When you utilize Mermaid code to generate a flowchart the system automatically groups every node together and the only way to edit them is through the “Diagram as Code” section. Being able to ungroup these so that individual nodes can be edited on the canvas would be very helpful.

We’re happy to announce that you can now generate editable Lucid shapes from your Mermaid syntax! 🎉 Copy your syntax and paste it into your Lucid document. The result will be native, editable shapes that you can format and move around freely!
