Technical documentation

These diagrams make technical context easier to understand for engineers, architects, product managers, support teams and stakeholders.

#Typical scenarios

#System context diagrams

Show users, products, services and external systems.

#Architecture diagrams

Applications, platforms, integrations, cloud infrastructure or data pipelines.

#Sequence diagrams

Explain how systems interact during key transactions or incidents.

#Network and deployment diagrams

Document environments, regions, dependencies and ownership.

#Other diagrams

Runbooks, design decisions, implementation plans and support documentation.

#How teams use it

• Architects sketch high-level system context before moving into detailed service or deployment views

• Engineers use diagrams in design pages to explain proposed changes before implementation

• Support and operations teams use architecture diagrams to understand dependencies during incidents

#Why Capable Diagrams helps here

• Gives technical pages a visual entry point before readers go into detailed design notes

• Helps teams review architecture decisions and spot missing dependencies

• Supports common technical formats such as Mermaid, PlantUML, C4-style modelling and visual sketching

• Makes diagrams part of Confluence documentation instead of separate files that go stale

#Useful follow-up pages

• Simulate BPMN Diagrams in Confluence

• Interactive diagrams

• Using the Capable editor
