The diagram is a type that only Capable's rendering service can draw, and external diagram rendering is turned off on your site.

#What you are seeing

When

Showing the last saved image. This diagram type needs enhanced diagram rendering.

The diagram has a saved image. It shows, but does not redraw.

Needs enhanced diagram rendering: This diagram type is drawn by Capable's rendering service, which is turned off for this site.

There is no saved image to show.

#What to do

  • If you are a Confluence admin, turn on External diagram rendering in Global settings, Diagrams, General. The message says: "Turn on Enhanced diagram rendering in the Diagrams settings to draw it live."

  • If you are not, ask an admin. The message says: "A Confluence admin can turn on Enhanced diagram rendering in the Diagrams settings."

  • If your organisation keeps the service off on purpose, redraw the diagram in a type drawn in the browser, such as Mermaid or PlantUML.

#A few things worth knowing

  • The overlay can be dismissed, but the diagram will not redraw until the switch is on.

  • PlantUML that includes files from outside the standard library also needs the service.

  • A diagram with no saved image was probably created on another site or before it was ever viewed.

Not broken. Switched off.
