SODRAW and exTable

draw.io built into every document: a drawing is kept as an editable object, not a picture, changes again years later and becomes a company asset. Excel-like tables beside it.

In the handbook: chapter 11

  • The diagram stays editableInstead of pasting a screenshot, the draw.io drawing is stored inside the field.
  • Excel habits in textMulti-cell selection and table editing in the rich-text field.
  • The same tool in every fieldThe same command in a quotation note, a task description and a document.

SODRAW — diagrams

When you type /sodraw in a text field, the draw.io editor opens. Flowcharts, architecture drawings, installation plans, organisation charts — all of them live inside the document and can be edited again.

The drawing is stored as SVG and carries its own source data inside. So it is not just a viewable picture: when opened it is a diagram that can be edited again. When printed to PDF it keeps vector quality; even 400% zoom does not blur it.

exTable — tables

Tables inside rich text are edited much like Excel: multi-cell selection, inserting and deleting rows/columns, merging cells, copying format by dragging. For a small price table, a comparison matrix or a delivery plan there is no need to open a separate file.

Since the table sits in the field's own HTML, the field's version history covers it too: when an old revision is opened, the table appears as it was on that day.
