Best first template

Architecture decision diagram for an RFC or design document.

Confluence upgrade

When the diagram belongs in a spec, runbook, ADR, or process page, install diagram.now so it stays editable beside the docs.

Choose by workflow, not by brand checklist

Lucidchart is a broad visual collaboration product. diagram.now is built for teams that want a fast free editor and an Atlassian-focused path for keeping diagrams close to Confluence pages.

Good fit for technical documentation

Use diagram.now for flowcharts, UML, ERD, BPMN, cloud architecture, network diagrams, wireframes, and planning visuals that support specs, runbooks, RFCs, and project documentation.

Start free, then bring it into Confluence

Use the browser editor for the first draft. If the diagram becomes team documentation, install diagram.now from Atlassian Marketplace and keep it editable inside Confluence.

Currently $0 for Confluence sites with up to 10 users. Bring one real diagram — Visio (.vsdx), Lucidchart, Mermaid or SQL — and we'll help you import it into Confluence in a free one-file migration session. Request migration help.
