The app offers the following (global) settings which are applied to all Mermaid Charts & Diagrams for Confluence macros (in all spaces):
Data Protection Mode: If enabled, all data processing takes place only within the Atlassian cloud and within the user's browser. This is implemented by disabling those features where data processing on the app’s servers (managed by weweave) is required.
Hide “Data Protection Mode” errors in Confluence PDF exports: If enabled (only possible in combination with enabling “Data Protection Mode”), Confluence PDF exports do not include macros (errors). Instead, macros are just “skipped” in exports.

The Mermaid code can be added as macro body and the macro is rendered after publishing /updating the page.

Mermaid diagram configuration
When rendering the Mermaid code we automatically apply some Mermaid configurations for specific diagram types which are documented below.
Architecture diagram
The Iconify icon pack “logos” is included when rendering architecture diagrams and the icons are available under the prefix “logos” (see https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/architecture.html#icons).
Please note that icons included in icon packs are currently not supported when exporting the diagram (as image or Confluence page).
