Still have questions?<\/h2>\n

What is the C4 model?<\/h2>\n

The C4 model is a hierarchical approach to visualizing software architecture at four levels of abstraction: \u2022 Level 1 – System Context: Shows your system and how it interacts with users and other systems \u2022 Level 2 – Containers: Shows the high-level technical building blocks (applications, databases, etc.) \u2022 Level 3 – Components: Shows the internal structure of a container \u2022 Level 4 – Code: Shows how a component is implemented<\/p>\n

How do I create my first project?<\/h2>\n

Click the ‘+’ button in the sidebar or ‘New Project’ from the dashboard, enter a project name, and start adding Systems. Use the right-click context menu for quick actions.<\/p>\n

How do I navigate between architecture levels?<\/h2>\n

Double-click any element to drill down. Use breadcrumbs to go back up, or the level tabs to jump directly to any level.<\/p>\n

How do I create my first project?<\/h2>\n

To create your first project: 1. Click the ‘+’ button in the sidebar or use ‘New Project’ from the dashboard 2. Enter a project name and optional description 3. Your project will be created with an empty System Context diagram 4. Click ‘Add’ to start adding Systems, then drill down to add Containers, Components, and Code elements Tip: Use the right-click context menu on any element for quick actions.<\/p>\n

Navigation in Archyl is intuitive: \u2022 Double-click any element to drill down to the next level \u2022 Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top to go back up \u2022 The level tabs (System Context, Container, Component, Code) let you jump directly to any level \u2022 Use the sidebar project tree to navigate directly to any element<\/p>\n

Can I import an existing architecture?<\/h2>\n

Yes! Archyl supports multiple ways to import architecture: \u2022 AI Discovery: Connect a Git repository and let AI analyze your codebase automatically \u2022 ADR Discovery: Import Architecture Decision Records from your repository \u2022 Documentation Discovery: Import existing markdown documentation Go to Project Settings to configure repository connections and run discoveries.<\/p>\n

What elements can I add at each level?<\/h2>\n

Each C4 level supports different element types: \u2022 System Context (Level 1): Software Systems, Persons, External Systems \u2022 Container (Level 2): Services, APIs, Web Apps, Mobile Apps, Databases, Caches, Message Queues, File Storage \u2022 Component (Level 3): Controllers, Handlers, Repositories, Adapters, Middleware, Utilities, Models \u2022 Code (Level 4): Classes, Interfaces, Structs, Functions, Methods, Enums, Constants, Types<\/p>\n

To create a relationship: 1. Click and drag from one element’s edge to another element 2. A connection line will appear as you drag 3. Release on the target element 4. A modal will appear where you can describe the relationship and add technical details Relationship types include: Uses, Depends on, Calls, Reads from, Writes to, Sends to, Receives from, Implements, Extends, Contains.<\/p>\n

What are overlays and how do I use them?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
