Sharing a diagram

Easily share and receive diagrams with a few clicks.

How to share

Share a diagram by clicking the Share button in the menubar, then copy and distribute the generated link that can be used to get a copy of the diagram.

info

Sharing a diagram doesn't start a collaboration session and does not let others edit your instance of the diagram.

Share

What happens when you share

When you click Share a secret gist gets created with the raw json of the diagram. Then when you load a diagram from a shared link the json gets loaded from the gist.

warning

While secret gists are not visible to search engines they are still visible if someone comes accross the url.

To learn more about gists please refer to the GitHub Documentation.

In case you want to delete a gist, you can click the Unshare button.

Additionally, the gist does not get synced with your working diagram unless you re-share by clicking the Share button again.
