Rendering tips

• Ensure the file’s syntax is valid; invalid content may show as text or an error.

• Large or complex diagrams may take longer to render.

Permissions

• Each viewer must have access to the repository to see the rendered diagram.

Troubleshooting

• Diagram won’t render: Validate syntax locally, then refresh.

• File not found: Verify the selected branch and path.
