Asynchronous Model Validation
Many model validation rules are defined and checked asynchronously whenever you save or open your model files.

Publish HTML Docs
Easy to share models with other analysts, architects, and developers by just publishing HTML Docs.

PDF Export for Clean Printing
Diagrams can be exported to PDF for clean printing with printing options like page layout and sizes.

Markdown Support
