Collaborate with modes
Collaboration between business and IT professionals can be challenging, which is why we introduced three modes in BPMN diagrams that help users with different technical backgrounds to collaborate effectively: design, implement, and play.
The Design mode view is tailored to business users, and the Implement and Play mode views are tailored to developers.
Play mode is an alpha feature that is being progressively rolled out. Review the Play documentation for details.
Business users can now focus on modeling, sharing, and collaborating, while developers can work on implementation and debugging with ease.
When accessing a BPMN diagram for the first time, the Design mode is the first selected option. To switch between modes, you can select one of the tabs on the left side of the screen, above the diagram; any further selection is remembered and kept for the next sessions.
When a process template is selected, the default mode is Implement.
Modes and roles
- Project Admin and Editors can access all modes.
- Commenters can access all modes, but with read-only permission. This role can be assigned to stakeholders who need to see the implementation properties without the ability to modify them.
- Viewers can access only the Design mode with read-only permission,
