Since version 1.7.84, the previous Diagrams functionality has been moved to the Library and renamed Shapes. This reflects our goal to extend the number and type of objects that will be available in the Library. The Power-user Library lets you find and insert shapes, diagrams and other objects into your documents.

How to insert shapes from the Library
- From the Power-user tab, click Library, and then Shapes.
- Browse through the list of shapes, or filter with the searchbar or the categories.
- Simply click a shape to insert it on your current slide.
The Library includes various shapes. Below are some examples you can find:




Dynamic shapes (previously called diagrams)
Some shapes from the Library have a dynamic behavior, which allows to edit them easily, in a way similar to SmartArts.
Such shapes include:
- Harvey balls for which you can define the percentage
- Traffic lights for which you can change the light color
- Value chains for which you can specify the number of steps / chevrons
- Ratings for which you can easily define a number of stars
- ... and many more
They can be identified in the Library via a specific icon, as shown below:

When selecting them, you can for instance increase or decrease the number of items displayed without having to do any manual edits.
For this, just insert and select one of these dynamic shapes, and a contextual menu will show up allowing you to edit it, as shown below:

Be aware that if you ungroup a dynamic shape, it may no not be possible to edit it dynamically anymore.Adding custom shapes to the Library [Coming soon]
We are already working on the next phase of this functionality, so you can bring custom shapes to your Library!
