Multi page diagrams
A draw.io diagram can contain several pages, which is the right way to hold a set of related views: an overview and its detail, or one page per environment.
On the Confluence page, readers can switch between pages when the macro is in Classic display mode.
#What this is for
An overview diagram with detail pages behind it.
One diagram per environment, kept together.
A set of related views you want to keep in one place.
#How it works
Action | How |
|---|---|
Add a page | The plus button on the page tabs at the bottom of the editor. |
Rename | Double-click a page tab. |
Reorder | Drag the tabs. |
Reader switching | Available in Classic display mode on the page. |
Link between pages | Right-click a shape, Edit Link, and pick a page in this file. |
#A few things that catch people out
Readers only get page switching in Classic display mode. In other modes they see the first page.
Every page is in one file, so they version together. That is usually what you want.
Do not use pages as a filing system. Three or four is sensible; twenty is a folder.
