Invite your team to collaborate
Diagrams stay private until you share. Everyone you invite shows up on the canvas in real time, with live cursors, comments, and presence.

Share & access
Editor or view-only links
Create an editor link for collaborators or a view-only link for stakeholders who should watch, not touch. Run as many links as you like, side by side. Any link also embeds read-only in your wiki, Notion, or docs: copy the iframe snippet from the Share dialog.
Teams with a shared library
Create a team, invite people by email, and everyone gets a shared folder of diagrams they can all open and edit. Admins manage membership and roles; members just get to work. Sign in to set one up, the canvas itself never needs an account.
Links that expire on their own
Give a share link a lifetime when you create it: a week, a month, six months, or never. When it lapses the URL stops working on its own, no cleanup to remember, and you can extend it for another run or delete it for good.
Stop sharing on demand
Sharing is a toggle, not a state of being. Revoke a link and the URL stops working. The diagram is yours again.
Work together live
Live presence
See who is in the diagram from the participant avatars on each tab. Status rings show online, away, or stale.
Edits land live
The moment someone makes a change, everyone sees it. If two people edit the same thing at once, the most recent change is the one that sticks.
See what others are working on
Click an element and your collaborators see your colour glow on its border, plus your initials in the corner, in real time.
Comments on any element
Right-click an element, leave a thread. Replies, resolve, delete. Comments carry the author's name and colour so it's clear who said what.
Assign actions to teammates
Turn any element into a piece of work: name the action, describe it, and hand it to a teammate from any of your teams, with an optional email nudge. An Actions panel tracks everything still open, with your own assignments on top.
Present & facilitate
Laser pointer for presenting
Switch to the laser tool and your cursor leaves a glowing trail everyone can see. Point at the thing you mean while you talk it through. Trails fade on their own.
Spotlight the room on one thing
Switch on Spotlight and the canvas dims under a soft shroud, with only a circle of light around your cursor. Walk the room through a busy diagram one piece at a time. Left-click grows the light, right-click shrinks it, and it is a local view aid, so it never gets in a viewer’s way.
Run the session: timer + voting
Facilitate live from the canvas. Start a countdown or stopwatch the whole room sees, then open dot-voting to surface the group’s priorities. Everyone votes with a budget of dots; results tally in real time, and revealing them starts a guided walkthrough: each top pick lights up and centres on screen while you step through with Next and Previous. Perfect for retros, workshops, and timeboxed planning.
