Note that diagram versions imported from another Confluence page are not directly published on the Confluence page, even if you entered the diagram editor from the Confluence page view. You can change this by clicking Publish this version now in the message box showing up directly after the import. For more information on how versions are published on the Confluence page please refer to the section "Published and Unpublished Versions" of this manual.

BPMN diagrams can also be imported from your Version Control System (VCS), currently supported are GitLab or Bitbucket. This way, you can always pull in the latest revision that lies in GitLab your VCS and keep on modeling straight away in Confluence - no need to switch tools!
To import a diagram from GitLab or Bitbucket, you need to perform these 3 steps (steps 1 & 2 only need to be done once to set up the GitLab VCS connection):
Ask your Confluence administrator to establish a connection between Confluence and GitLab or Bitbucket resp. in the app configuration of the BPMN Modeler Enterprise. While this is not yet done, you see a message like this message when opening the Import from GitLab VCS dialog. An article for admins how to establish a connection can be found in this manual in Features for Confluence Admins.
After the global configuration of the GitLab VCS connection, you will be asked to authenticate your GitLab account once: After that you will be able to use your own GitLab account to load .bpmn files, and thus will only see projects and files you have the right permissions for.
Finally, you are able to import your diagram from GitLabyour Version Control System: In the BPMN Editor go to File > Import from GitLab, there VCS, choose GitlAb or Bitbucket on the left tabbar. Now you can search for a project, choose a git branch or tag and select a .bpmn file from there. To be sure, you can load a preview of the selected diagram from GitLab, or you can compare it with the latest version of the BPMN diagram in Confluence (if one exists), to see the differences.
...
IMPORTANT: The diagram will be copied once from GitLab or Bitbucket to Confluence. If you make changes in Confluence, it will not be synchronized back to GitLabthe VCS. Likewise, changes and new versions from GitLab your VCS are not automatically copied to Confluence.
...
Optional: It might happen that you import the same diagram from the same source multiple times, or even in a regular manner. For this cases, you can save your search/configuration from the Import from GitLab VCS dialog as diagram settings. If you do so, these settings are suggested as a preselection the next time you come to Import from GitLabVCS. However, they can still be changed before importing the diagram. They are only meant to save you time when you are often using the same configuration.
The default GitLab and Bitbucket sources can also be managed in the Diagram Settings ( File > Settings).
