Update your SmartArt skill
Replace the existing installation, then check it in your assistant.
- 01
Replace your existing copy
Back up custom changes first, then replace the complete bundle. Keep one installed copy enabled.
Download SmartArt skill (.zip)In Claude → Customize → Skills, find your existing native-smartart skill. Use Replace to upload the new ZIP, save and confirm it is enabled. For a shared skill, ask its owner to publish the update.
The directory connector and uploaded skill are separate. If upload is unavailable, check Code execution and file creation in Claude's capabilities, or ask your workspace administrator. Official skill guide.
New templates are discovered from the server. Your installed skill remains a separate copy; updating the website does not replace it.

Run a free update check
Your assistant checks the installed version when accessible, the live tools, layout recommendations and one sample image. The request creates no diagram and spends no generation credits.
View the request
Use the installed Native SmartArt skill for a free connection and update check. Report its installed version from release.json if you can inspect that file; otherwise say unverified. Confirm NativeDiagram's four tools are available. Query a five-step process using these exact labels: Requirements and scope definition; Solution architecture review; Supply chain readiness review; Implementation and integration; Validation and release planning. Use a Word width of 15.2 cm and a minimum font size of 12 pt. Explain whether the recommended layout meets those estimated limits, then show one free sample preview. Keep all five labels unchanged. Do not call create_smartart, create a diagram, or spend credits. Do not change the installed skill or connection during this check; report any update or sign-in needed.
Look for version 0.4.0 or an explicit “unverified”, the four available tools, and an explanation of the estimated fit. A sample does not verify your final Office document.
