drag and drop the file directly onto the diagram editor canvas

Import from Bitbucket SERVER | DATA CENTER,
GitLab SERVER | DATA CENTER SERVER | DATA CENTER,
and GitHub SERVER | DATA CENTER Cloud
DMN diagrams can also be imported from your Version Control System (VCS). This way, you can always pull in the latest revision that lies in your VCS and keep on modeling straight away in Confluence - no need to switch tools!
To import a diagram from your VCS, you need to open the diagram editor go to “more” submenu → Import → Import from VCS, and choose your respective VCS. Now you can search for a repository, choose a git branch or tag, and select a .dmn file from there.
IMPORTANT: The diagram will be copied once from the VCS to Confluence. If you make changes in Confluence, it will not be synchronized back to the VCS. Likewise, changes and new versions from 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 these cases, you can save your search/configuration from the Import from VCS dialog as diagram settings. If you do so, these settings are suggested as a preselection the next time you come to Import from VCS. 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 VCS sources can also be managed in the Diagram Settings (gear icon).
