When you focus on a single Blueprint inside the Blueprint Editor, the editor maximizes that Blueprint and fills the canvas with its diagram. This is the Diagram view — a flowchart of connected elements that represent your business logic. A maximized Blueprint filling the canvas — the Loan Application Scorecard with its Validate Inputs and Evaluate Monthly Income sections, showing decision branches and assignment nodes You enter the Diagram view from the Specification view by:
  • Double-clicking a Blueprint’s entry in the Contents sidebar
  • Clicking the maximize icon in a Blueprint’s section header
  • Clicking a Call node’s link to open the called Blueprint
To leave it, click Minimize in the top toolbar (or click the X on the maximized blueprint pill). You return to the full Specification document with that Blueprint’s diagram embedded inline at its section.

​
Reading the diagram

Execution flows top to bottom. Each element is color-coded by type: Sections can be collapsed or expanded by clicking the collapse button in their header.

​
Canvas controls

View controls for the diagram — undo and redo, zoom, fit-to-view, and canvas settings — live in the top toolbar above the editor. To edit with AI, select a node and press Ctrl+I to send it to the Lab Agent (see Edit with Ctrl+I), or open the Agent tab in the right sidebar for a full conversation.

​
Building and editing

​
Adding elements

You add new elements at connection points in the diagram — the small circles between existing elements. Click one to open the element palette, then select the element type you want to add. The palette offers: Assignment, Decision, Loop (items), Loop (counter), Loop (while), Error, Return, and Call. For a detailed guide on each element type, see Controlling the Flow.

​
Editing elements

Double-click any element on the diagram to edit its configuration inline:
  • Decision nodes — edit the condition expression and branch labels
  • Assignment nodes — edit the calculation or variable assignment
  • Call nodes — select which Blueprint to call and configure input / output mapping
When you click an element, it becomes selected and a small node toolbar appears with copy, settings, run-from-here, add-element, and delete actions. See Inline editing for details.

​
AI editing

Select a node and press Ctrl+I (or Cmd+I on Mac) to drop it into the Lab Agent chat as a reference, then type your instruction — see Edit with Ctrl+I. For a longer conversation that can build across Blueprints and run your tests, open the Agent tab in the right sidebar.

​
Running and tracing

You can run the maximized Blueprint directly from the diagram. After a run, the execution path is highlighted on the canvas and the trace controls in the top toolbar become active — Step in, Step out, Previous, Next — so you can replay the execution step by step. While Live mode is running, the Blueprint re-runs automatically as you edit, and the Outputs footer at the bottom of the canvas updates continuously. For detailed instructions, see Test your Blueprint.
