We’re thrilled to announce a major enhancement to OpenDocs, our flagship AI-powered knowledge management tool from Visual Paradigm. As a leading knowledge management tool and online documentation solution, OpenDocs already empowers teams to create, organize, and share rich documents, diagrams, and knowledge bases seamlessly. Today, we’re taking usability to the next level with the introduction of a full WYSIWYG editor for page content editing.
What’s New: From Raw Markdown to Intuitive WYSIWYG Editing
In the past, editing document pages in OpenDocs relied on raw Markdown code – powerful for technical users but sometimes challenging for others who prefer a more visual approach. We’ve listened to your feedback and are excited to roll out our brand-new WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
Now you can:
- Edit content visually with real-time formatting – no more guessing how Markdown syntax will render.
- Use familiar toolbar controls for bold, italics, headings, lists, tables, links, and more.
- Seamlessly insert AI-generated images, diagrams, or embed existing diagrams without leaving the editor.
- Maintain full compatibility with previous Markdown-based documents – they open and edit perfectly in the new interface.
This upgrade makes OpenDocs an even more accessible and powerful AI-powered knowledge management tool for everyone – from business analysts and software architects to project managers, educators, and teams building comprehensive knowledge bases.
Why This Matters for Your Workflow
The new WYSIWYG editor removes barriers to productivity while preserving all the core strengths of OpenDocs as a top-tier knowledge management tool:
- AI-Powered Diagram Generation – Instantly create professional diagrams (Class, Sequence, Use Case, ArchiMate, Activity, and more) from simple text prompts.
- Integrated Visual Storytelling – Embed and edit diagrams directly in your documents for unmatched clarity.
- Collaborative Spaces – Organize everything in hierarchical Spaces and share read-only versions with a single link.
- Web-Based & Always Up-to-Date – No installation required; access your knowledge management tool from any browser.
Whether you’re documenting complex systems, creating project wikis, or building team knowledge bases, this enhancement makes professional results faster and more intuitive.
Who Benefits Most from This Update?
The WYSIWYG editor is especially valuable for:
- Business and system analysts creating requirement models and process documentation
- Software engineers and architects designing and documenting architectures
- Project managers maintaining consistent project knowledge bases
