Continuum

Continuum connects a diagram to the systems it describes, so the drawing can be regenerated and the detail on it comes from the source.

Each flavour has its own page in the Continuum section of Settings, on an organisation or a team: Continuum Cloud, Continuum Local and Continuum Link.

To draw a system on a blueprint, start a new blueprint and choose Document a real system using Continuum, or choose + Add tab and then Continuum (live data) in a blueprint you are editing. Both open the same steps: where the system runs, a network at one of your sites (Continuum Local) or a cloud account (Continuum Cloud), then what to scan or draw, then a name. A Continuum Local drawing can also start from a finished network sweep, as Drawing your network describes.

In a stratum's + Add tab menu, the rows that bind a stratum to Cloud or Link are headed "Continuum Link", which is a leftover from when the two shared a name. The row labelled Continuum is the Cloud one.
