Whether you're incorporating a wireframe into a project management tool or sharing a flowchart in a company wiki, embedding ensures that your visuals are accessible right where your team works. This guide will walk you through the process of embedding Whimsical docs and diagrams, making your collaborative efforts more seamless and integrated.
Steps to Embed Whimsical Docs and Diagrams
Embedding Whimsical content into other platforms is straightforward. Follow these steps to get started:
- Select the Doc or Diagram
- Open the Whimsical doc or diagram you wish to embed. Ensure that it's finalized and ready to be shared with your team or stakeholders.
- Access the Share Settings
- Click on the "Share" button located at the top right of the Whimsical interface. This will open the sharing options for your document or diagram.
- Enable Sharing
- In the share settings, ensure that the document or diagram is set to "Anyone with the link can view." This is necessary for the embedding to work outside of Whimsical.
- Copy the Embed Code
- Look for an option labeled "Embed" or "Get embed code." Click on it, and you'll be presented with an HTML embed code. Copy this code to your clipboard.
- Paste the Embed Code into Your Platform
- Navigate to the platform where you want to embed the Whimsical content. This could be a project management tool, a wiki, or any platform that supports HTML embedding. Paste the embed code into the appropriate section or editor.
- Adjust the Size (Optional)
- Depending on where you're embedding the Whimsical content, you might need to adjust the size to ensure it fits well within the page. You can usually do this directly within the HTML code by modifying the width and height attributes.
- Preview and Test
- Before finalizing, preview the page or section where you've embedded the Whimsical content. Ensure that it loads correctly and is fully interactive. Test it on different devices if possible to ensure a consistent experience.
- Share and Collaborate
- Once you're satisfied with the embedding, share the page with your team or stakeholders. They'll now be able to view and interact with the Whimsical content directly within the context of your chosen platform.
Conclusion
Embedding Whimsical docs and diagrams into other platforms can significantly enhance your team's workflow by making important visuals readily accessible. By following these simple steps, you can integrate Whimsical's powerful visualization tools into your daily processes, ensuring that everyone stays aligned and informed.
