Product questions

From just November maybe change to Nov 2023

After a recent corporate security policy update 3rd Party cookies are now blocked and can't be turned on. This has broken LucidChart Confluence integration with diagrams now not showing correctly in Confluence. Is there any workaround that doesn't involve enabling 3rd Party Cookies ?Is there any plan not to rely on 3rd Party Cookies for such integrations to work in the first place ? Thx

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with our Schoology integration there are a few things to look at: Teachers can add a Lucidchart diagram to an assignment by navigating to a course selecting "add materials" selecting the insert content button selecting Lucidchart and then selecting the diagram from their Lucidchart docs list. When students select the diagram link in the assignment that will open a new copy of that diagram for them. Students can submit a Lucidchart diagram as an assignment by exporting the diagram as a PDF from within Lucidchart navigating to the assignment in Schoology selecting submit assignment and uploading the PDF. If your Lucidchart documents list doesn't load when diagramming in Schoology can you check that 3rd party cookies aren't blocked for your browser? If the issue persists please drop a comment with the following information:

Hi Lucid users -- if you are having difficulty with our ERD Import - Salesforce Schema functionality there are a few things you can look at: To use the API your organization must be on one of the following 4 editions (the API is enabled by default): Enterprise Edition Unlimited Edition Developer Edition or Performance Edition. Editions with no API Access include: Contact Edition Group Edition Professional Edition and Spark Edition If you've verified you have API access but are still unable to import please confirm that the "Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated" setting is not checked in your Session Settings in Salesforce. Try the schema import in a Google Chrome Incognito browsing session. This often improves performance by clearing your cache and cookies and disabling your extensions. Please check your login IP Ranges under your Salesforce user profile and make sure that those ranges are not restricted. In most cases if the above tips don't help this could be t

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having difficulty using Quip with Lucid there are a few things to check out: There are some Lucidchart features that can't be used in Quip.

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with our Process Diagram Import there are a couple of things to try out: The data has to be formatted a certain way in order for the import to be successful. Take a look at this article. Since Lucidchart’s CSV export uses the same format as its import you may wish to export an existing Lucidchart diagram as a CSV file to use as example of how your file should be formatted. Please take a look at this section of our Process Diagram Import article for more information on how to do this. If you go to File>Import Data>Process Diagram you can also download an example CSV data set from that screen. If the issue persists give us a heads up with the following information: A screenshot of the error you are seeing. The CSV you are trying to import. A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output right after you try to import the CSV file. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + J (if your computer is a Windows

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with passwords while Publishing there are a couple of things to check out: Password protection of published documents isn’t available to all account levels. Please see the Lucidchart Plans article for more information about the features available at each account level. If you are interested in upgrading please visit our Upgrade your Lucid account. If you created the document or the document has been explicitly shared with you then you will not be prompted for a password as you already have access to the document. If your document is embedded then password protect will not function on either the embedded document or published links. To resolve this please un-embed the document. Hope these help -- feel free to give us a heads up if you need further assistance!

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with Microsoft Teams here are a couple of specific things to check out: You will need to install the Lucidchart/Lucidspark app before you are able to use the integration. If you experience any trouble with this your admin for your organization's Microsoft Teams account may need to first enable your ability to install it. They can learn how to do this here. Our Microsoft Teams integration requires that the ability to create share links be enabled for your Lucid account. If you receive an error message regarding share links being disabled please reach out to your Lucid admin or internal IT team to see if they'd be willing to enable them. If the issue persists give us a heads up and send the following information: A screenshot of the issue including any error messages or pop ups that appear. The version of Microsoft Teams you are using (desktop vs online). Can you confirm whether the issue still occurs in the other version? If the issue occu

Hey Lucid users -- Here are a couple of specific things to look at when working with the OneDrive integration: You will need to enable the integration before you will see the OneDrive option. Please see the article linked above for instructions on how to enable it. This integration only allows for image import. You can't import any other type of file nor can OneDrive be used as a backup for your Lucidchart files.  If the issue persists give us a heads up with the following information: A screenshot of the issue including any error messages or pop ups that appear. A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output when the error occurs. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + J (if your computer is a Windows / Linux) OR Cmd + Opt + J (if your computer is a Mac).

Hey Lucid users -- if you're having trouble with Locking shapes there are few specific things to note: You can lock an object entirely or you can specifically lock it's size and position style or content. You can lock an object by either using the lock icon on the top toolbar or by right clicking the shape selecting "Lock/Unlock" and then selecting one of the specific lock options. If a shape is locked gray x’s will appear on the corners when you select it and a lock icon will appear in the top right corner. If you are wanting certain locked objects to remain locked when sharing with other users you first have to convert the document to a template. Otherwise collaborators with editing permissions will just be able to unlock the locked objects. If the issue persists please give us a heads up with the following information: A screenshot of the issue. A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output after reproducing the issue. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing C

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with Lucid Google Add-ons there are a couple of specific things to try:Connect to a different network to rule out any connection issues Open the Google Doc/Slide/Sheet in an incognito window to rule out browser interference Remove the diagram and then reinsert it If your diagram isn’t updating, verify that the correct diagram is inserted. In some cases if users have multiple similar diagrams they may have inserted a different one. If you resize the diagram to be larger than intended or if your diagram contains a lot of details it may appear blurry upon insertion. If this is the case I recommend exporting your diagram from Lucidchart as a JPEG or PNG and inserting it as an image. Please note that if the Lucidchart Add-on has been deployed by your admin you will be unable to uninstall it. If the issue persists please give us a heads up with the following information in the comments below:A screenshot of the issue.

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with our Gmail Add-on try out these troubleshooting steps: Would you mind connecting to a different network to rule out any connection issues? Could you also try opening your Gmail account in an incognito window to rule out browser interference? If the issue persists please give us a heads up including following information: A screenshot of the issue. A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output after reproducing the issue. You can open your Javascript Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + J (if your computer is a Windows / Linux) OR Cmd + Opt + J (if your computer is a Mac).

Hey Lucid Users -- when it comes to Custom Fonts there are a few specific things worth noting:   You can import TTC TTF or OTF files as custom fonts and any other font file type will not be supported. If you have uploaded a custom font into a document it should work for anyone who you share the document with. However if someone makes a copy or another version of the document and do not also have the custom font uploaded into their account the text will no longer appear correctly. This also applies to versions of the document that have been made into templates.  Please try the steps again in a Google Chrome Incognito browsing session. This often improves performance by clearing your cache and cookies and disabling your extensions.  If the issue persists please give us a heads up with the following information: A screenshot of the issue. The font file you are attempting to upload. A screenshot of the associated Javascript Console output after reproducing the issue.

LucidChart is incredibly laggy lately -- anyone else?

Any valuable use case of chatGPT and Lucid integration (via plugin)? What I get so far is chast simple linear charting. 

Your help in finding a way to split the screen while seeing another section either vertically or horizontally or a zoom screen as you do in visio.

Very simple yet difficult- I have something which i built. For example a lab diagram. All i want is to have square around it. But it is covering the diagram i just did. Why this simple thing is so hard? I couldn't find it..

My LucidChart Confluence Cloud Integration was working seamlessly until a week or so ago... then I was unable to use the Confluence macro /lucid (didn't seem to do anything.). Today I noticed most of the lucidchart objects embedded in my Confluence pages were broken (I'm guessing the auto-update tried to auto-update the diagrams and since the connector was broken it failed...)   I then went to the app configuration in Confluence - it looked okay - but I decided to disconnect and reconnect the connector.  When I disconnected the connector I got an LucidChart error that said Our servers experienced an error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The status of the connector changed to Grant Access.  So I try to Grant Access and I get the same error.

Hello. I want to know if it's possible to create a custom button which when pressed will connect to an external API and retrieve data to display inside another shape. I know Lucid has plugins via node but I'd rather just do it without coding a plugin. Is it possible?
