Every Dock button has two gestures:<ul><li>Tap → primary action.</li><li>Hold (1 second) → secondary action. A progress bar fills up to confirm.</li></ul>Examples:<ul><li>Tap <code>−</code> to scale in. Hold <code>−</code> to set minimum.</li><li>Tap <code>+</code> to add a group. Hold <code>+</code> to unwrap it.</li><li>Tap <code>✕</code> does nothing (safety). Hold <code>✕</code> to remove.</li></ul>When in doubt, hover for the primary action tooltip. Hold briefly to see the secondary one.

Every button has two gestures: tap for the primary action, hold for the secondary.

Enfors 101

Get on the canvas and learn how to talk to it.

1. First Steps

No signup required; open the app and start designing immediately.

1.1 Anonymous Session

The bottom bar adapts its buttons to whatever you've selected.

1.2 The Dock

The building blocks of your network architecture.

2. Components

A visual representation of a network device — firewall, switch, router, and more.

2.1 What Is a Component?

Pick a device from the catalog and Enfors places it in the right structure.

2.2 Adding Your First Component

Add or remove component instances within a group for redundancy.

2.3 Scaling In and Out

Lock the current component count as a minimum or maximum for design enforcement.

2.4 Constraining Min/Max

Components are the atoms, but groups are where the real architecture happens.

2.5 The Bridge

The nesting system that gives your design its shape.

3. Groups: Layers and Containers

Two alternating group types that give your design its shape, with naming and color labeling built in.

3.1 Layers and Containers

Three top-level anchors — Core, Transport, and Edge — that define the hierarchy of your architecture.

3.2 Root Layers

Add nesting depth or dissolve it with a single gesture.

3.3 Wrapping and Unwrapping

Reposition groups among siblings, or jump to the extremes with a hold.

3.4 Moving

Deliberate deletion only — hold to confirm, tap does nothing.

3.5 Removing

Define how groups relate to each other on the network.

4. Connecting Groups

Mark a group as a cluster to indicate internal high-availability or stacking.

4.1 Clusters

Select two groups and connect them as single-home, dual-home, or full-mesh.

4.2 Three Topologies

5. Synchronized Cloning

Create a synchronized copy of a group that stays linked to the original.

5.1 Cloning

Any operation on one clone automatically propagates to all its siblings.

5.2 The Game Changer

Break the sync link when one clone needs to differ from the rest.

5.3 Detaching

Reusable templates with built-in design rules.

6. Blueprints

Create, sign in, update, or delete your account — all via magic link.

7. Account

Save, load, delete, and export your network architectures.

8. Flow Management
