Add more filter options to timeline feature to select all/select one and reset all selection.Idea

Right now selection has to be one by one on each of filter I specify, so there is no select all or when I type I can’t just select the one. I also found the reset option doesn’t reset the filter nor all filters back to original.

Task Type LogosIdea

Since there has been a change to the task type logos in Lucidchart, they look awful and untidy. They used to be much smaller and rarely invasive on the text, but now they’re pushing out even the simplest of text.If they can’t be returned to the size they were before the recent change, maybe there could be a way to resize them within the UI, ideally on a whole document rather than individually, and have the choice to use them in a way that suits the user?Thanks!

Additional shortcuts/hotkeys for features used while facilitating like lock/unlockIdea

I often use positioning and arranging tools as facilitation tools, especially hide/show and lock/unlock. I would love it if there were keyboard shortcuts for these tools so I could more seamlessly use them. For example, I sometimes use a “Deck of Cards” style activity and utilize Ctrl + Alt + [ to shuffle through the deck. I use hide/show and lock/unlock in similar ways, to quickly reveal something I wanted to stay out of sight at first or to quickly refocus the group. A shortcut would make this much smoother.

Lucid AI additional features to automate diagram tasksIdea

Lucid AI can’t automate all of the menu options on a Lucidchart diagram. Adding support for more of these operations would allow additional tasks to be automated.For example, the page Duplicate function isn’t available to Lucid AI. Instead, when requested to duplicate a page it creates a new page and uses the same master page as the page requested to be duplicated. None of the shapes or lines are duplicated.I attempted to update some local data properties for a page (I use these to consistently display information in multiple shapes on the page and control conditional formatting). It wasn’t able to do this, but could change property values for shapes on the page.

Create animated flow in LucidchartFuture Consideration

Hello,I am trying to find a way to create animated flows like it appears here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mendix_aws-cloudcomputing-mendix-activity-7107695715962740736-vkX_/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop So far, I couldn’t do it in Lucid or find any online tutorial to replicate the same. Draw.io seems able to do so using the ‘Flow animation’ property. Thanks.

Make Lucid activities copy-safe in Canvas Templates, Blueprint courses, and anchor course shells built by non-instructorIdea

The problemHigher education institutions rarely build every Canvas course directly in the live term shell, particularly for online or hybrid courses.Instructional designers, curriculum teams, and online learning staff typically develop courses in an anchor, template, or Blueprint course. That course is then copied or synced into the Canvas shells where faculty and students actually teach and learn.Currently, Lucid activities and embedded Lucid resources do not reliably support this workflow.An instructional designer may build a complete course containing Lucid activities, templates, collaborative boards, diagrams, or assignments, but when that course is copied into a new Canvas shell, the Lucid connections may need to be recreated, re-embedded, or manually relinked before they are usable, often as an unsurmountable burden on instructors.This means institutions cannot confidently make Lucid part of their standard course-design templates or offerings.Requested functionalityPlease make Lucid content portable with the Canvas course so that Lucid activities created in a source course can be copied, imported, templated, or Blueprinted into another Canvas course and remain immediately usable regardless of who created it within the institution.Ideally, when Canvas creates the destination course, Lucid would recognize that a new course context has been created and automatically establish the appropriate Lucid resource for that new context.For example:Anchor Course → Fall 2026 CourseA designer creates a Lucid activity in the Anchor Course shell.When the Anchor Course is copied into the Fall 2026 course, Lucid automatically creates or associates a fresh instance of that activity with the new Canvas course.The instructor should not have to delete the activity, recreate it, select the Lucid document again, or know anything about how the Lucid integration is configured.Workflows this should supportThis would ideally work with the major ways institutions deploy Canvas courses:Canvas course copy/import Canvas Templates Canvas Blueprint courses Copying modules or assignments between courses Institutionally maintained anchor course shells Recurring semester or term course creation Instructors sharing Canvas content with colleaguesThe copied Lucid activity should preserve its instructional design and configuration while creating the appropriate new course-level or student-level Lucid instances.Why this mattersThis is especially important for institutions with centralized instructional design teams.A faculty member building one Lucid activity in one live course can work around a broken copy manually.An instructional design team maintaining dozens or hundreds of courses cannot.Without copy-safe Lucid activities, designers have to choose between:excluding Lucid from intentionally built anchor courses and department templates, requiring faculty to rebuild Lucid activities every term, or documenting a manual repair process for every copied course.All three significantly reduce the likelihood that Lucid will be adopted as a standard instructional tool.With this functionality, an institution could instead build Lucid into its official course templates, learning activities, faculty-developed courses, and online programs. Faculty could receive a new course shell with the Lucid experiences already designed and ready for students.What success would look likeBuild once → copy or Blueprint → teach.An instructional designer should be able to create a Canvas course containing Lucid activities once, have that course replicated into future term shells, and know that the Lucid activities will work for the new instructor and students without manual reconstruction.This would turn Lucid from a tool individual instructors can add to a course into a tool institutions can confidently build into their course-design infrastructure.

Imagine incorporating CanvaIdea

I would like to suggest somehow letting lucidchart work with Canva designs. As an educator, Canva offers a really great design platform while Lucid could be the connection between it and Canvas. For example, I made a drag and drop assignment on Canva (which allows me to add pictures, remove backgrounds from pictures, and also provides more font options) and it would be extremely beneficial if I could copy and paste it or embed or something into Lucid. Being a platform to be able to embed in Canvas is where we need you, Lucid! I made another drag and drop in Lucid and it was also super easy to do, but I was missing the “remove background” feature for what I needed. I asked the AI tool if it could remove the background and it said no and offered to create a horse for me using the shape tools. I have attached the horse it made. I see now there is an image option in the tool bar, which I got a giraffe from instead. But yeah, funny horse!

Add shape Union, Subtract, and Join operationsIdea

Add the ability to create custom shapes easily using the basic shapes already available and Union, Subtract, Add, or Join. Anyone who was forced to move from Visio to Lucid will appreciate this feature being available. This feature has been brought up in multiple conversation over several years:Combine shapes and remove lines in Lucidchart | CommunityShape subtract/union | CommunityShape subtract/union | CommunityHow to join lines to make a shape and then fill the shape in Lucid | CommunityHow many times does your support team need to respond to your users with “Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not currently supported in Lucidchart, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products.” before it gets bumped into action?Maybe one of the AI advances your team can make would be to create a crawler for your own technical support conversations and see what common terms keep coming up?

I noticed there is some great usage information available in the users usage .csv from the admin portal but there doesn’t appear to be any way to gather that same information from the API. I would like to have this available from the API so I can query it to come up with recommendations about which accounts to email inquiring about removing licenses and others to outright remove licensing from and notify it’s been revoked until they re-request it.

Collaborator cursors defaulted offIdea

The collaborator cursors can be very distracting when we are trying to brainstorm as a larger group and see all of the cursors whizzing around the board. I have found this to be a deterrent for new users because they often get overwhelmed by this. I found this even more frustrating when utilizing breakout boards. I turned off the “show cursors” option for the main board, but then I had to subsequently turn it off again in all of the breakout boards I went into. It would be AWESOME, if these were defaulted off or added to the facilitator controls as a feature the facilitator could turn off for all the collaborators in the board. Then, it would be even better if that board setting would trickle down into the breakout boards as well.

Lucidscale account item sorting not workingIdea

In a LucidScale diagram, when the selecting ‘Layout for all accounts’ for a collapsed view of an account, the sorting doesn’t work for the list of categories.If the Account is expended, and non-regional services do sort based on the sort configuration, but the Regions nor the categories contained in the region are affected by the sorting. The result is inconsistent viewing of categories across multiple accounts in the same view.

Our enterprise utilizes Snowflake for our data warehouse. We find the MS SQL ERD capability very useful, but are unable to utilize this feature for our Snowflake data warehouse. We currently have to utilize toolsets like https://github.com/cristiscu/erd-viewer which devalues our usage of Lucid.

Individual users disable AIIdea

Hi, I noticed recently that you have enabled AI. I find the feature extremely annoying both in that it keeps popping up automagically but also in the canvas it is present and distracting and there you can’t remove it. Also I do not really wish to train an AI (whatever the kind it is)I am paying for a personal account that does not give me an option to disable AI, as you have for team users. Would it be possible to implement such an option for normal users?

Allow teachers to disable AI for their students!Idea

I was shocked to open Lucid today while prepping my fall classes and realize that there is no way for me to disable AI on the LucidSpark documents I assign classes. From my troubleshooting it looks like my school would need an enterprise account to be able to disable AI. My school doesn’t have an enterprise account, so I’m at the mercy of what I can do with my educators account. Please fix this oversight ASAP! I don’t think I can continue to assign work on Lucid because students will just use AI to answer my prompts.

Bulk Operations for Data HubIdea

The data hub doesn’t have any bulk operations meaning it becomes difficult to manage data imports when there are many accounts.While there is a tick box next to each account, it doesn’t appear to allow bulk operations except for sharing (thankfully it does work for this operation otherwise it would be very difficult to share data across our teams).Other useful operations:Edit scheduled updates Edit resources Update account from AWS (may require limits to the number of accounts that can be selected) Delete account - only required because the other bulk operations aren’t available - i.e. it is easier to create new account imports with a new set of filters than it is to modify the filters for multiple accounts, but that also requires deleting the obsolete account (with the old filter)What is the difference between Share Accounts, which does work as a bulk operation, and the ‘New’ feature of Share Account Data which doesn’t support bulk operations?

Adjustable Columns in Data Hub ListIdea

The list of accounts in Data Hub has fixed column widths which means the name is often truncated, while other columns have white space. Dynamically sized or adjustable columns would be great to make it easier to see the full account name. We use a naming convention that has common first parts to the name.Also, if the account summary warning was a separate column that could be sorted it would make it easier to find import errors. I have approx 120 accounts, each with two imports for different sets of regions, so the list is quite long.
