Customizing LucidChart UI

I have created custom UIs within MIRO as part of my organization product offerings.  We would like to provide a similar experience to LucidChart.  React would be our preferred web framework and I see documentation on this.



  • LucidChart toolbar has File Edit View Insert set menu items.  Can you extend LucidChart menu?  Add a new menu item perhaps with sub menus?

  • Shapes on the document in LucidChart contain a right click.  Can you add new right-click menu items?

  • The documentation for React UI shows adding a new custom right panel.   I looked but cannot find the other options to add panels or modals.  What are the alternatives?


Thanks Dan

Hi Dan thank you for contributing to the Lucid for Developers Community! I am looking into how the Lucid Extension API could be used to build this custom UI and will follow-up as soon as I have more information. 


In the meantime can you please provide some additional information?

  • Use-Case Specifics: Could you elaborate on the specific use-cases you're looking to address by extending the Lucidchart menu and adding right-click options?
  • Previous Experience: You mentioned you've done similar customizations in MIRO. Could you share what specifically you were able to achieve there that you're looking to replicate in Lucidchart?

I definitely can elaborate. I would prefer to talk through it if possible. maybe shoot me an email and we can coordinate schedules?
