates on your Confluence instance

  • Ascii Math and LaTeX Math Formulas – create mathematical equations using Ascii Math and LaTeX Math notation

  • Diagram History – review and restore previous versions of diagrams

  • Privacy – strict privacy policy, GDPR and SOC 2 compliant

  • Security – industry-grade security measures

This makes Standard a solid fit for teams whose diagrams live entirely within Confluence — architecture sketches, process flows, documentation diagrams — and who don't need to pull diagram definitions from source control.

 

Advanced edition includes everything in Standard, plus repository integrations for teams that manage their diagram source files alongside their codebase:

  • GitHub Integration – reference diagrams straight from your GitHub repositories and use !include to build diagrams from reusable, shared components

  • GitLab Integration – reference diagrams straight from your GitLab repositories and use !include to build diagrams from reusable, shared components

Advanced is the right choice for teams that want a single source of truth for diagram definitions in GitHub or GitLab, and who build modular diagrams composed of shared, reusable components across multiple pages or projects.

Adding a plantumlcloud macro to a page will present users with a dialog as shown below:

Users using Advanced edition will be presented with two additional options, each one allowing importing diagrams from GitHub and GitLab respectively.

For details on setting up and using the repository integrations, see:

Advanced edition carries a small price premium compared to Standard edition as shown below.
