Diagrams let you lay ideas out visually — a flow chart of a process, or a mind map of how topics connect. When your teacher assigns you a diagram, you get your own canvas to build on. Your work saves automatically as you go.

​
Opening your diagram

Open the diagram from your dashboard or the link your teacher shares, and sign in with your classroom account. If your teacher issued a copy to you or your group, the canvas opens ready for you to edit. Anything your teacher drew appears as read-only reference — you can see it and connect to it, but only your own elements are yours to change.

​
Adding and connecting elements

  • Add a shape — open the Elements panel, pick a shape, then click the canvas where you want it.
  • Move or resize — drag an element to move it, or drag its corner handles to resize (hold Shift to keep its proportions).
  • Connect two elements — select an element, then drag from one of the small anchor points on its edge to another element. A connector snaps into place.
  • Label and style — select any element to type a label and change its fill or text; select a connector to change its line and arrows.

​
Getting around the canvas

Use the on-canvas buttons to zoom in and out, fit the whole diagram to the screen, or pan around. If snap-to-grid is on, elements line up neatly as you place and move them.

​
Using the keyboard

You don’t need a mouse. Select an element and use the arrow keys to nudge it (hold Shift for bigger steps), press Delete to remove the selected element or connector, and press Esc to deselect. The List button opens a text outline of every element and connection, which also works well with a screen reader.

​
Saving

There’s nothing to submit — your diagram saves automatically as you work, and the header shows when it was last saved. You can come back and keep building any time.
