This feature improvement is addressing a long time due request from our users. It’s the ability to log into Creately Support with the same credentials as those used to log in to Creately.com.
Earlier, everyone had to create a separate account in Zendesk (our support management software) to report an issue, a feature request or just ask a question regarding a Creately product.
However, using a system call Single Sign On (SSO) between Creately and Zendesk, you can now login to both the Creately.com application and Creately Support with a single set of login details. A single key which ensures getting support is a smoother experience.
How it works?
When you want to access support and send us a new ticket or update an existing one you need to visit support.creately.com. If you’re already logged in to Creately.com and use a support link you will be automatically logged in to Zendesk and be able to just send us your ticket. If you visit the support site directly ie. from a link in an email you’ll need to click the “login” link in the top right hand corner of the support website to login.
When you’re not already logged in to Creately.com you will be provided with a login screen and once you provide the correct details the site will forward you back to the support site. If you want to submit a ticket but aren’t registered for Creately.com you can register first before being forwarded back to support.
Remember if you don’t have a Creately.com account and don’t want to create one you can contact support to submit a new ticket.
If you previously had an account on support.creately.com and Creately.com using the same email then they have been merged and when you login with the Creately.com details you’ll see you previous tickets. If you used a different email on support.creately.com you might have some issues and we can help you merge the accounts. Just contact support and we’ll walk you through the merging.
This is the latest feature improvements we have been working on. We are looking forward to further improvements and bringing you a great diagramming experience and assistance. Keep subscribing to our blog and look for the announcement space for more new improvements in our ongoing optimization process.
We’ve been working on improvements since our last Creately update blog post. In this blog post, we will be addressing improvements to Objects, Text handling and other app related fixes.
Text placement in the objects
Some of you have noticed that, when you export a diagram as an image file or PDF document; some part of the text in the objects was missing. It was a bug which caused the issue and is now fixed. You can now export your diagrams without worrying about any text cut-off issues. As you can see from the below example image, in the group A the second line of texts in the objects are missing. With this fix, as shown in the group B, you will be able to export the diagram without an issue.
Database Object Connector Improvement
This particular improvement is for the connector head of the database object. Before this fix, the connector head wasn’t sitting in the correct position on the glue point and the connector. As shown in the image below at A, the point head was out of alignment with the connector line.
With this release, we have fixed up the alignment of the connector heads. As you can see in the below image, now the connector head sits exactly on the connecting point.
This particular enhancement implemented to the connectors used in database objects.
Notes and Comments
We have enhanced the notes section so that you can insert notes and comments in an organized manner. Previously, users would have experienced the red bar error message were exceeding the limit of characters supported. This did not allow the users to save the diagram unless the notes section text length was reduced to be within the limit. The limit is 65,000 characters in the notes section.
Notes
With this fix, You will be notified with a small balloon message when you reach the character limit and you’ll be prevented from typing further so as not to waste your effort. This character limit fix is also applied to the comment dialog box you get when you save a diagram. You are shown a dialog box when you hit the save button where you are given an option to change the diagram name, diagram type and to add a comment about the diagram, as shown in the below image.
You will be warned once you have reached the character limit in the comment section to avoid any issues when trying to save the diagram. The limit is 512 characters.
CISCO Objects Optimization
This is addressing an issue that we had with our CISCO objects, where they would not display in the diagram viewer. With this fix we have optimized the CISCO objects and improved their behavior from the back end system. You should be able to create and view diagrams using CISCO objects without an issue.
Diagram viewing issue on viewer
Users could not view certain the diagrams in the viewer due to a minor bug we had with connector heads. This issue was with connectors when one end had an arrow heads, but wasn’t connected to an object. The below images shows an example of this scenario.
In this example, earlier the highlighted arrow head was not placed correctly on the head of the connector and it wouldn’t allow the diagram to be viewed in the diagram viewer. We have fixed this minor bug with this enhancement release.
These are the latest fixes and improvements we have been working on. We are looking forward to further improvements and bringing you a great diagramming experience. Keep subscribing to our blog and look for the announcement space for more new improvements in our ongoing optimization process.

Creately Diagramming for Confluence has been updated. Confluence users can now continue their diagramming with the latest version of Confluence 5.5.2. We have been supporting Confluence platform versions from 3.1 to 5.4 up until our last plugin version 1.10.2.
With the release of the Creately plugin version 1.11.0 we are adding support for Confluence 5.5.2 and at the same time altering the support for earlier versions of Confluence. We will be discontinuing support for certain older versions of Confluence. The Creately for Confluence plugin will no longer support Confluence 3.x up to 4.0. Confluence 3.x and 4.0. Therefore Creately for Confluence plugin version 1.11.0 will only support Confluence 4.1 up to 5.5.2.
This table shows our recommended Creately plugin version depending on your version of Confluence:
Recommended Creately for Confluence Release
Supported Confluence Release
1.5.1
3.0 – 3.1
1.10.2
3.1 – 5.4.4
1.11.0
4.1 – 5.5.2
Why We Stopped Supporting Older Confluence Platforms
The reason for dropping support for older Confluence platforms is because the of Atlassian licensing system limitations. The latest version of Atlassian licensing does not include compatibility with Confluence 2.x, 3.x and 4.0 as these products have reached end of life as per Atlassian’s product end of life policy. Since our plugin uses the Atlassian Marketplace Licensing API it isn’t possible for us to continue supporting these earlier versions of Confluence.
For users of the Creately plugin who are on Confluence 3.x up to 4.0 you can still download and install the Creately plugin version 1.10.2 from the Atlassian Marketplace.
With Creately for Confluence you will be able to,
Import Visio Documents, Stencils and Templates
Import and Export SVG documents
Export as Creately Editable SVG
High Resolution Image Export
