# Diagrams

Diagrams is a tool in the Editor that allows you to create **interactive diagrams**, either from scratch or with the help of templates.

## Running

The diagram will be updated according to how you configured your counters, locations, and Diagram injects.

With a new inject in the Master Events List (MEL), you can update that plane so e.g. it shows where it crashed:

### Timeline

The timeline in the Facilitator Dashboard updates itself when counters are added or moved.
