What is SyncupHUB Canvas?

SyncupHUB Canvas is a collaborative visual board for discovery, planning and design, built into the same workspace that runs delivery. Sticky notes, flowcharts, UML, ERD and architecture diagrams live on it, and any shape can link to a real story, risk or decision, so the thinking from a workshop does not end up as a photograph.

How it works

  1. Start from a template

    Discovery, quarterly planning, customer journey mapping and feature brainstorming each have a reusable template.

  2. Work together, live

    Teams add sticky notes, shapes and connectors at the same time, and the board keeps a history of every change.

  3. Link the thinking to the work

    Any note or shape can link to a story, risk or decision, and dependencies surface as ideas connect, while the workshop is still running.

  4. Let AI propose, then review

    AI-assisted diagram proposals arrive as suggestions you review before anything lands on the board.

What’s included

  • Sticky notes, templates and live collaboration
  • Flowchart, UML, ERD, architecture, cloud and Kubernetes shape libraries
  • Nodes linked to stories, risks and decisions
  • Dependency mapping while you brainstorm
  • Reviewable AI-assisted diagram proposals
  • Import from draw.io, Mermaid, Visio and selected Lucidchart exports
  • Board history

What it needs

Stated plainly, before a demo does.

  • Import fidelity is format-specific, so complex diagrams are worth a review after import.
  • AI diagram proposals stay suggestions until someone accepts them.

Questions about Visual Canvas

What is SyncupHUB Canvas used for?

Canvas is the visual board inside SyncupHUB for discovery, planning and design. It supports sticky notes, templates, flowcharts, UML, ERD and architecture diagrams, and links any shape to the story, risk or decision it is about, so workshop output becomes linked work.

Can I import diagrams from draw.io, Visio or Mermaid?

Yes. Canvas imports from draw.io, Mermaid, Visio and selected Lucidchart exports. How faithfully a diagram comes across depends on the format, so a complex diagram is worth a quick review after import.

How does Canvas connect to delivery work?

Any note or shape can link to a story, risk or decision in the workspace. Because Canvas runs on the same platform as delivery, those links are live: the story on the board is the story in the backlog, not a copy of it.

Can AI create diagrams on the canvas?

AI can propose a diagram, such as an architecture or a flow, and the proposal appears for review. Nothing is added to the board until someone accepts it.
