Flipping Horizontal Swim Lanes in Luicdchart

After clicking on the swim lane the flip feature is disabled. Are you not allowed to do this in Lucidchart? My goal is to place the header on the right side so that it remains visible once I bind the flowcharts.

Document Ownership Transfer

We worked on some process models for a client and now that the engagement has ended we need to transfer all the maps/ its ownership to them. The client has their own instance of LUCID Charts.  How do we transfer the files to them permanently so that: 1. The client has full ownership and rights of the models we prepared in their environment 2. We are not able to make any further changes to the files that we have created

Does Lucidpark support the requirement where the first artist can draw in an empty area of the canvas and will have his artwork appear at the front but in case of drawing in a not emply area his art will be behind?

I can not change my folder name in Japanese.

私は日本語でLucid Chartを利用しています。今日、Lucid上で新しいフォルダを作成してこの名前を変更しようとしました。しかし、日本語名をつけてEnterキーを押したところ、日本語の変換が確定されずにそのままフォルダ名が決定されてしまうようで、名前が「新規フォルダ」のままになってしまい、変更することができませんでした。他の文書で日本語名を記入し、貼り付けて決定をしたり、または英字名で、変換を必要としない入力をした場合は正常に変更することができます。少し前に、Lucidのドキュメント内で日本語の変換に関するバグが発生していたと思いますので、おそらく関連の事象だと考えられます。対応をよろしくお願いします。 ---- I use Lucid Chart in Japanese.Today I created a new folder on Lucid and tried to rename this.However when I gave it a Japanese name and pressed the Enter key the folder name seemed to be determined without confirming the Japanese conversion and the name remained "New Folder" and I could not change it.If the Japanese name was entered in another document pasted and determined or if an English name was entered that did not require conversion the name could be changed normally.I believe there was a bug related to Japanese conversion in the Lucid documentation a while ago so this is probably a related issue.Please take care of this issue.

Change the default file location in Google Drive

Every Lucid chart I create is saved to the same folder in Google drive. How can I change the default location? Now that I know I don't get a choice to change the location with each chart I would like to move it to a more generic location. Thanks Anthony S.

3rd Party Cookie Workaround ?

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

Schoology Integration TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

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:

Troubleshooting Shape NotesTroubleshooting

Hey Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with our Shape Notes there are a couple of things to look into: When a shape has a note a gray notepad icon will appear next to the shape. The only way to view the note is to click on this icon. The only way to add or delete a note is to right click on the shape and select "Delete Note". Notes are not visible when printing or downloading a diagram. Notes are different from comments although the icons will appear in the same place next to the shape. Comments are intended for collaboration whereas notes are for keeping diagrams concise by moving text to notes rather than keeping it all in a shape. Anyone you share the document with has the ability to see your Notes. 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 Ctrl+Shift+J (if your computer is a W

Salesforce Schema ERD Import Troubleshooting

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

Revision History Troubleshooting

Hi Lucid users -- if you are having trouble with Revision History there are a couple of things to take a look at: Revision History is only available to certain subscription levels. If you receive a message saying you are unable to view it you will need to upgrade to access your revision history. If you upgrade your revision history will be available from the beginning of your documents. Refer to our Upgrade your Lucid account. While making edits to your document Revision History will save a different version every few minutes. Pressing “Restore” will restore that copy over your current copy. If you are wanting to keep your current copy you will want to press “New from version”. While going back and forth between versions in your revision history it is possible that even the most recent version isn’t your current document. You have to exit revision history entirely to look at what your document looks like currently. If you accidentally restored your document to a previous version but w

Process Diagram Troubleshooting

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

Troubleshooting Passwords on Published Documents

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!

Microsoft Teams Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Microsoft Integration Troubleshooting

Hi Lucid users -- there are a few specific things worth checking out if you're having trouble with the Microsoft integration:The add-ins are only available for Word Online Excel Online Word 2013 and 2016 Excel 2013 and 2016 and Power Point 2016. The online version of Powerpoint as well as earlier versions of the desktop apps are not compatible with the add-in. If you are using a non-compatible version we would recommend exporting the diagram as an image and then inserting it into your document spreadsheet or presentation. The diagram you insert is directly connected to your Lucid account. You must be connected to the internet to be able to edit the diagram or insert a diagram. If you are experiencing performance issues with the add-in please try connecting to an alternate network. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the add-in (please note that if the add-in has been deployed by your admin you will be unable to uninstall). If you are a member of an Enterprise Lucid account please
