The General Properties section is used to define the overall look and feel of a diagram. This section appears when you edit a diagram view and select a node or edge.
In Collibra 2025.06, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Diagrams in the latest UI! You can learn more about this new diagram UI in Diagrams.
