Diagram Editor — Draw.io Inside Azure DevOps Repositories (Files, PRs) and Work Items

Work item diagram integration

Repositories (Files, Pull Requests) integration

What This Extension Does

Bring draw.io directly into your Azure DevOps Repositories (Files, PRs) and Work Items. Diagram your requirements, flows, and system designs without ever leaving your board.

No tab switching: your diagrams live in your Azure DevOps work items.

⚡ Easy to Use — Clean and simple interface, no learning curve. Open a work item and start drawing.

🖱️ One-Click Setup — Install and start using immediately. No configuration required.
