hi there! yes, this is absolutely possible. now there a few ways you can go about this, depending on your end-goal: 1. select the connector(s) you want reversed, and under the 'Arrange' tab in the right column, select 'Reverse'. to select all collectors in the diagram, right click on the canvas and select 'Select Edges'. this will be the method you'll follow for connectors you've applied 'Flow Animation' to and are wanting reversed, as the flow direction depends on the connector origin point and termination point (when you drag-and-drop). 2. swap the line end and line start arrow head/symbol. as you know, when you connect one shape to another, the beginning of the connector will have no arrow, and the end will. to swap them so the connector appears reversed, first click the connector(s), and navigate under the 'Style' tab at the right. find the line stroke size field (white box with "1 pt" and arrows), and UNDER THAT you will find two drop downs. click the left drop down, and select an arrow head- this is your Line start. then remove the arrow at Line end: click the right drop down and select 'None'. now, when you drag from shape A to shape B, the arrow will be pointing to shape A. then, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, to make this the DEFAULT, simply select one connector you've edited to your liking, and under the 'Style' tab in the right column, click the 'Set as Default Style' button. now each connector you create will appear reversed!! I hope this was helpful! I tried to make it as least confusing sounding as possible 😆 if this still didn't answer your question, no worries! here are a few resources I've gathered you might find helpful: - BLOG: 'Style connectors' --> www.drawio.com/doc/faq/connector-styles - VIDEO: 'Connector styling options in draw.io for Confluence' --> ruclips.net/video/yONxM0jaBO0/видео.html - VIDEO: 'Shortcut #39 - How to swap arrowheads in draw.io' --> ruclips.net/video/EzvlQT6NfJM/видео.htmlfeature=shared -emily, team draw.io 🧃
very cool product! I like it very much recommended your project to all my friends Well done development team please add the option so that in the dark theme the colors of the palette and coloring of the diagram blocks remain the same as in the light theme add the ability to change the default font size for all shapes from 12 to 14 p.s. google translate, RUS
Hello! We're thrilled that you're enjoying draw.io! 😊 Unfortunately, adjusting the colors of the palette isn't possible due to the nature of the dark/light mode switch. As for default font size, you can set the default font on a per-shape basis using the "Set as Default Style" button!

Thank you both for this informative tutorial. I am a new user and love the content, so I subscribed immediately. One question I have is when I try to modify an existing shape with another one, is there any way to have the text content added to the new shape, or do I have to type again all what was in the old shape?
Hi there! Yes, it is possible to keep the same text within a shape when changing it to a new one! Simply drag a shape from the shape library to the left over the existing shape, and drop once you see the blue cyclical arrows. Another way to do the same thing, is to select the shape you'd like to replace, hold shift, and click a shape from the left column. Either of these routes will replace the old shape with the new one, while keeping the text inside the shape! See this in action in one of our videos!

Hi Paul. The "Move selections to…" button has moved and can now be found behind the three vertical dots in the layer panel. You can activate it via Menu > View > Layers.
Hi Nicola. Of course you can always modify existing diagrams and make them your own. You have multiple options, you can even safe your extended diagram as a future template. From your comment we can't quite tell in which direction you like to head exactly. Feel free to contact us and specify your idea, we will help you succeed (marketing@drawio-app.com).
Hi Neal! You need to adjust the size according to your needs and then add it to your custom shape library once again to have a new default size. You can always modify it once you dragged it onto your workspace but I guess you like to make adjustments in the library already, correct?
Hi Kevin. Seems your questions didn't reach us :(. But of course, you will always get an answer to your questions if you turn to sales@draw.io. Best wishes and take care.
СПАСИБО (БЛАГО ДАРЮ!!!) за такой замечательный проект!
бесплатный, простой и в то же время очень функциональный, круто!
ваша команда - большие молодцы
Essas ferramenta é realmente incrível!! Muito facil de utilizar.

why so many dislikes? i like the dull and direct german style of presentation, no unnecessary fake emotions 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Pleasure learning from Lord Baelish himself.
Very helpful tool, Thank you

Hello there! I love the existing infographics but how do I customise the element- i.e. add another step or stage?

Good product

Awesome, we're glad to hear that!
how do i change the default size of a custom library shape dragged onto the editor?
Hi Neal! You need to adjust the size according to your needs and then add it to your custom shape library once again to have a new default size. You can always modify it once you dragged it onto your workspace but I guess you like to make adjustments in the library already, correct?
You said you were in in at 8.45 I asked several questions but never got replies.

It's pronounced GIF, not GIF!
Thanks
