This feature is only available with the Scenarios add-on.
Overview
This integration is intended as a way to bring the diagrams you've exported from Ardoq into Lucidchart back into Ardoq.
The Lucidchart Visual Importer can be found on the Integrations dashboard (Home > Imports & integrations).

Importing Diagrams
To start the analysis, you'll need to select a Lucidchart diagram with the Select document button on the right panel.
Selecting Workspaces
The workspace selector allows you to set the scope for the AI analysis. The component and reference types from the selected workspaces will be used in the diagram analysis to automatically determine the types for the references being brought in.
Once the relevant workspaces have been selected, run the analysis with Analyze.
Refining the Analysis
After the analysis has completed, you'll be presented with the discovered components and references. We recommend verifying that the AI interpretation was correct.
The visual importer has options to create any missed components and references, as well as to delete falsely identified ones.
Existing Components
Components that were originally exported from Ardoq to Lucidchart contain Ardoq IDs and will be identified as already existing in your workspaces.
Diagram Types and Limitations
The visual importer is designed around importing diagrams that were originally exported from Ardoq into Lucidcharts. However, the flexibility of the solution allows you to ingest a wide variety of non-Ardoq diagrams into Ardoq as components and references. Keep in mind that extremely large diagrams may fail analysis due to limitations in AI models.
Importing to Scenarios
Once you've made adjustments to your import, you can bring in any new and existing components into a scenario.
Scenarios serve as a staging ground before bringing in the data created from the diagram directly into Ardoq.
Once you're confident about the state of the scenario, you can merge it to the mainline data.
Known Limitations
You can only import components and references to new scenarios, not existing ones
