Canvas
Master the infinite canvas where diagrams come together: placing, selecting, grouping, linking, annotating, noting, layering, rotating, animating, shadowing, locking, theming, and templating.
The Canvas
The infinite canvas, the palette, and adding elements.
Selecting and Grouping
Marquee, multi-select, groups, and the format painter.
Text and Fonts
Editing labels and choosing from eleven fonts per element or tab.
Themes
Restyle a whole diagram, including multi-colour and custom themes.
Templates
Start from a themed template instead of a blank canvas.
Links and Link Cards
Link elements across tabs or to URLs, and bookmark cards.
Annotations
Drop a marker with a note that readers hover to read.
Notes
Attach a longer written note to any element, formatted and out of sight until opened.
Layers
Split a tab into stacking layers you can hide, lock, rename, and restack.
Hiding, Locking, and Dimming Layers
Hide, lock, dim, or solo a whole layer, and preview one on hover.
Organising and Merging Layers
Rename, restack, merge, clear, and move elements between layers.
Layer Order and Opacity
Send elements to the front or back layer, and fade them with opacity.
Size
Type an exact width and height, lock the ratio, or reset a stretched shape.
Rotating Elements
Snap an element to a preset 45° angle from the right-click menu or search palette.
Animating Elements
Loop a subtle animation on shapes, arrows, and icons.
Element Shadows
Lift an element with a drop shadow: five presets plus offset/blur sliders.
Locking Elements
Protect an element from accidental moves, resizes, and deletion.
Alignment & Snapping
Drag to snap elements into line with guides; hold Cmd/Ctrl to place freely.
