Linking Diagrams in Creately
This 2-min video demonstrates how easy it is to link to diagrams with Creately – Online Diagramming & Design and turn a simple sitemap into a rich environment for website planning & design.
—
So we’ve decided to use this Creately Help Topic to present Video Tutorials of the many ways you can enjoy Creately’s features in everyday work.
We kick off with our Diagram Linking feature. Diagram linking lets you link objects in your diagrams to an external URL or a Creately diagram.
1) External URL – this could be any standard website address, like http://www.myclient.com.
2) An Internal Creately Diagram – This opens ups great possibilties for Sitemaps, Mockups and even software design.
Check it out.
Leave us your feedback and suggestions for more Video Tutorials.

Hi. Can i upload my personal images in this system? It use flash or vectors format? Thanks
Sure you can. Use the 1-Click Image upload button, which is in the Main Toolbar on the top on the application, to select an image from your desktop to upload into your diagrams.
I should add that at the moment the Creately 1-click Image upload supports raster images, e.g. jpg, png, gif. If you would like to see other formats supported please head to http://support.creately.com/ and add an idea of vote up the current ones.

This looks great! I signed up for an account so I can create UI mockups for a software engineering class. Next step: find some way to capture screen flows. Hoping that Creately would help in this regard, and sure enough, it’s there.
Thanks!
p.s. I hear echo in the tutorial but not too bad.
I don’t seem to have a “browse” button in Creately for Confluence. Is this correct or should I be able to browse diagrams I have in my confluence instance?
@James, The browse button is not there in Confluence because in Confluence you can only link to other pages ( external or internal ). A work around for this is to create a diagram on a page and link that page from an object. Hope this helps
