Collaborate with modes

Camunda 8 only

Collaboration between business and IT professionals can be challenging, which is why we introduced three modes in BPMN diagrams that help users with different technical backgrounds to collaborate effectively: design, implement, and play.

The Design mode view is tailored to business users, and the Implement and Play mode views are tailored to developers.

note

Play mode is an alpha feature that is being progressively rolled out. Review the Play documentation for details.

Business users can now focus on modeling, sharing, and collaborating, while developers can work on implementation and debugging with ease.

When accessing a BPMN diagram for the first time, the Design mode is the first selected option. To switch between modes, you can select one of the tabs on the left side of the screen, above the diagram; any further selection is remembered and kept for the next sessions.

When a process template is selected, the default mode is Implement.
