Mermaid Whiteboard: Visual Collaboration Made Universal

2 mins

The Mermaid Whiteboard combines Mermaid syntax with a drag-and-drop interface, making it easier for teams to create, edit, and refine diagrams together. Whether you prefer working with code, visuals, Mermaid AI or all three, this tool adapts to your needs while keeping everything tied to Mermaid’s syntax.

Key Features

1. Dual-Mode Editing

Switch seamlessly between code and visuals. Use Mermaid syntax, Mermaid AI, or the Whiteboard interchangeably. You can toggle between modes via the “Whiteboard” and “Mermaid AI” tab for full flexibility.

2. Drag-and-Drop Functionality

Quickly rearrange, resize, and connect diagram elements without writing code. Perfect for non-technical collaborators.

3. Design Controls

Customize your diagram by moving and resizing nodes, adjusting layouts, and emphasizing key elements.

4. Collaboration and Accessibility

The Whiteboard is designed for teams of all skill levels. Diagrams remain editable across formats, so everyone can contribute.

5. Auto-Save and Accessibility

Diagrams are automatically saved in real-time and can be accessed anytime under the ‘My Projects’ tab in your Mermaid account.

Example Use Case

A product manager drafts a system integration flow using Mermaid syntax. Their teammate edits it in the Whiteboard, creating a polished diagram without writing additional code.
