orienting the diagram

[lcarson-2002]

The current browser based technique for documenting the ATT&CK Flows has basically no function for orienting or re-balancing the "diagram". Have you considered using Modelio instead of browser based?
https://www.modelio.org/. Long term that may be easier to work with

Thank you for the feedback. Can you explain "orienting or re-balancing" a bit more?

We are in the process of updating the Attack Flow Builder right now, with some big improvements to be published later this year. The goal with the browser-based approach is to make it frictionless to get started with Attack Flow, and the updates this year will build on that further. It is unlikely that we would switch to a different tech stack at this point.

On the other hand, an open standard, we encourage different approaches and implementations. If you work out how to use Modelio to produce valid Attack Flow, we can include that in our documentation or link to your documentation.

When you build a complex tree it gets very difficult in the web browser to organise the nodes/leaves such that you can see all of the branches and add new ones that make logical sense; tools that are focused around mind mapping, diagramming, etc. all have a function to reorganise or re-layout the tree in order to more easily see the leaves and branches. Does that make sense?

That makes sense. We have shied away from force-directed layouts in the Attack Flow builder due to the tendency to get unintelligible results, e.g. see this STIX2 visualization:

I can appreciate that this would be very beneficial if it is done well. We have a lot of work planned for the builder and if we have time we will experiment with automated layout.
