Document Toolbar

The Document Toolbar features the filename for the document that you are working on, along with a series of buttons to the left and right for working with the current document.

Hide/Show Sidebar

Tap to hide or show the sidebar along the left side of the screen.

Documents

Tap to close the current document and return to its folder in the Document Browser.

Document Title

The toolbar displays the name of the current document here. Tap to edit and change the file name.

On narrow devices the document title is hidden to leave room for more functional button controls. You can always change the title of your document by tapping its preview icon text in the document browser.

Only files stored in your On My [device] folder or a connected OmniPresence folder can be renamed within OmniGraffle. To rename other files (such as those stored in iCloud Drive), tap the filename in the document browser instead.

Sync with OmniPresence

This icon appears to the left of the document filename if the file is synced via OmniPresence. The icon indicates whether a sync is in-progress; tapping the OmniPresence icon initiates a sync.

This icon doesn't appear in the toolbar in OmniGraffle 3.19 on iPadOS 16.

• Sync Ready

  In its most basic state, OmniPresence is online and ready to sync files.

• Sync In-Progress

  Whenever OmniPresence notices a change to the files in the sync folder, the icon appears to be lifting a barbell.

• Sync Offline

  If you lose your Internet connection (which is required for syncing), the icon turns light green to denote that you are offline.

• Sync Error

  If you see a light green sync icon with an exclamation mark, it means that OmniPresence failed to connect to the sync server. This could be the result of an invalid Account Name or Password, or something as simple as an intermittent Internet connection that drops while OmniPresence is trying to connect to the sync server.

  If the icon remains in this state, here are some things you could try:

  • Double-check your Account Name and Password.
  • Check your network connection in Settings.app.

  If that doesn’t help, contact our Support Humans for assistance.

Undo/Redo

Tap to undo the previous change to your document. Touch and hold to reveal a pop-up menu with the option to Redo.

Inspectors

Tap to open or close the inspector bar along the right side of the screen.

More

If you see three dots in the toolbar, this implies there are more options/buttons available than there is space for in the toolbar. Tap to open the More menu, which presents the other available options.

Customizing the Toolbar

On an iPad with iPadOS 16 or later and OmniGraffle 3.19 or later, you can customize the document toolbar to include a variety of additional controls not present in the default toolbar arrangement.

To customize the contents of the document toolbar, open the More menu and choose Customize Toolbar.

The custom toolbar editor appears, where you can drag controls up to where you'd like them in the toolbar; you can also remove or rearrange existing controls by dragging them to different spots in the toolbar.

Tap Reset in the editor header to restore the toolbar to its default set of controls.

If there isn't enough room in the toolbar for all of the controls you add, any that don't fit are added as menu items in the More menu instead.

Using the Stencils and Images Menu

Tap in a document’s toolbar to open the Stencils and Images menu.

Photo Library

Tapping the camera icon in the menu provides you with the following options:

• Take Photo: Choose this option to use the camera on your device to take and place on the canvas a picture.
• Choose Existing: Choose this option to select and add to the canvas a photo in your photo library.
• Use Latest: Choose this option to place on the canvas the last picture you have taken using the camera on your device.

The first time you tap , you need to authorize OmniGraffle to access your photo library.
