[alderg]

Install: draw.io for Notion Chrome browser extension

A new diagram section will be added at the last clicked location in your Notion page.

Troubleshooting diagrams in Notion

If Insert a diagram does not work, try reloading the page or click on the link below the button and drag the downloaded file into the Notion page.

You can also use this Notion template or insert any *.drawio.svg file that was created with our online or desktop app.

Diagrams created with prior versions of this plugin will no longer adapt to dark mode automatically due to performance reasons. Those diagrams can be updated using the Update diagrams section of the popup window. By selecting Update diagrams, all affected diagrams in the current page will be updated. This only needs to be done once per page.

Hi, I follow the steps here since my Insert diagram did not work at all. I manage to insert the SVG when I click click here, but the editing functionality around the SVG did not appear.

I am using chrome

I had to change the permission on the extenstion to be a little more permissive before the I could edit the diagram that I dragged in, according to the fallback instructions. The default is to allow the plugin to access only https://www.notion.so or something.

Thanks Marvin. In detail:

• Right click the extension and choose "Manage extension" to find this setting. (The quick access method didn't work for me.)
• I also had to enable "Automatically allow access on the following sites" - just above the specific site permissions.

Is your Notion running on a domain other than notion.so?

Every time I try to embed a file in Notion I get the message "Not a diagram file". It is shared publicly and shows up when I go to the link directly, but will not show up in Notion.

I have tried this with a single page and multiple page diagrams.net file. Any suggestions?

This comment resolved it for me. #3309 (comment)

How are you embedding the file and what URL are you using?

[jim-hohl]

I have tried several different ways. The one that I would expect to work is File>Embed>Notion.

But when I do, I get this error:

I have also tried with the Diagrams.io Notion plugin, which gives me this error:

I'm locking this thread because of the number of "me too" posts.

#3309 (comment) explains the workaround. If you still have an idea after trying that, please post a new issue with environment detail and reproduction steps.
