- A drag-and-drop interface
- Real-time co-authoring, shape-specific comments, and collaborative cursors
- Data linking
- Auto-visualization to generate org charts and ERDs
- SQL import and export capabilities
Lucidchart also supports importing files from draw.io, Gliffy, OmniGraffle, and Microsoft Visio.[15] The platform is integrated with Google Workspace and Drive, Microsoft Teams and other Office products, Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence, Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, and others.[13][15][16]
