The Explorer is where all your diagrams live. It gives you a sidebar to navigate, a list view of whatever you have selected, and folders to group your work by project, customer, or topic. This page is the map; each section below has its own guide.
The sidebar at a glance
The sidebar is organised into a few sections so the thing you want is never far away:
- Recent diagrams is the default view: the diagrams you touched most recently, the fastest way back into current work.
- Shared with you collects diagrams other people have shared with you.
- My Work is your own library, the Unsorted bucket plus the folders you create.
- Team Spaces lists the teams you belong to and their shared folders, with your pending invites.
- Image Gallery holds every image you have uploaded.
- Saved Themes keeps your custom themes ready to reuse.
The main pane shows the contents of whatever you have selected, with the folder path as a breadcrumb you can click to jump back up.
The Explorer in two places
You will meet the Explorer in two forms, suited to two situations:
- The full-page Explorer is the complete library view, modelled on a desktop file browser: a sidebar on the left, a breadcrumb and list of folders and diagrams on the right.
- The floating Explorer panel is the compact side panel in the editor and the new-diagram flow, built for finding a diagram fast while you are mid-task.
Both work whether or not you are signed in. A guest sees the diagrams and folders that their own browser owns, and can sign in later to carry that work into an account.
