All my work done on a Lucid document is lost. I'm unable to view my work even in the revision history. Is there anyway I can recover?

I would like to create a template that is much like the "Business Process Flow Template" that is available for Lucidchart but customized for our company. I have tried creating the template from scratch as well as copying and modifying that template but am unable to get what I need. If you could clarify how I can specify the following formats in my template it would solve my problem: Default dimensions of a particular object type Default fill or line color for a particular object type Default amount of rounded-ness in a particular object or line type     Many thanks. 

There is a blue and grey circle that gets added to call content that I create in a shared LucidChart document. What is this and how do I remove it? Thanks Dan

I have a workspace open and we are building it for my team there is a premade slack button but to edit it i dont see how: 

Effective collaboration is not merely about increased activity but increased impact—and the result of effective collaboration should not simply be increased morale trust and communication between teammates but also tangible increases to your business’ bottom line and ability to innovate. If your business is struggling to get rid of some of these causes of ineffective and inefficient collaboration here are some techniques you can use: 1: Regularly audit your team's collaborative process Conduct regular audits to evaluate your team’s collaborative efforts. You can do this formally as a part of a sprint or project retrospective or informally as often as you need to. A

Hi there I'm wondering whether it is possible to use a set of lucid cards and sort them into both a dynamic matrix and a timeline and keep the original lucid cards as the host cards i.e. feed the data from the same lucid cards? When I sort cards into a dynamic matrix and lasso select the cards within the matrix to create a timeline it seems I am duplicating the cards. Any changes made to the cards in the timeline does not update the same card in the dynamic matrix and vice versa. Is there a way of linking the cards so there are the host cards which you can link documents to etc add tags change status description which would update them in a dynamic matrix and the timeline?This would be a useful feature for project management tracking as it valuable to see the timeline in one viewpoint and have another viewpoint of the same projects/cards in a dynamic matrix filtering on tags assignees and status. It seems that you can't add external links to the the cards in the timel

How do I add the Founder of the organization? Everyone is already on the chart but I must put the founder at the top. How do I do that?

what are the major differences and game changes between using Lucid Spark and Lucid Chart? I see you can pol and you can create gant charts but what else is the big game changer here I want to learn how to use these the way they are intended can anyone share use cases?

I will be conducting a series of workshops using LucidSpark. I would like to know who added certain content to the board after the the workshop is completed. For example if a user added a sticky note I'd like to know which logged in user added it. Is there a way to see this? Thanks! Dan

For some reason I'm unable to select shapes to change them.  Double-clicking does nothing. The only way I've found to be able to select a shape and have it remain selected is by click-dragging my mouse of the shape. Here's a screen capture of the problem unfortunately you can't see my mouse but the flashes are me try to select the shape(s). This issue only started today and then only after I viewed the Revision History.

I started a chart in Google Docs and I want to import it (and finish it) in Lucid. I couldn't find how to do that on a cursory search.    TIA!

Hi If I make a change in text in a shape or field (e.g. in an entity relationship shape) and then double click the same field or shape Lucidchart reverts the recent text change.  In 99 cases on 100 I'm clicking this shape/field because I want to make additional changes and not to revert the previous change.  Is there a way to turn this feature off? For double-click to simply mean select or anything else but revert?    

I realise that when working with the standard plan you can't link a csv file and have it update the chart: it creates a new chart on a new page where you have to reapply conditional formatting etc.  I have created some data fields on a page with my org chart which I've used to drive some dynamic shapes (pie and bar charts). If I export the chart as a csv none of that goes with it and I lose it on the import again. I can export the shape data instead which seems to capture everything but the csv file is a mess with no employee ID or supervisor ID columns to anchor it to (the data is in there but the column names are things like "text area 1" and what should be a column label "Emp ID" as the entry multiple times etc. Is it correct that for this to work properly I can only do it with an Enterprise plan?

When i go to edit a lucid spark board in lucid chart it gets rid of the original lucid spark board is there a way not to do this? 

I've not invited anyone to look at my org chart but I can see a "guest collaborator" named "Snakey" on my charts pages. I went in and removed the share setting where anyone with the link can see the charts. Then their icon went away. I assume this kicked them off. I dont know who this was and my chart has sensitive information. How can I make sure no one else can see what I've created? I'd like to share the link with my boss and colleagues but not with some rando named "Snakey".

Hello  I am hoping someone can help troubleshoot some freehand drawing issues I am having with LucidSpark.  I started my project in LucidChart. The initial upload to my project was a diagram made in OmniGraffle by a coworker. I am now annotating that diagram in LucidChart. There are a few places where I need to incorporate arrows but the areas are so small that the pre-populated arrows in LucidChart do not work which is why I then opened this same project in LucidSpark since it features a freehand drawing tool. However whenever I use the freehand drawing tool on the project in LucidChart the freehand drawing item moves behind the diagram instead of sitting on top (or in front) of the diagram. I have tried using the "arrange" option i.e. bringing the drawing to the front and sending the diagram to the back but this does not work. The freehand drawn arrow still ends up behind the diagram. I have also tried searching to see if LucidSpark has

Hello  For a few weeks now our organisation charts have not been updating correctly when the data is refreshed (Org chart / data / manage data / refresh dataset). After refreshing some of our organisation charts become flat as if there were no hierarchy.  Our organisation charts are linked to Google Sheets where the structure has not changed since they were created several years ago. The data contains no loops and is entered correctly. What we tried :  Replace dataset : Doesn't work the Org chart goes flat (same than with a simple refresh) Creating a new Org chart from the very same source the Org chart is ok. Which confirm that the data are correct. But we need our original chart to work as it is embeded in a lot of other tools. It seems to be random (out of several org charts linked to the same Google sheet some still work others don't).  Do you have any idea what's causing this problem and
