What is Microsoft Visio?
Microsoft Visio is a diagramming tool used to visually communicate complex information in the form of graphics like flowcharts, org charts, floor charts and timelines. There are dozens of ready-to-use templates and thousands of customizable shapes you can use to create powerful and easy-to-understand visuals.
With Visio, you can visualize data-connected business processes and then collaborate with your team through the Office apps. For example, you can create and edit Visio diagrams with Microsoft Teams, or convert Excel process map data into Visio diagrams from within Excel.
Visio also supports a variety of accessibility features, like Narrator, Accessibility Checker and high-contrast support, to help ensure your diagrams are available for everyone.
