Export to File SERVER | DATA CENTER CLOUD
You can export your diagram as PNG, SVG and XML (.bpmn) file. This can be done in different ways:
in page view via the export buttons located at the diagram (XML and PNG)
in diagram editor and presentation mode via “more“ submenu → Export (XML, PNG and SVG)
Furthermore, the table representation of the diagram can be exported as a CSV file via “more“ submenu → Export to .csv while in table mode or export this CSV file directly as a table to the current Confluence page.
Export to GitLab SERVER | DATA CENTER CLOUD
and GitHub SERVER | DATA CENTER CLOUD
You may also want to export your BPMN diagram to a remote repository. A prerequisite is that the app is connected to your VCS.
To open the export dialog, press the arrow right next to the save symbol → Push diagram to VCS.
The appearing dialog is very similar to the “Import from VCS” dialog. Simply select your repository, a branch, and an existing file. If you would like to create a new file, select “As new File” and enter the file path, ending with the file’s name. The screenshot below illustrates this dialogue using GitLab as an example:
Remember that for each diagram, it is possible to specify a default repository, branch, and file via the diagram settings.
Confluence Page Export to PDF or Word SERVER | DATA CENTER CLOUD
As you probably already know, you can export Confluence pages to PDF or Word by clicking on the context menu (…) at the top right when visting a Confluence page and then choosing the desired export option. The exported document will contain the diagram’s title and its visualization, which is loaded as PNG. The PNG is created and saved in the Confluence page’s attachments each time you save the BPMN diagram in the diagram editor.
Troubleshooting: Below the generated BPMN visualization within your generated PDF or Word document you may find a warning stating that “the displayed version might not be the current diagram version”. This may happen when the diagram was saved in the editor, but due to network issues, no PNG was saved in the Confluence page’s attachments. When generating the document, the BPMN Modeler will look for a PNG attachment in the version that’s currently displayed in the diagram viewer when viewing the Confluence page. If the BPMN Modeler cannot find a PNG attachment in the requested version, it will load the latest version that it can find and display the warning.
To fix this warning, you can export the current diagram version as PNG, navigate to the Confluence page’s attachments and upload the PNG manually until the version number that’s shown in the diagram viewer matches the PNG version.
