Task guide

Start from a template safely

Choose a gallery example or insert a reusable pattern without confusing the two.

Before you start

Prerequisites
A desktop browser and a draft you want to keep.
Permissions and plan
Template download and local editing are free.

Steps

  1. Open Templates in the editor.

  2. Under Start a separate architecture example, choose a preview. It opens its own browser draft; return to your main draft using My browser draft or /app.

  3. To insert objects into the current page instead, choose Approval process or Service & data flow under Insert into this page. Undo removes that insertion.

  4. Select objects and connections, give the selection a name, and Save selected objects to reuse it in this browser. Export that selection to transfer it elsewhere.

  5. Use New diagram → Architecture examples for the same gallery catalog, or choose a blank diagram.

Check your work

Expected outcomeAn editable example draft or an inserted reusable pattern.

Next steps

Try the workflow in the editor, then use the reference for control details and model syntax.

If a step does not work, keep an export of your model and follow the troubleshooting guide. Include the error message when contacting support, without sharing credentials or private architecture.
