Flow Chart
Build SaaS-grade flowcharts with orthogonal connectors, a clean grid, and a professional legend. Keep a “happy path” spine, and place failures/timeouts on side branches.
1) Add shapes (nodes)
- Drag a shape from the left stencil onto the canvas.
- Double-click a node label to edit it.
- Use the right Properties panel to adjust fill/border colors and size.
2) Connect nodes with orthogonal edges
- Drag from a node handle to another node to create a connector.
- Connections use right-angle routing by default to keep diagrams readable.
3) Label decision exits (Yes/No)
- Click an edge to select it.
- Use the top toolbar button “Edit Edge” to set the label (Yes/No, Success/Fail) and async style.
4) Legend + meaning
- Use “Show/Hide Legend” in the toolbar to toggle the legend overlay.
- Solid edges = sync. Dashed edges = async/API callbacks.
5) Export
- Export SVG for crisp documentation.
- Export PNG (HD) for quick sharing.
- Export Mermaid to reuse the diagram in documentation pipelines and version control.
6) Re-open your last Flow Chart (Recents)
- Go to the Diagrams page: /tools/diagrams.
- Under Recent on this device, find your diagram and click Open.
- If you have an ID (from the URL), paste it into Open diagram by ID.
Note: Recents are saved in this browser only (public mode, no accounts). If you switch browsers/devices or clear site data, the local recents list won’t follow you.
Troubleshooting
- If you see “Read-only”, use “Claim Edit Access” and paste the edit key from the creator device.
- If edges look messy, increase spacing between nodes and keep the main path linear.
