Your coding agent draws the diagram from your code and publishes it to Display, as HTML or as Mermaid in Markdown. Your team comments on it at one URL without a Claude account. Display is not a drawing board.

Answer
Use Display when a coding agent makes the diagram from your code. Cursor, Codex or Claude Code reads the repo and publishes the diagram to one URL, as HTML or as Mermaid in Markdown. Reviewers sign in to Display with a one-time password and need no Claude account. Keep Claude Whiteboards when your team wants to brainstorm on one board at the same time. You talk, type or sketch, and Claude arranges the board. Display is not a drawing board and has no whiteboard today. You can brainstorm in Claude Whiteboards and keep the diagram that your team reviews in Display.
Display holds the diagram that your agent makes, so your team can review it. Claude Whiteboards is a live board for a brainstorm.

A board leaves Claude as a PNG. A Mermaid diagram sits in the repo. An HTML diagram is on one laptop. Display holds each diagram at one URL, with one way to share.
“Open” means three things you can check today.
Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other agent publishes the diagram through the CLI, MCP or the API.
A diagram is an HTML file, or a Mermaid block in a Markdown file. You can download the source at any time.
Reviewers sign in to Display with a one-time password. Viewers and Commenters are unlimited on every plan.
Fix any line right where you read it.
A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.
Shows this step in the loop
A diagram stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one diagram, a folder or a whole Space.
Every diagram stays private until you share it with people and groups.
On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Reviewers need no seat.
Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.
On Team and Business, see who opened which diagram, and when, before you follow up.
Choose by how the diagram is made and who has to review it.
“We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.”
Start with one diagram – private by default

The Free plan costs $0 and includes 3 gated documents and 50 MB of storage, without version history. Solo costs $12 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly, and adds version history. Team costs $79 a month, or $59 billed yearly, for up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and Commenters are unlimited on every plan.
A new diagram is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. People sign in with a one-time password before a private or company diagram opens. Solo and higher plans add Google and Microsoft sign-in. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta.
No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model.
No. Display has no drawing board today, and one person edits a diagram at a time. For a live board that many people change together, use Claude Whiteboards. A Display whiteboard is planned, and it has no date. Today, Display holds the diagrams that your agent makes, as HTML or as Mermaid in Markdown.
Yes. Invite them by email to the diagram or its folder with the Commenter role or a higher role. They sign in with a one-time password, Google or Microsoft, and they do not join your organization. A person with the Viewer role can read but cannot comment.
A reviewer selects text on the page, for example a heading or a caption beside the diagram, and adds a comment. Comments attach to text, not to shapes. Your agent reads the diagram and its comments, and publishes the next version at the same URL. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions.
Not as a board. Claude exports a board as a PNG image. Give the image to your agent, ask it to draw the diagram again as HTML or Mermaid, and publish the result to Display.
Two. A Markdown file can hold Mermaid blocks, for example flowcharts, sequence diagrams and ER diagrams, and each block shows as a diagram. An HTML file can hold an SVG or a D3 diagram, and it stays as your agent made it.
Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same diagram.
No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a diagram without a seat. You can download the source file of any diagram at any time.
Connect Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or ChatGPT through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API, and publish your first diagram.
