Export Step function visual workflows as svg/png


We have no issue using AWS step functions and we can even say that our return of experience is leading to more and more step machines.

Still, we would like to emphasize some of our state machines for internal documentation and would love to find a better way to export step function visual workflows than the typical screenshot. In particular for large state machines.

They are computed as and displayed as svg so we tried svg export Chrome extensions like:

They both generated black hidden unusable svg files.

Is anyone already trying that?

Solution

  • The Step Functions console now supports exporting the graph to PNG or SVG. At the top of the state machine viewer, click Export > Export to SVG or Export to PNG.
