Diagrams Management

Diagrams Management supports architecture-linked diagram lifecycle with editing, syncing, emergency recovery actions, and XML export.

Model-to-diagram consistency

Treat sync and emergency-sync tools as controlled reconciliation steps between visual diagrams and persisted model data.

What You Can Do

  • Create and manage diagrams under an architecture.
  • Edit diagrams in integrated editor.
  • Run normal sync/resync flows.
  • Use emergency sync and targeted apply actions.
  • Restore snapshots.
  • Download diagram XML.
  • Apply custom UID updates and layout autofix.

Typical Workflow

  1. Create diagram from architecture context.
  2. Edit in diagram editor.
  3. Run sync to align persisted state.
  4. If inconsistencies occur, use emergency sync and selective apply actions.
  5. Snapshot restore when rollback is needed.
  6. Export XML for external archival or tooling.

Diagram Lifecycle Flow

    C --> D{Consistent?}
    D -- Yes --> E[Continue Iteration]

    H --> I[Export XML or Restore Snapshot]

Key Pages

  • Architecture-specific diagram list/create.
  • Diagram detail/update/delete.
  • Editor, sync, resync, download.
  • Emergency sync suite and snapshot restore actions.
Collapsed emergency flow guidance

Use emergency bulk apply only after reviewing proposed deltas, because it can modify many entities in one operation.

Practical Tips

  • Prefer standard sync before emergency flows.
  • Use emergency bulk apply actions only after reviewing the proposed changes.

Recovery pattern

Snapshot restore is safest when used before additional edits are made after a detected sync mismatch.
