# Diagrams

Diagrams are C4 visualisations of your model. They are views onto the underlying model [objects](/core-concepts/model-objects) and [connections](/core-concepts/model-connections). The model data exists independently of any diagram, and the same object can appear in multiple diagrams.

## Diagram types

Each diagram type maps to a C4 level of abstraction:

| Type                | C4 Level | Description                                                        |
| ------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `context-diagram`   | Level 1  | Shows a `system` in the context of its actors and external systems |
| `app-diagram`       | Level 2  | Shows the `app` and `store` containers inside a `system`           |
| `component-diagram` | Level 3  | Shows the `component` objects inside an `app` or `store`           |
