How to Use the Diagram Tool — Complete Guide

Everything you need to create professional diagrams in minutes.

1

Choose a Diagram Mode

Click any mode tab — Flowchart, Mindmap, UML, Architecture, or ER Diagram — to load the relevant node palette in the left sidebar.

2

Add Nodes

Click any node card in the sidebar to insert it at the canvas center. Each mode provides specialized shapes — diamonds for decisions, ellipses for use cases, cylinders for databases, etc.

3

Connect Nodes

Select the Connect tool, click near an edge (top, bottom, left, right) of the source node, then click an edge on the target node. An arrow connector is drawn perfectly between those specific points. Connectors update dynamically when you move or rotate nodes.

4

Select & Edit

Use Select mode to drag, resize, and rotate any object. Double-click text labels to edit them inline. Use the Properties panel on the right to change fill color, stroke, and opacity.

5

Zoom & Pan

Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in/out. Hold Space and drag to pan across the canvas. Use the zoom controls at the bottom-right to reset or adjust precisely.

6

Undo & Redo

Press Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo. Every node insertion, move, resize, and deletion is tracked in the history stack.

7

Export Your Diagram

Click PNG for a high-resolution image (2× pixel density), SVG for scalable vector output, or JSON to save the full project state for later import.

8

Auto-Save & Restore

Your diagram is automatically saved to browser storage after every change. When you return, your last session is restored automatically — no data loss.
