What is the C4 model?

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

How do I create my first project?

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.

How do I navigate between architecture levels?

Double-click any element to drill down. Use breadcrumbs to go back up, or the level tabs to jump directly to any level.
