How do you insert a color code chart to show what the colors mean in the Org Chart?

Hi @hr d and @ria s thanks for posting in the community and starting this conversation! It sounds like the Diagram Keys feature may be useful for creating a colour code for your Org Chart and other diagrams. To do this you can drag the Diagram Key shape from the shape menu onto the cavas and edit the text as needed.

After this you can click the circles to select colours and click '+ add item' to add more rows to your key.

I am not certain if there is an easier way to do this but I would add a box at the bottom right corner (under my Chart). I'll then add smaller boxes fill it with the chart colors and add text labels to identify what the colors represent

I just had a look at the diagram key feature. This is a much easier method. Thank you

When using the diagram box, I am trying to change the size of the circle and the font size. When I change it from auto to a different size, the font size changes increases but the circle representing the color decreases in size to the point you cannot see it.
