The concept of a diagram key is awesome, ensuring we can convey what different aspects of a diagram mean. 

Lucid also has conditional formatting allowing icons to be added to shapes which can, for example, denote status or progress.

 

However, icons alone can be meaningless. So to give them meaning and convey that meaning, I would like to be able to add them in the diagram key. This way, a viewer can, at a glance, know which icon means what and why I am using these icons.

I’d like the same! In one of the training video that exact functionality is demonstrated but I can’t find the “conditional formating” shape library as seen in the video.

So glad you’re loving the diagram key, ​@markscamilleri + ​@Kasper ! 

The shape library you see in the video is an internal library to Lucid so I have a quick workaround for you! 

Just take a screenshot of the icon as it appears within the conditional formatting window (now located on the left toolbar, previously it was in the top toolbar), drop it onto your board, and then drag and drop it into your diagram key. Easy peasy! I hope this helps!
