Features FAQ
What are hosted draw.io diagrams?
Hosted draw.io diagrams are draw.io-compatible diagrams managed on DiagramDeck's cloud infrastructure. Instead of self-hosting draw.io on your own servers — which requires managing updates, storage, backups, and security — DiagramDeck handles all infrastructure for you. You get the full draw.io editing experience with additional features like real-time team collaboration, version history, and shareable links. Your existing .drawio files can be imported directly, and you can export back to .drawio format at any time, ensuring full compatibility with the draw.io ecosystem.
How does real-time collaboration work in DiagramDeck?
DiagramDeck's real-time collaboration allows multiple team members to edit the same diagram simultaneously. You can see other users' cursors moving in real time, leave threaded comments on specific diagram elements, and share diagrams instantly via link. Changes are synced automatically — there is no need to save or merge versions manually. This makes DiagramDeck ideal for architecture reviews, sprint planning sessions, and design workshops where teams need to build and refine diagrams together. Unlike self-hosted draw.io, which lacks native multiplayer editing, DiagramDeck makes collaboration a core feature.
What cloud architecture shapes does DiagramDeck support?
DiagramDeck includes official shape libraries for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. These shapes cover compute, storage, networking, databases, AI/ML services, security, and analytics services for each cloud provider. You can create detailed cloud architecture diagrams, multi-cloud topologies, and infrastructure-as-code documentation using accurate, up-to-date provider icons. The shape libraries are regularly updated to include new services as cloud providers release them.
