##  Difference Between Diagrams and Reports
Feature | Diagrams | Reports
---|---|---
Purpose | Visual storytelling. Use to show topology, relations, data flows, interfaces, or target-state sketches for workshops and stakeholder alignment. | Tabular analysis. Use for counts, aggregations, filters, saved views for audits and decision-making.
Best For | When structure, flow, and visual context matter more than counts or lists. | When you need repeatable slices of data, such as drill-downs or KPIs, for tracking and reporting.
Output Format | Interactive canvas with shapes, connectors, and layout. | Tables and charts.

### When to Use Both
  * Use both diagrams and reports together when you need to understand a process and analyze data.
  * Create a diagram to show the narrative. Use a report to present the numbers.
  * Link diagrams and reports with collections or bookmarks so you can move easily between visuals and data.
