Thank you so much! I love this. I’m a long-time user of Visio and really enjoying the shift to Gliffy.
Question: Is there any way to auto-number the shapes in a sequence? Visio has a feature that can do this and I was hoping Gliffy does as well. For example, the first shape is #01, second, #02, etc.,
I know I can also go in and manually add numbers to the shapes as part of the text, but curious if there is a way to have Gliffy do this for me. This is helpful when showing a diagram so that the audience can say, “shape #05, is….”

We're so glad Gliffy is working so well for you! There is not currently a way to automatically number steps in a process or sequence, but we could see how this could help you communicate the process to teammates. We will pass this opportunity along to our product team - thank you so much for pointing it out! 🙂

Question, every diagram can add meaning?
