Steps to add a node to your Diagram

Locate the Insert Nodes section

In the right-hand settings panel, find the Insert Nodes section, which displays a variety of available shapes.

3

Drag and drop a shape

Pick a shape (such as a rectangle for a process step or a diamond for a decision), drag it from the side panel, and drop it onto the diagram canvas where you want it to appear.

4

Position the node

Once dropped, you can click and drag the node to align it perfectly with the other stages of your flowchart.

5

Prepare for connection

With the node in place, it is now ready to be connected to other shapes, moved further, or edited for content.
