Hello!

Context: Confluence, Cloud. Draw.io Embed macro usage - Using the diagrams.net/draw.io embed macro on confluence cloud, at several places (confluence wiki pages) to show the same (say an overview) diagram.

Problem/Use case: I want to change the diagram. For example: split into two diagrams or restructure the tabs/sheets/diagrams in the diagram container (i e file). To do so, I would need to check where (what wiki pages) the diagram has been used, to ensure that those pages are ok after the change (or edit those pages to make them ok).

So the information I need to be able to get is an answer to this:
On what pages has the draw.io embed macro been used to display a diagram in the draw.io file I want to change?

My question here:
-> Is there a way to list what pages are embedding/using a diagram file in confluence?

Related / analoguous: For confluence vanilla/built-in - links and usages of the embed excerpt macro - I can go to the information view of a page and see what pages are linking to "this page" or have embedded excerpts defined in "this page" (that I am viewing). I would need something similar for draw.io embed macro usages for a diagram file.

Thanks for any help and pointers on how to solve this!

BR! /marcus

In Confluence Cloud it looks like that's a no. In Confluence server we access to the incoming links information and can build that information, but not cloud, that I know of.
