You don’t have to worry about losing connections, formatting or settings Visio transfers all that over to the new shape automatically. This makes it easy to rough in a diagram with temporary shapes and then change to better looking, more accurate, or more appropriate shapes when you are ready to finish the diagram. You can change one shape at a time or change several multi-selected shapes at once. How many times have you dropped a process shape and connected it up, realizing later it should have been a decision? Or, have you ever wanted to give your simple decision shape more impact by subbing in one of the cool Visio Workflow shapes?Ĭhanging a shape is now as easy as clicking a button and picking the shape you want. Change ShapeĬhange shape is one of the most highly requested customer features we’ve ever had. However, I would like to talk a bit about some of the top requested customer features that we’ve built as well as walk through some examples of templates that we’ve updated. We’ve got later blog posts planned that will cover theming, effects and the command improvements – so I’m going to hold off on them. Now that you’ve got the summary, I’d like to dive into a few specifics here. Lastly, we added a raft of smooth transitions, which make the program much easier to follow, as well as making it a lot more attractive to use.Īll in all, we are tremendously excited about how great using the next version of Visio is and we’re thrilled that you all will finally get to give it a try. We also dramatically simplified our application look, so that the diagrams you’re making will take center stage, instead of needing to compete with Visio’s UI. Outside the command space, we fixed hundreds of little road bumps (bugs 🙂 that folks told us about when using the product, and we built out several major features that customers have been craving for a while. Try collapsing your ribbon in the new version and see whether using the right click menus makes you more efficient! More commands than ever are now available right at your fingertips, which helps keep you focused on building your diagram instead of searching through complex UI to find the command you want. We streamlined the ribbon and made our contextual UIs much more complete and focused. To achieve this, we invested across the board in polishing the product. We love receiving feedback that starts with “I love this program” (and doesn’t follow that with ‘but’)! We wanted to keep pushing on making the program fantastic to use to ensure that people keep finding the experience of using Visio to be efficient, intuitive and even – perhaps – enjoyable! I’ll call out a few of the templates we’ve updated down at the bottom of this post. Of course, we’ve also made updates across huge swaths of our content to freshen up its look and to take advantage of all the power of our new effects and themes. You can change between the following diagrams in a single click, easily moving from simple to vibrant to informal: Here’s an image of the same diagram in three different themes.

You just need to pick from among over 25 brand new, amazing looking themes and Visio will go and update the formatting on all your shapes to match that style. To make it incredibly easy to use all that power to get the look you want, we dramatically overhauled our theming feature.
It’ll do amazing things, if only you could figure out which button to push! Fortunately, we weren’t just aiming for the fighter pilot demographic. So, all the cool effects and UIs you’re familiar with from PowerPoint are now in Visio too!Īll that power is great, but it’s like having a jet fighter without a pilot. The foundation for great looking diagrams in the new Visio is the integration of the same rendering engine that PowerPoint uses. In fact, I might go as far as to say we wanted to make it hard to create bad looking diagrams in Visio (yes, yes – I am sure you could still do it if you tried!) This version we not only wanted to make it possible to create amazing looking ones, we wanted to make it startlingly simple. It’s always been possible to make good looking diagrams in Visio.

Polished, professional looking diagrams grab attention, inspire more confidence, communicate more effectively and reflect well on the people who made them. Making diagrams that can effectively communicate information is the heart and soul of Visio.
Later posts will cover everything here in much more detail. So, for this post, I’ll aim to give you an overview of all the changes we made and cover a few of the most highly requested new features.
To achieve that, we made a host of improvements to the application – far too many for us to cover here. When we started our planning process for this version of Visio, we made it a central goal that it would be easier, faster and more pleasant to create beautiful, professional looking diagrams.
