Create / Open / Clone / Delete / Rename ERD
Covers how to create ERDs, open them from the list, rename them, delete them, and apply clone requests.
Management Overview
ERD management is split across the left ERD list, the right General panel, and the clone wizard.
| Task | Entry Point | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Create | + NEW ERD in the left ERD list or New ERD from a Connection/Schema context menu | Creates a new ERD with title, Connection, and Schema scope, then opens it as a tab. |
| Open | Click a row in the left ERD list | Opens the selected ERD in the editor and marks the row active. |
| Search | Search input at the top of the left ERD list | Filters ERDs by title. |
| Rename | ERD Name input in the right General panel | Marks the ERD title as changed and saves it with the Save button. |
| Delete / Share / Clone | List delete icon, right DELETE button, More menu, or clone wizard | Deletes after confirmation, shares the ERD to the gallery, or prepares a public ERD clone for the target project, Connection, and Schema. |
Create ERD
Create a new ERD by entering a title and choosing a Connection and Schema scope.
Check the left ERD list
In the ERD area at the bottom of the left panel, check the current project's ERD list.
Click + NEW ERD
Click + NEW ERD at the top of the list. You can also right-click in the left connection tree and choose New ERD from the context menu. When opened this way, the relevant Connection is prefilled, and if you started from a specific Schema, that Schema is selected as well.
Enter the ERD title
The default title is New ERD. When the modal opens, the title input is focused and selected for immediate typing.
Select a Connection
Connection is required. If the project has exactly one Connection, it is selected automatically. Otherwise, choose one from the list.
Select the Schema scope
Schema is optional. Keep All Schemas to allow every schema, or choose a specific Schema to limit the ERD.
Create with Confirm
If the default title and default Connection are already filled in, you can create the ERD by clicking Confirm as-is. After changing only the values you need, click Confirm to add the ERD to the top of the list and open it as a tab.
The Connection and Schema scope selected during creation becomes the rule for adding tables later. Tables from another Connection or from a Schema outside the selected scope cannot be added to the same ERD.
ERD List / Search / Open
The left ERD list merges private and team ERDs and sorts them by latest modified date.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| + NEW ERD | Opens the create ERD modal. |
| Search input | Filters by ERD title using lowercase comparison. If nothing matches, an empty search result state is shown. |
| ERD Name column | Shows the Connection profile color, DBMS icon, private/team/published badge, and ERD title. |
| Tables column | Shows the number of tables included in the ERD. |
| Row click | Opens the ERD in the current editor tab unless its Connection is disabled. |
| Disabled row | Rows with disabled Connections are displayed as disabled and cannot be opened. |
Rename ERD
Change the ERD title from the ERD Name input in the right General panel.
Open the ERD
Click the ERD in the left list to open it in the editor.
Find the right General panel
In the selected ERD's basic information area, locate the ERD Name input.
Enter a new name
Changing the ERD Name updates the local ERD model and marks the ERD as changed.
Save the change
When Save is enabled, click it to persist the new title. The list and tab title update after save.
Typing a new name does not immediately publish it to shared storage. Use Save after editing so the same name is visible in the list and other screens.
Delete ERD
ERDs can be deleted from the left list or from the DELETE button in the right General panel.
| Entry Point | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Delete icon in the list row | Opens a confirmation dialog for that ERD only. The click is separated from row opening. |
| DELETE in the right General panel | Opens a confirmation dialog for the currently open ERD. After deletion, closing the editor tab is requested. |
| Published ERD deletion | If the ERD is published to the gallery, the confirmation message warns that the gallery version is also deleted. |
Private / Team Storage
List badges show whether an ERD is private, team-shared, or published.
| Type | Sharing Scope | Management Note |
|---|---|---|
| Private ERD | Managed under your account | The right More menu can move it to team storage or publish it to the gallery. |
| Team ERD | Shared with project members | Shared with the team. The right More menu can copy it into your private ERDs. |
Share to Gallery
A finished ERD can be published to the public gallery from the More menu in the right General panel. Once published, that ERD becomes available for other users to clone.
Open the ERD to share
Click the ERD in the left ERD list to open it in the editor.
Open the right More menu
In the right General panel, open the More menu. For a private ERD, choose Publish to Public.
Enter public details and publish
Review the title, description, tags, and other information shown in the gallery, then click Publish to post the ERD to the public gallery.
Manage the published ERD
Published ERDs are marked with a Published badge in the list. From the same More menu, use Update Gallery to push the current ERD back to the gallery, or Unpublish to take it down.
When you delete an ERD that is published to the gallery, the confirmation message warns that the gallery version will also be deleted.
ERD Clone Wizard
The clone wizard prepares a public ERD clone request from the gallery by connecting it to a target project, Connection, and Schema.
Start from the gallery
Open the public ERD you want to bring in from the web gallery, then click the share button to start the flow for bringing it into your project.
Open a clone request
Click a PENDING or FAILED clone request card from the inbox/notification area to open the clone wizard.
Select the target project
In clone wizard Step 1, select the project that will receive the clone. When you select a project, the wizard loads that project's Connection list.
Select Connection and Schema
Choose the target Connection and Schema. When a Connection is selected, the first Schema is selected automatically.
Review conversion preview
In clone wizard Step 2, the wizard builds a table preview for the target DBMS. If the source and target DBMS differ, conversion banners and warnings can appear.
Save as ready
In clone wizard Step 3, click SAVE AS READY to record the clone request's target project, Connection, and Schema information.
Apply in the target project
READY requests are automatically picked up when entering the target project. Completed requests are not reopened.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PENDING | No target project, Connection, and Schema has been selected yet. Clicking it opens the wizard. |
| READY | The target has been selected and the request is waiting to be applied in the target project. |
| IN_PROGRESS / COMPLETED | The request is being applied or has finished. COMPLETED items are not opened again. |
| FAILED / CANCELLED | FAILED requests can be reopened to choose target information again; CANCELLED requests are not opened. |
