+2Hello used lucid AI to create a sequence diagram, but I cannot edit it - change the names, move the arrows around, add new arrows and text, etc. The AI chatbot says it made it editable for me. How can I edit a lucid AI generated diagram? this seems to just be an image, not the individual elements, not very useful IMHO.
If the answer is “it’s not possible now”, please tell me when it will be possible.

Hi ​
Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! And thank you, ​
I wanted to jump in and add a few thoughts here:
I’ve experienced the same issue where a sequence diagram created by AI wouldn't let me edit individual elements. The trick is that these diagrams are often generated as a grouped markup object. You can unlock them by following these steps once you are finished using the AI/UML markup tool: (see gif below)
Step 1: Select the entire diagram.
Step 2: Click the three horizontal line (hamburger) menu in the toolbar.
Step 3: Select Arrange.
Step 4: Click Ungroup.
Note: This will disconnect the diagram from the AI editor, meaning you can no longer make changes via prompts. However, it gives you full manual control to move arrows, change text, and style the shapes however you like. For more details, feel free to check out this help center article on Generating Diagrams with AI.
If this doesn’t fit your workflow or you’re still having trouble, could you share a temporary Document Support PIN for this document? This will help me take a closer look at what’s going on. This PIN is safe to post in this thread because it is only accessible by members of the Lucid support staff. You can find steps for generating a Support PIN in this Lucid Help Center article: Generate a Lucid Support PIN. Thank you for your help and patience!
