Creates a new document from a Lucid Standard Import file (.zip archive) uploaded as multipart/form-data. Requires file, type, and product. Optionally, a title and parent folder can be provided. If no title is provided, the new document's title will be the imported filename.

This endpoint can only create a new Lucidchart or Lucidspark document. It cannot modify an existing document's contents.

Document Creation Location

When there is no parent field on the request, the new document will be created in a default location depending on the authorizing token's scopes.

• If the token authorizing the request uses one of the document.app scopes, then the document will be created in an app-specific folder.
• If one of the document.content scopes is used, the document will be created in the user's 'My Documents folder'.
• If both types of scopes are authorized on the token, the document.content behavior will take priority and the document will be created in the user's 'My Documents' folder.
