Adding New Shapes (Nodes) to Flowcharts

Adding new shapes and nodes means placing additional diagram objects on the QuoteCloud canvas to represent steps, decision points, entities, or data flows. Each shape acts as a container for text and metadata and becomes part of the editable flowchart structure you can style, connect, and reorganize to model processes, organisation charts, ER diagrams or data flow diagrams.

Open the diagram editor, choose a shape from the shape library, then click or drag it onto the canvas. Position the shape where you want it, edit its label or properties, and use alignment or snapping guides to keep layouts tidy. After placing shapes, use connector tools to draw lines and define relationships or flow directions.

Yes. After adding a node you can edit its text label, font, size, fill and border styles, colors and other visual properties to match your diagram or brand. Many properties are editable on a per-shape basis so you can visually distinguish decision points, actors, systems or data stores for clarity and consistency.

Absolutely. Once shapes are on the canvas you can drag them to new positions, resize them using on-canvas handles, group or ungroup multiple nodes, and delete any unwanted elements. These operations let you iterate quickly as your flowchart or organisational design evolves.

Use the diagram editor's connector or line tool to draw links between anchor points on shapes. Connectors typically snap to node attachment points and automatically route when you move connected shapes, keeping lines linked to their nodes and preserving flow direction with arrowheads or labels where supported.

QuoteCloud supports a wide range of diagram types including flowcharts, organisation charts, entity-relationship models and data flow diagrams. You can also create process maps or swimlanes to visualize approval or sales workflows—useful when documenting steps in your sales quoting software or sales proposal software processes.

Yes. Diagrams created in the editor can be embedded into generated documents, so your flowcharts and org charts appear directly inside proposals, quotes or other templates. You can also export diagrams as images or PDFs for use outside QuoteCloud, making it easy to include visuals in quote software or proposal software output.

Use alignment and snapping guides, consistent colors and fonts, and group related nodes to simplify rearrangement. Name nodes clearly, use layers or collapsible sections where available, and rely on templates for repeated patterns. These practices speed up editing and make diagrams easier to reuse in quote software and proposal software workflows.
