<\/div>

How can we make it better ? How can we improve the sharing mechanism? We had a thought about this and we are excited to introduce the projects as libraries feature. This means you can draw a bunch of diagrams, group them as a project and reuse those diagrams as objects<\/strong>.This is a powerful feature that makes it very easy to reuse existing diagram drawn by you and other users. How do you convert shared projects to libraries ? All you need is a single click. Bit similar to Community browser but more powerful and opens up endless opportunities.<\/p>\n

Adding Shared Projects as Libraries<\/h3>\n

All you need is one click. Simple open the shared project and click “Open as Library<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/a>

Convert Shared Projects into Libraries in One Click ( click to view larger image )<\/p><\/div>\n

Example on How to Use Shared Projects<\/h3>\n

Below example shows how users can take advantage of this powerful feature.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/a>

Ann creates websites footers and shares them<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Use<\/a>

David creates website headers and shares them<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Using<\/a>

Diagrams available to me as objects so I can reuse them<\/p><\/div>\n

Above is just one example but there are plenty more scenarios possible. But with so many diagram types available the possibilities are endless. This is taking team work and project sharing to the next level. So head over to Creately and give them a try and as always don’t forget to leave feedback via Facebook<\/a> , Twitter<\/a> and support mails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
