πŸ“š Main Menu & FeaturesΒΆ

This section is the reference part of the manual. It follows the left-hand button bar of the app exactly: one page per button, in the same order as the buttons appear. Pages that are indented belong to a function that lives inside the panel of the button above them, not to a button of its own.

# Button What it covers
1 Knowledge Base Creating, opening, saving, importing and exporting databases; account and file operations
2 Edit Diagram Creating items and relations, Wikipedia and Wikidata import, templates, pseudocode

Two buttons are not always there

App Settings only appears in the native app versions (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android). The free web version and the Enterprise Edition run in the browser, where the browser's own zoom does the same job. A Download button may additionally appear above Knowledge Base, depending on how the installation is configured.

Looking for something specific?

Use the search at the top of the page – it searches all pages of this manual at once. The Keyboard Shortcuts page lists every key combination in one place.
