Fit your workflow
Take the diagram where the work happens.
Use exports and the GitHub documentation workflow to keep system explanations close to the people who need them.
GitHub documentation
Open a file’s tools and choose GitHub / docs. You can download Markdown, or explicitly commit documentation to a repository, branch, and path you choose.
The commit workflow uses a token you supply for a repository you control. Grant only the permissions needed for that repository. Signing in with GitHub does not grant repository write access or automatically synchronize code.
Documents and presentations
Export a PNG, SVG, or PDF and insert it into your documentation or presentation tool. This is a file export workflow; it does not create a live connection to Notion, Confluence, or your slide deck.
Keep an editable project copy
Export a .drawarc.json project backup when you want to retain diagram source and project editing data. Importing a project backup creates a separate file in your workspace.
Treat exports as copies of your project data. Share them only with the intended recipients and check whether the backup contains discussion or embedded assets.
Make the next conversation clearer.
Start a diagram, explore a pattern, and turn your system into something others can understand.
