Add and resolve comments on diagrams in Confluence
You can add comments to diagrams, reply to and resolve comments on draw.io diagrams attached to pages in Atlassian Confluence Cloud, Data Center and Server instances, as well as comments on diagram files stored in Google Drive.
Comments work the same way in Confluence Cloud as on Data Center and Server.

- Hover over the diagram in the lightbox to see the toolbar, then click on the Comments tool (it looks like a speech bubble).
By default, only open, unresolved comments will be shown.
When you are editing the page in Confluence, you’ll see a small comment icon on the draw.io macro indicating there is an unresolved comment on this diagram.
