Turn complex ideas into clear visuals
Work as a team to easily create and share data-linked diagrams to bring your ideas to life.

Create and share professional diagrams

Supports industry standards
Visio’s huge shape library supports Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.5, Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0, and Specification and Description Language (SDL).

Easy data linking
Connect your Visio shapes and diagrams to data from common internal and external sources. Insert data graphics or use formatting to reflect changes in the underlying data in your diagram.

Simple, secure sharing
Share your diagrams from secure online repositories, like OneDrive for Business and SharePoint (sold separately).

Flexible editing
Change shapes in existing diagrams without losing your layout and shape connections, making it simple to adjust the look of your diagram without losing the work you’ve already done.

Real-time presence indicators
See where co-authors are working in the canvas with a simple presence indicator for files saved in the cloud.

Simultaneous teamwork
See who’s working on which part of the diagram, get notifications about changes, and choose when to merge those changes into the master file.
