Most compatible diagramming plug-in with Scroll product
We're looking at products like Draw.io and Gliffy. Which such plug-in works best with Scroll Versions and the PDF and HTML exporters? I notice that there are some open issues with Draw.io and Versions.

Hi William,
Thanks for reaching out. In general both add-ons have the same limitations: If you have links within your diagram pointing to your authoring space, those links will not be redirected to the published space (see https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-1775). Unfortunately there's currently not much we can do about that, as we'd need to transform the links within the diagram files.
Additionally we have a known issue with Draw.io displaying 404 pages in certain scenarios, which is tracked here: https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-3030
I'd suggest to install both add-ons using a free evaluation license and play around a bit with your specific use case (as said above the limitation with links occurs in both add-ons unfortunately).
We internally prefer draw.io, as it works better with page revisions (e.g. Gliffy diagrams still show the previous version of the diagram if you roll back in the Confluence page history to a previous page revision).
Best,

Hi Nils,
I have a question on Scroll Versions' integration with draw.io too. I see this issue about Gliffy be published to a remote system: https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VSN-2013. Is there a similar issue with draw.io too? Or maybe it is already fixed for draw.io?
Thanks!

Hi Roy.
I have tested the behaviour with Draw.io and it currently works the same way as Gliffy. Scroll Versions doesn’t publish .png image of the diagram, but rather the macro.
I have edited the Jira issue to reflect this.
Cheers,
Roman.
