Explorer Page

Your whole diagram library in one place: how the full-page Explorer is laid out, and where everything lives.

The full-page Explorer is the complete library view, modelled on a desktop file browser: a sidebar on the left to navigate, and a breadcrumb plus a list of folders and diagrams on the right. It is where all your diagrams live, organised into folders by project, customer, or topic. (For the compact version inside the editor, see the Explorer panel.)

The sidebar is the spine of the page. Each section below is a different way into your work, so the thing you want is never more than a click away. Here is what each one is for.

Timeline

Timeline is what the Explorer opens on: a day-by-day feed of everything that has happened across your diagrams, teams and account, including the things other people did. It carries a badge in the sidebar when something has happened since you last read it.

Recent diagrams

Recent is the one most people live in day to day. It lists the diagrams you opened or edited most recently, newest first, so getting back to whatever you had open last is a single click. There is nothing to organise here: it updates itself as you work, which makes it the fastest route back into current work.

Favourites

The diagrams you have starred, from your own folders and every team you are in. It sits up here in Quick find rather than among the automatic buckets in My Work, because it is a shortlist you curated. See My Work for how starring works.

Shared with you

Shared with you gathers every diagram other people have shared with you into one list, so a link someone sent last week is never lost in your inbox. It is kept separate from your own library, so collaborator work and your own work never get mixed up.

My Work

My Work is your own library: a collapsible Dynamic parent that groups the automatic buckets, plus the nested folders you create to organise diagrams by project, customer, or topic. Dynamic holds four live views: Unsorted for diagrams you have not filed, Favourites for the ones you have starred (personal or team), Generated for AI-made diagrams, and Offline for diagrams saved only in this browser. This is where you do the actual filing, dragging diagrams into folders, renaming, and nesting folders inside folders, so a growing pile of diagrams stays manageable.

Diagrams in Offline Mode surface here too: their rows carry an Offline badge, and their menus offer Sync Diagram to move one to your account, while a cloud diagram's menu offers Take Offline to do the reverse.

My Work is a folder tree: the Dynamic buckets sit above folders you can nest as deep as you like.

Team Spaces

Team Spaces lists the teams you belong to and their shared folders, alongside any pending invites waiting for you to accept. It is the shared counterpart to My Work: instead of a library only you can see, a team space is a folder tree every member of the team can open and manage together.

The Image Gallery holds every image you have uploaded, in one grid. Each one shows where it is used and gives you a way to delete it, so you can clear out assets you no longer need and reuse the ones you do without hunting through individual diagrams.

Saved Themes

Saved Themes keeps your custom themes as swatch previews, ready to edit, duplicate, or apply to another diagram. Once you have styled a diagram the way you like, saving the theme here means you never have to rebuild that palette by hand again.

List or card view

Every browse section, Recent, My Work, your folders, and a team space's shared library, can be shown two ways, switched with the List / Card toggle at the top-right of the pane:

  • List packs diagrams into compact rows, best for scanning a long library by name and date.
  • Card shows each diagram as a tile with a thumbnail of its first tab, best for recognising a diagram by its shape at a glance.

The choice is remembered on your device, so the Explorer always opens the way you left it. List and Card Views covers the two layouts and the snapshot previews in detail.

Finding your way around

Whichever section you pick, the main pane on the right shows its contents, and a breadcrumb across the top traces the folder path so you can click any step to jump back up. Everything works whether or not you are signed in: a guest sees the diagrams and folders their own browser owns, and can sign in later to carry that work into an account.

New here? Start with My Work to learn folders, then lean on Recent day to day, it is the quickest way back into whatever you had open last.
