Long reads
These links point to static blog posts meant to be read end-to-end—editor, AI, image-to-graph, and deployment. The cards above summarize each area.
- First visit: sign up or sign in from the home page; or continue as Guest to try the editor (Guest does not list cloud diagrams).
- Open /editor.html, or use the sidebar New / “+ New” for a blank diagram, or pick a template under “Start from a template”. Edit on canvas; when signed in, saves sync to your account.
- In My diagrams, organize with folders, batch move or delete, and create editable share links per diagram when needed.
- Account & security: change password, email verification (if required), TOTP and passkeys under Account settings.
- Optional backends: image-to-diagram and AI canvas are proxied at /api/… when those services run.
- Home: product overview, blog, editor, sign up / sign in.
- Language: header or ?lang=zh|en (stored in a cookie).
- Registration, login, guest mode; captcha and rate limits depend on deployment.
- Forgot password, email verification (DRAWFIGURE_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION), account settings, delete account.
- Two-factor login (TOTP, WebAuthn); admins can manage users when applicable.
- Lists saved diagrams and thumbnails; filter by folder or Unfiled.
- Create, rename, delete folders; deleting a folder moves diagrams up or to Unfiled.
- Bulk select, move to folder, delete; sort and search when signed in.
- Per diagram: open, rename, create/revoke editable share, move, delete.
- Draw.io–compatible editing: shapes, connectors, styles, layers, import/export.
- Start from Template or the template gallery, then customize.
- Save: cloud sync when signed in; use Ctrl+S or the Save action.
- Help → Support opens this page; shortcuts and About are also under Help.
- Editable share URLs include the diagram id and a secret sk—treat links as credentials.
- Saves use optimistic locking (revision); concurrent edits may return a conflict to merge or accept server version.
