🎚️ Diagram Detail Levels

dbdocs

We’ve been listening closely to your feedback, and we understand how challenging it can be to work with diagrams containing hundreds of tables and thousands of columns. As a result, we’re pleased to present Diagram Detail Levels.

You can now toggle between displaying all columns, displaying only key (PK, FK) columns, or even hiding all columns, providing a global switching option for the entire diagram. Adjust the detail level to your needs, from a high-level overview of the entire database to specifics on individual tables.

This feature is immediately available to everyone. However, similar to dbdiagram, it may be moved to a paid offering when we introduce paid plans in dbdocs in the future.

πŸš€ Publish database documents via dbdiagram

dbdocs

Many users asked us to link dbdocs and dbdiagram (our other product that allows you to draw ER diagrams by writing code) to improve the editing experience with online editing and collaboration features.

And we couldn't agree more. That's why we worked so hard to bring you our new feature: the ability to publish your database documents via dbdiagram.

In addition to editing your database definition (DBML) on your local machine and publishing it via the dbdocs CLI, you can now use dbdiagram as an online editor to quickly edit your database documentation.

FAQs

  1. What happens if I update a diagram after publishing it to dbdocs? Will the dbdocs document automatically update?

    Changes to your diagram will not automatically update the dbdocs document.

  2. What if I don't already have a dbdiagram account?

    You’ll need to log in to the dbdiagram using your email address to get the project list from the dbdocs account associated with your email.


As always, we appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please give this feature a shot and let us know what you think.


πŸš€ Publish dbdiagram to dbdocs

dbdiagram

We are pleased that dbdiagram has assisted many individuals and teams in database design and implementation.

However, we believe database development does not end there.

While dbdiagram aids in the early stages of database design, dbdocsβ€”a tool that helps you generate database documentation pages from the same database definition (DBML) in dbdiagramβ€”can help you improve the transparency and visibility of your database projects by streamlining collaboration and communication with your team.

To take a further step in combining these two products, we're thrilled to announce a new feature: the ability to publish your dbdiagram to dbdocs!

Simply click the "Publish to dbdocs" button in the header, then choose whether to publish new database documentation or update existing projects in the dbdocs account associated with your email.
