Using Process Map Builder

Start with a process, approval, decision or organization layout. Add nodes and connectors, assign responsibilities and keep an editable project before exporting the diagram.

The mapper does not execute workflows or connect to a database. It does not claim BPMN XML compliance or SVG-to-editor import. PDF output uses browser printing rather than a generated PDF file.

Choose an editable process map or a workflow handoff

Project JSON: preserve supported nodes, connectors and layout for editing.

SVG or PNG: share the visual map for review.

Mermaid: export supported flowchart meaning; exact positions, colors and swimlane layout are not preserved.

Markdown: document the process separately from its visual diagram.

Print/PDF: open the browser print workflow; this is not a directly generated PDF download.

Practice: an approval handoff

Map Request received to a Review task and an Approved? decision.

Label the outgoing branches clearly and assign the responsible roles or swimlanes.

Save JSON, then choose an image for a visual review or Mermaid/Markdown for a text handoff. Explain any layout information that the text format omits.

This is an authored planning exercise, not an executed approval system.

Process mapping questions

Will this run my approval workflow?

No. The map documents steps, decisions and responsibilities; it does not execute tasks, send approvals or connect to a database.

Can I use the diagram as BPMN XML or reimport an exported SVG?

BPMN XML compliance and SVG-to-editor import are not supported here. Keep the project JSON for continuing edits; a visual export or Mermaid handoff serves a different purpose.
