Import diagram from XPDL

The XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) is a format standardized by the Workflow management Coalition (WfMC) to interchange business process definitions between different workflow products. The XPDL format can store all aspects of a BPMN diagram, such as attributes, resources, etc. Also, some graphical information is held, for example position coordinates of the elements.

 

Using XPDL in Bizagi offers the possibility to share your diagrams with other modeling tools that use BPMN notation. You can import your diagrams to XPDL using the BPMN 2.0 notation shapes.

 

For more information about the currently supported XPDL version, refer to Supported standards.
