We added tons of new features and enhancements over the last month. Here are a few of the notable ones:

People Outside of Your Workspace Can Now Comment

When you create a shared link to your diagram, you can toggle “Allow Comments.” This enables you to collaborate with clients and stakeholders without needing to add them to your workspace.

Copy to Clipboard and Paste in Other Apps

Select exactly what you want, copy to clipboard, and paste into Google Docs, Keynote, Confluence, etc. This is great if you only want to share a smaller portion of your diagram.

Copy Diagrams

You can now easily duplicate existing diagrams and add the copy wherever you would like, even other workspaces.

Custom Connectors from the Quick Add Button

If you want more control when connecting objects, you can just click and drag on the quick add button.

Drag connectors directly from quick add buttons

Double Click Connectors to Edit Text

This now works the same way as shapes do.

Drag and Drop Multiple Images

Add a bunch of new images at once. We’ll automatically stack them for you.

Frames for Images and Links

When you add images or link snapshots to diagrams, we automatically add a frame around the outside.

A white border frame is added to images to improve aesthetics

Zoom to an Specific Area

Hold down “z” and drag to zoom to a specific area of the canvas.

Annotate Images with Shapes (this feature has since been updated)

When you place an object with outline/dash style on top of an image, the fill is dropped.

Drop the fill from shapes so you can annotate images

Improvements to Connectors

Connectors are now smarter. For instance, when moving a connected shape, the elbow keeps itself centered between the objects. Connectors are also now easier to move to a different side of a shape.

Smarter connectors keep the elbow centered between two objects
