Ever wanted to show a clean version of your map to one stakeholder and a data-heavy version to another? This video shows you how to use shape actions and diagram keys to create a "dashboard" feel that toggles conditional formatting on and off with a single click.

What you’ll learn:

  • Interactive keys: How to turn your diagram key into a functional control panel for your canvas.
  • Shape actions: Setting up the "Toggle Conditional Formatting" action to trigger specific rules on demand.
  • Dynamic views: Quickly switching between a high-level process map and a detailed view that highlights blockers or specific shape types.
  • Enhanced user experience: Making complex diagrams more accessible for teammates who only need to see certain data at certain times.

⚙️ A note on the UI

Recorded around 2024, the buttons in this video might look a little different than the current Lucid interface. Don't worry—the "Actions" menu and conditional formatting engine still work exactly as shown!
