Disable the Simple Viewer for a draw.io diagram in Confluence
In Confluence, the draw.io Simple Viewer prevents all interaction and hides the diagram toolbar when viewing a diagram on a Confluence page. Instead of an interactive diagram, it displays a simple PNG image - you can’t click on links, step through pages or enable/disable layers.
To turn this Simple Viewer off and allow users to interact with the draw.io diagram when reading a Confluence page, you need to edit the draw.io diagram.
- Edit the Confluence page.
- Edit the draw.io diagram that is currently using the simple viewer.
- In the draw.io editor, make sure nothing in your diagram is selected, then deselect Simple Viewer from the Diagram tab in the panel on the right.
- Save the diagram, and publish the Confluence page to save your changes.
