Asked by Corinna F?hring:

Hello i do want to create a pictue of the WBS of the Projects on a confluence page. Instead of attaching a file , could i make something like a Smart art in Confluence ? Is there a function like the Smart Art Graphic Function in Word ? to create such a picture ??

body: If what you are looking for is editable artwork that automatically updates, then [Lucidchart](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.lucidchart.confluence.plugins.lucid-confluence/cloud/overview), [draw.io](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.mxgraph.confluence.plugins.diagramly/cloud/overview) and [Gliffy](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.gliffy.integration.confluence/cloud/overview) (and probably other options) can do something like that.

body: is there also something cost free ? it must not automatically update , just as the smart arts in Office that would be fine already


author: Milo Test
body: I don't know of any free graphic add-ons for Confluence. Can you describe more of exactly what you are trying to accomplish? Maybe show a screenshot of something produced in Office that you want to replicate.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: I'd agree with Milo on this - there's nothing free that would do this easily, and most users would reach for Gliffy or Lucidchart to do it. It should also be possible with the Graphviz or UML add-ons, but again, paid options.

If you've got some of the free formatting add-ons for Confluence, you could probably build something that can represent this in tables, but it won't be a diagram like that.

body: thanks wich free formatting add ons for Confluence are you talking about ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The one that springs to mind is the Adaptavist "content formatting" ones - they contain things like lozenge macros that can help you colour and reformat text.  

But that could be a bit of an advert, as I work for them. You'll have to take my word for it that I'd have said the same even if I didn't work there. (Even though they're free, there are advanced functions in there that are paid)


author: Corinna F?hring
body: ok is there any page I could download it ? or is it shipped with Confluence ?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Best option is to use "find new add-ons" in the add-on management section of Confluence in the admin section


author: Corinna F?hring
body: great thanks
