Documents & diagrams

Specs and diagrams next to your stories.

No more stale wikis and external whiteboards. Specs, documents and architecture diagrams live in your product, linked to the stories they describe.

Documents with versions

description

Multi-page documents

A rich text editor with headings, lists, tables, colours and links. Split a long spec into pages instead of one endless scroll.

history

Versions and rollback

Publish a version with release notes. Browse earlier versions, and roll the working copy back to any of them.

upload_file

Upload and convert

Word, PDF, HTML, Markdown and text files become editable pages, so you can keep working on them.

attach_file

Attach anything else

Images, video, audio, spreadsheets and archives sit in the document as pages of their own, viewable in place.

The Wallet payments spec document: three pages, headings and lists in the editor, version 2 in draft with one published version

A full diagram builder, built in.

Not a whiteboard with boxes: a modelling tool with the notations software teams actually use. Ten notations, over 45 elements, drag and drop, right next to your specs.

The diagram builder: canvases on the left, the palette of notations (EventStorming, domain storytelling, flowchart, UML and more), export to SVG, JPEG, PDF and Mermaid, and an architecture diagram mixing a swimlane, DDD bounded contexts, an aggregate, services, a database, a queue, an external system and integration patterns
layers

Several canvases

One diagram, many views: context, containers, components, each on its own canvas.

Personal blueprints

Draft privately before a document is ready for the team: share it with colleagues to view or edit, then move it into a product.

Sharing a personal blueprint with colleagues as editor or viewer

Your teams follow a proven workflow. FlowGazer makes sure of it.
