Architecture Views
Create focused, publishable visual narratives over the architecture model
Architecture Views are curated perspectives over the selected project version. Open Documentation → Views.
One View, One Question
Create separate Views for different audiences and decisions rather than one map that explains everything. Examples include a system context, container boundary, payment flow, security review, migration slice, or operational topology.
A View references canonical Systems and Relationships. Its selection, layout, and visual treatment belong to the View; editing a model resource affects every surface that uses that resource.
Documentation Experience
Each View can assemble a reader experience from:
- Generated and manually edited narrative
- Selected project evidence and analysis sections
- Workflow and Deployment selections
- Images
- Referenced Architecture Documents
- Publication settings and history
