Create/Open a Document

You can start drawing from scratch with a new blank document or build from a pre-designed template.

To create a new document directly, find the desired diagram type in the document page and click the plus icon.

Besides, press Ctrl + N or click the New button on the Quick Access Toolbar in the workspace.

To choose and open a template, find the template that you like in the template gallery, simply click its thumbnail, and it will open in the workspace.

To open an Edraw file, you can click Open on the document page, select one of the file paths and find your document.
