Small starter models
Download a JSON file and choose Menu → Open local model…. The same files can be opened in the Revelation for Confluence editor and saved to a diagram attachment. Save current work before replacing the editing session.
| Example | What to try |
|---|---|
| Student service — C4 | Rename an element, reconnect an arrow and save/reopen. |
| Student service — two views | Switch between Overview and Application services; observe automatic placement without saved geometry. |
| Application check — BPMN Lite | Change Pool/Lane and inspect the process bands. |
| Student service — ArchiMate | Read Realization and Serving directions. |
| View a student record — Sequence | Follow calls and returns in stored order. |
| Student enrolment — ER | Read one-to-zero-or-many at both relationships. |
| Application completeness — Flowchart | Follow the labelled Yes/No paths and return loop. |
Browse larger reference models
In Revelation, choose Menu → Browse reference models…. Select a model and open it, then save your own working copy before changing it. The library includes architecture, process and domain examples; availability follows the deployed app's reference-model catalogue.
The Revelation for Confluence editor does not include this browser. Open a reference model in Revelation and download JSON, then open the file in a new Confluence diagram if you want to use it there.
University examples
The university ArchiMate model demonstrates focused perspectives over a much larger architecture. The student-journey BPMN model illustrates subprocesses, assessment and exception routes. These are modelling examples, not policy or regulatory advice for a particular institution. Check their assumptions before adapting them.
Keep an original
Retain the downloaded source and save your changes under a meaningful title. A screenshot is useful for discussion, but the JSON is what lets you continue editing.
