DiagramAI embeds the diagrams.net editor so every AI-generated shape, connector, label, and style remains editable.

​
Edit on the canvas

Use the editor to:
  • Move, resize, duplicate, and delete shapes
  • Change labels, colors, borders, and typography
  • Add connectors and adjust their routes
  • Use the shape libraries and layout tools provided by diagrams.net
  • Undo or redo recent canvas changes

​
Automatic saving

Changes are queued and saved to your workspace automatically. The DiagramAI header shows the current state:
  • Saving means changes are being sent.
  • Saved includes the time of the latest successful save.
  • Save failed provides a Retry action.
Wait for Saved before closing the tab or returning to the workspace.
DiagramAI keeps a temporary browser draft when needed. If the browser draft is newer than the server copy, the editor asks whether you want to restore it.

Use the diagrams.net export controls available in the embedded editor:
  1. Open the editor’s export menu.
  2. Choose one of the formats currently offered by the editor.
  3. Configure the page, crop, scale, background, or other available options.
  4. Download the result and inspect it before sharing.
The set of formats and options is provided by diagrams.net and can vary by format.

​
Team editing locks

A team-workspace diagram can have one active editor at a time. If another member holds the lock, the diagram opens in read-only mode and AI editing is disabled. A workspace Owner or Admin can take over the lock when necessary. See Team workspaces and permissions for the complete role behavior.
