    Version 3.8.0 - June 2026
    • New:
      • Replace an existing shape in a modeling diagram with a different shape type
      • The width of the right side panel on the modeling diagram canvas is saved as a user preference and persists across sessions
    Version 3.6.1 - March 2026
    • New: Added support for Architecture Analyzer.
    • Fixed:
      • Fixed a bug where the user was allowed to modify the details of shapes for read-only diagrams.
      • Supports up to 400% zoom level on the right side panel of the Enterprise Modeling and Visualization diagram page.
    Version 3.5.0 - December 2025
    • New: Streamlined entity creation: The Create new workflow for entities has been improved. You can now create entities by providing only the name while adding the entity to the diagram. The remaining fields can be filled in before committing the diagram. This simplifies and accelerates the entity creation process. Added Relationship tab for grouped AWS entities: A Relationship tab is added for entities grouped within an AWS group shape. Since these entities are connected through the grouped behavior rather than individual connector lines, this tab allows you to view and manage relationships.
