### 1. How to load

To load drag the solution onto the drag and drop rectangle or click to upload and select the export.

<figure><img src="/files/hYW2S2BhZtdZl5aL3OJf" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The solution will load as a linked diagram, with components referenced linked.

<figure><img src="/files/To0u1YIVDohcAGJLqRnu" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In the example above you can see what connection references are used in each flow, what flows are called as child flows, and which environment variable is used in a agent.

### 2. Views

There are 2 views to show components that can be set by clicking the hamburger menu and toggling diagram mode.

<figure><img src="/files/iUIBYujxbynYUzKLAatH" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Diagram Mode

Shows components and links that represent the use of other components

<figure><img src="/files/AG930N9SJmeVjpKC6lI5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The above shows that the Get Registry flow is called by the Pre Export flow and uses the Environment list table and Dataverse-PipeLine connection reference.

#### List Mode

List mode groups all components by type and lists them.

### 3. Components

The following components are supported:

<table><thead><tr><th width="136.3333740234375">Icon</th><th>Component</th><th>Relationships</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><img src="/files/MAJJYNVQGBjsuNse6x2P" alt=""></td><td>Flows</td><td>Connection Reference, Environment Variables, Apps, Agents, Tables, Functions</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/5iuAem60dPLtGVU7r7pZ" alt=""></td><td>Canvas Apps</td><td>Connection Reference, Environment Variables, Tables, Functions</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/5iUfh4WeqEJH7413T18I" alt=""></td><td>Model Driven Apps</td><td>Connection Reference, Environment Variables, Tables</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/tcfGoxf7CNI54bisS1ZZ" alt=""></td><td>Copilot Studio Agent</td><td>Connection Reference, Environment Variables, Flows, Tables</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/gGIePNdd62Z7i7RNHC56" alt=""></td><td>Connection References</td><td>Flows, Canvas Apps, Model Driven Apps, Copilot Studio Agent, Custom Connectors</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/LqwO6FGFVu1GBZMUHCFo" alt=""></td><td>Environment Variable</td><td>Flows, Canvas Apps, Model Driven Apps, Copilot Studio Agent</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/3vEvdgKwYmdRDyCGeOZQ" alt=""></td><td>Custom Connector (shows connector icon)</td><td>Connection References</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/6Hk9soIJqlbRv8KUuH43" alt=""></td><td>Dataverse Functions</td><td>Flows, Canvas Apps</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/EfGvpFrbsd3mb7pIN8xe" alt=""></td><td>Security Role</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/2ZYShFcVUUXiRQ3JEeJh" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td>Ai Builder Models</td><td>Flows, Canvas Apps</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/by475Gk3S3ugo4cfJPt6" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td>Dataflows</td><td>Flows</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/apd13R2ncUXAAAeHDY80" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td>Web Resources</td><td></td></tr><tr><td> <img src="/files/yULZe5gvNPozJ4uLPNUW" alt=""></td><td>Missing Dependencies (off by default)</td><td>Every Component</td></tr></tbody></table>

### 4. Links

To improve visibility of relationships link lines can be clicked to highlight them in red.

<figure><img src="/files/Xri0m8xK3lNm6IIajX16" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click again to remove the highlighting. Multiple lines can be highlighted at once.

### 5. Filters

Solution Explorer includes 2 types of filters, component and flow name.

<figure><img src="/files/P8R7fej7rUuLV5jD81rU" alt="" width="374"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Component

Remove the checkbox against a component will remove it from the diagram.

<figure><img src="/files/Tc0RtVPgBfEt201qU00R" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Flow

The flows can be filtered by contains word or doesnt contain word. Adding a word will filter flows so that only flows with the matching text will show in the diagram

<figure><img src="/files/Q6YVSK37VQRFx531IvH3" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A not contains filter is also availble, with the ! prefix. So in this case it will only show flows that do not contain the text in the display name.

<figure><img src="/files/HWd96pb1shR217sC6x0N" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 6. Export

There are 3 types of exports.

* SVG
* PNG
* CSV

<figure><img src="/files/sI2UFvH79fr7bJ9uwFPU" alt="" width="347"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

SVG exports the diagram as a SVG, this is a vector image so can be scaled (zoomed in/out) without losing resolution (SVGs are not compatible with some image software, but are with web browsers).

PNG are standard image exports, you can download in 3 sizes, Low (1024 pixels wide), Medium (2048 pixels wide), and High (4094 pixels wide).&#x20;

CSV creates a table of all the components by name, id(or unique name) and type.&#x20;
