Creating a Map

The Maps editor provides a visual canvas where you can design architecture diagrams for your quotes.

Starting a new map

  1. Go to Maps in the sidebar.
  2. Click + New Map.
  3. Give your map a name (e.g., "Studio Capture Layout" or "Enterprise System Architecture").
  4. The canvas editor opens.

Using the canvas

The canvas is your workspace for designing the diagram:

  • Add elements — Use the tools to add components, icons, and labels to your diagram.
  • Arrange and position — Drag elements around the canvas to lay out your architecture.
  • Zoom and pan — Use the zoom controls or scroll to navigate the canvas, especially for larger diagrams.
  • Layers — Manage the layering of elements to control which items appear in front of or behind others.

Uploading images

You can upload custom images to use in your diagrams:

  1. Click the upload button in the canvas toolbar.
  2. Select an image file from your computer.
  3. Position and resize the image on the canvas.

This is useful for including product photos, logos, or custom graphics that aren't available as built-in elements.

Saving your map

Your map saves automatically as you work. You can also close the editor and come back to it later — your progress is always preserved.

Tips

  • Keep it clear and readable. A good architecture diagram communicates the big picture without overwhelming detail.
  • Use consistent styling across your maps so they look professional in every quote.
  • Name your maps descriptively so you can quickly find the right one when building a quote.
