First, let's focus on a quick win: getting a diagram with minimal technical effort. We would just need to fill in our thoughts.
The smartdiagram package makes building diagrams of various types very easy. We will start with creating a flowchart about a TeX workflow. Then we will explore further diagram types.
Once you have loaded the smartdiagram package, all you need is a simple command. Follow these steps:
