What this solves

Lynx Knowledge - Diagram Editor (drawio)

Diagram authoring inside Lynx Knowledge, powered by a self-hosted drawio (diagrams.net) editor embedded over its client-side postMessage protocol — the Visio-style counterpart to the document, spreadsheet and presentation editors.

A Knowledge article can hold a native .drawio diagram (Visio .vsdx files are imported on upload). Diagrams run entirely on Patrii infrastructure and coexist with the office editor: an article opens in drawio or the office engine based on its file type, not a single global switch.

Key Features

  • Diagram articles — a .drawio file lives in the article's document_content; the sidebar's New Diagram action seeds a blank canvas.

  • Real-time co-editing — edits are brokered over the Odoo bus with optimistic-version reconciliation, so several people edit one diagram live without an external collaboration server.

  • Live cursors and presence — a bundled drawio plugin renders remote cursors and selection, and a per-article presence list shows who is editing.

  • Patrii Cloud and Lynx shape libraries — organisation stencils are pushed to the editor at load time and opened by default in the shapes panel.

  • PDF export — the Knowledge Export PDF action renders the diagram through the drawio export service, so the exported PDF contains the actual diagram.

Integrates With

  • lynx_knowledge — the knowledge base and knowledge.article model.
