Built for teams who rely on clear, up-to-date documentation
Atlassian empowers teams worldwide with tools like Confluence, making collaboration and documentation more seamless. As organizations scale, their documentation needs become more complex—requiring deeper integrations, richer formatting, and effortless content management.
That’s why Modus Create is launching Just Add+, a solution designed to help teams embed Markdown, Diagrams, Git-based content, and more—directly within Confluence.
Why Modus Create launched Just Add+

What Just Add+ does for your team
Here's what teams can do with JustAdd+:
Embed Markdown, LaTeX & AsciiDoc directly in Confluence
Markdown is the language of documentation, widely used for README files, API docs, and knowledge bases. Just Add+ brings full Markdown support to Confluence, ensuring content stays clean, structured, and readable. Teams can:
- Write in Markdown, LaTeX, or AsciiDoc—no extra formatting needed.
- Supports tables, lists, inline code, and math equations.
- Keeps content structured and professional—without manual conversions.
Live diagrams & flowcharts that stay updated
Diagrams bring clarity to architecture, workflows, and system processes—but keeping them current is a challenge.
With Just Add+, teams can embed dynamic diagrams that automatically update whenever the source file changes.
Just Add+ supports 15+ diagramming tools, including:
-
Mermaid: Flowcharts, Gantt charts, and sequence diagrams.
-
PlantUML: UML diagrams and architecture modeling.
-
Graphviz: Network graphs and data relationships.
-
Structurizr: C4 Model for software architecture.
Here are the advantages:
- Diagrams update instantly when source files change—no re-uploads.
- Works with GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab for refreshed visuals.
- Teams can generate diagrams from code—easily create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and UML models with text-based syntax.
Embed content from GitHub, Bitbucket & GitLab
Many teams store critical documentation inside Git repositories—README files, API specs, and infrastructure diagrams.
Just Add+ connects your Confluence pages directly to your Git repositories—keeping your documentation aligned with your source of truth. Just Add+ can help:
- Embed README files, API docs, and diagrams from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
- Content refreshes automatically to reflect the latest version.
- Secure OAuth authentication ensures proper repository access.
