Colors, sizes and fonts

Overview

Bizagi lets you customize the appearance of your diagrams.

You can modify the text format of elements, including size and font type. You can also add shading to elements, including Pools.

 

You can define default settings for the font style and/or size, or directly customize these display options in each diagram.
