We need some way to create and edit network diagrams and flowcharts. Downloading a visio-file for editing and then uploading it again is too much hassle.
YES Please either integrate or include or something along those lines. We have constant need to update our docs pictorially, which, honestly should be done inside of the one, the only doc system… HUDU. Doesn't have to be draw io. There are multiple drawing systems that I think can be done in a way that adds minimal new storage load to HUDU. It also could be an integration where the data resides with us not you.

Bookstack has Draw. Io directly in their Wiki documents, and live editing and updating for all users, Bookstack is a free open source platform, if they can do it Hudu can!

I wrote in an another idea somewhere, that personally, I would love it if we can draw from assets - e.g. use custom fields to control the hierarchy and automatically map items out. … I still feel that way, but, simple drawings as well would be cool!

William H. Drawing from the assets available would just make soo much sense, then they're hyperlinked to the item - you can then see the UN/PW for the item to jump onto.

I also work with bookstack on the side. As a computer scientist, I am always dependent on network drawings for customers. We do this with draw.io. Please integrate this feature in the near future! Downloading/uploading and integrating with iframe is not a workload reduction for me, but an additional effort. Time is often of the essence and documentation is always postponed when such a procedure is imminent.

We need it integrated in Hudu, so everybody in the field can correct the drawings. I think thats one of the important needings.

Any update on this, it’s a 3 year old request?

Would love to see in-place editing.
Embeds work beautifully with LucidChart even brings in updates almost instantly, had some odd issues with draw.io not updating in Hudu though when the doc was edited in draw.io

Ramon D.: I agree that LucidChart is the better choice if I was the only one using Hudu.
However if i make a chart in LC and embed it in Hudu, my coworkers cant edit the chart, only view it. I know they can request access and all that, but thats way to much hassle.
in Draw.io anyone can edit the chart without any fuss. They just have to re-embed it after editing.
If Draw.io would update like LC does, problem would be solved :)

That would significantly improve user-friendliness!

Coming from bookstack this is one of the features sorely missing in the editor.
