Charts guides
Each guide covers a complete job rather than a single control — the sort of thing you would sit down to do in an afternoon. If you have never used Charts, the quickstart is a shorter first pass.
Describing how work happens
Section titled “Describing how work happens”Map a process end to end — start from an empty canvas, draw the real process, annotate every step, read the numbers, and publish it. The longest guide here and the one that covers the most ground.
Annotate steps in the table — fill in roles, durations, waits, SLAs, and risk for a chart that already exists, including bulk edits and the CSV round trip.
Changing how work happens
Section titled “Changing how work happens”Improve a process with scenarios — pin today’s process, draft the better one, compare them, and show the difference to the people who decide.
Working with help
Section titled “Working with help”Build a chart with the AI assistant — ask for shapes, connections, and layout instead of drawing them by hand.
Work on a chart with other people — live editing, presence, conflicts, and how to run a mapping session.
Drawing
Section titled “Drawing”Draw a diagram from scratch — shapes, connectors, layout, and the parts of the shape library worth knowing about.
Organise a large chart — pages and layers, for when one canvas stops being enough.
Getting it to people
Section titled “Getting it to people”Review and publish — comments, review status, publishing, and what readers see.
Export a chart — every format, and which to use for slides, documents, and code.
If something is wrong
Section titled “If something is wrong”Troubleshooting collects the failures that have a known cause.
