Click-to-open details on any step
Make a flowchart with each box or shape clickable so more info can pop up on demand. Keep a high-level overview, then click on a specific step to see its components. Perfect for demos, presentations, and interactive guides for workmates.

-
Click or hover to "bring up" info: click on a flowchart element and a popup opens with more information about the element. If you prefer hover, configure click-to-open or hover-to-open behavior per shape.
-
Attach details to shapes so you can make complex processes less confusing. Stay zoomed out and drill in only where needed.
-
Place and connect freely: put boxes wherever you want, connect them with arrows, and add content to show when clicked. For example, clicking on a box can open a bigger box with a little document inside (text, images, subflows, links).
-
Easily share your interactive document with a single no-sign-in link.
What is an interactive flowchart?
A flowchart shows a process, sequence, or system. An interactive flowchart adds on-demand detail: viewers see the big picture and click to open popups attached to specific shapes. Use it to document flowcharts or process steps without overwhelming the page. Think of containers that can be clicked to show a subsystem, small subflows, or supplemental notes.
How does this make complex charts less confusing? We're used to designing flowcharts that fit on a flat page or open sequentially in a slide deck. This can force you to choose between too little and too much detail. Interactivity lets you keep the overview clear and reveal detail on demand, focusing on what matters now and diving deeper elsewhere when needed.

How does it work?
- Draw the high-level flow. Add boxes, connectors, labels, etc.
- Select any shape and click "Add popup." This opens the popup editor view, where you can draw any additional shapes, text, images, etc., that belong to the popup.
- Choose reveal behavior. You can make each popup appear when its trigger object is hovered over with the mouse or clicked.
- Share the result. Send a single link for anyone to explore your diagram in View Mode. Viewers don't need a Vexlio account or to sign in.
info Want collapse/expand behavior? Use click-to-open popups to collapse and expand nodes so viewers can focus on specific sections without leaving the main diagram.
Popular use cases for interactive flowcharts
- SOPs and process documentation: hover to bring up checklists, safety notes, and links to docs.
- User onboarding and training: click each step to show screenshots, examples, or helpful hints without cluttering the main chart.
- Event navigator: publish a high-level chart of activities with room details, speaker bios, and more available in popups.
- Customer service call flows: interactive scripts with click-to-open prompts and escalation criteria.
