      Status Update 10 September 2024

      Hi everyone,

      I'm Yuan from the Media team. I'm excited to share that we've released this feature! A big thank you for your patience and all the feedback that helped us enhance the SVG experience in Atlassian products. I'll be closing this ticket for now.

       

      Best regards,

      Status Update 02 November 2023

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks so much for your patience. We apologise for the delay in providing an update. Good news - We implemented a new SVG rendering engine in October 2023.

      This new engine aims to provide a significantly improved viewing experience for SVGs. It resolves compatibility issues such as the lack of support for the SVG 1.2 standard, text dropping in certain scenarios, and poor rendering on mermaid diagrams, etc. To take advantage of this enhanced preview experience, we kindly request that you reattach your existing SVG attachments.

      We are eager to receive your valuable feedback on the new SVG rendering experience. If you would like to discuss the new experience, my calendar is always open for booking a 1:1 Zoom call - https://calendly.com/yuan_zhuang/30min

      For the next phase, our team will evaluate the possibility of incorporating native rendering for SVGs. We appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing more updates soon.

      All the best,

      Yuan | PM on the Atlassian Media team

       

      Internally, we are having discussion how to collaborate "graphically".
      Currently, we use attachments of various source types (PPT, Visio, whathaveyou). Once we reach a somewhat stable version, these are exported into jpg/gif which in turn is embedded into the respective page.

      It would be very nice, if we could embed objects which are not only bitmaps.
      I see these options

      1 Render the attachments. Out document management system does this. This is really neat, as you can preview PDF, Doc, PPT without having to launch the application. However this is a dead end collaboration wise.

      2 Support additional mime formats, e.g. SVG.
      If we can agree on using SVG for illustrations, we can use this for both display and storage. Change to Confluence should be minimal.
      2.1 Support in-place editing as described in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_whiteboard or an "etch-a-sketch" Confluence. This should by 2nd stage.

      Bottom line:

      • Please provide support for embedded SVG
      • Consider including in place SVG editing, once appropriate browser / applet support is available.

      Extra Feature:
      It would be very nice if animated SVG is supported when this feature rolled out.

      Workaround

      • Confluence 5.7 new feature named File preview have the ability to render svg file. However, Confluence still unable to render it as thumbnail. Hence it is necessary to render the file as a link.
      • You can use SVG out add-on to view SVG files in confluence pages. Please try it first in a test environment to make sure it does not disrupt your instance.
