Hi ​@Tish Perez, thank you for posting in the Lucid Community!

To add shapes to a diagram key, you can drag and drop a shape from your canvas or shape library directly onto the diagram key shape. However, note that diagram keys can include basic shapes—including flowchart shapes, mind map shapes, and sticky notes. Other specific shapes may not be supported, if you’re unable to drag them onto your diagram key. Lines and arrows are also not supported.

 

Regarding finding that list of specific shapes and styles, here’s a guide item by item!

 

Solid, Dashed, Tick Arrows

You can change the style of your arrows by selecting an option in the Line Styles menu shown below, selecting from solid, dashed, tick arrows, change endpoint size, etc. You can also adjust the line width, line endpoints, and line style options from the menus shown below.

Solid and Dashed Borders

You can change border style of many basic shapes by selecting the Line Styles menu shown below. You can create dashed, dotted, or solid lines from this menu. 

Double Border

While we don’t have a specific double border, you could always group two shapes together, and if you’d like, create your own custom shape following these instructions

Group two process shapes
Grouped shape saved in a custom shape library

Shield, Approval Stamp, Checkmark, Warning Triangle, Cloud Shape

I recommend searching the shape library for these shapes! I was able to find a good handful of them, shown below, when searching the shape library.

 

 

If you’re having trouble finding a shape you’d like to use, you have a few options:

 

Callout ​​​​​​Note

You can add notes by right-clicking an object and selecting add note. There is also an option to add comments to communicate with collaborators!

 

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions or have any trouble with this.
