Start with the right path, not the full tree.
OpenFlowKit has multiple ways to begin: canvas-first editing, AI-assisted drafting, code-backed diagrams, and structured imports. This page is the fastest way to choose the right route.
Start Here
Choose by what you need to do next
These are the highest-signal entry points for new users and returning users who want a fast answer.
Start the editor fast
Open a document, choose a starting point, and get to a usable diagram quickly.
Learn the core surfaces
Understand the canvas, command center, Studio, and export/share model before you go deep.
Pick the right input mode
Decide when to use canvas editing, AI, OpenFlow DSL, Mermaid, or structured imports.
Work with AI intentionally
See where AI fits, where it helps, and how to avoid treating it like a one-shot generator.
Common Journeys
Use docs by workflow, not just by feature name
The docs are easier to navigate when they are framed around the work you are trying to finish.
Architecture diagrams
The fastest path from icons, AI, and layout into a presentable architecture map.
ReferenceCode-backed diagrams
Use OpenFlow DSL when the diagram model needs to stay structured and editable.
WorkflowImport existing systems
Bring in SQL, OpenAPI, and other structured sources without starting from scratch.
DecisionShare or export
Choose the right output path for docs, handoff, review, and collaboration.
