It’s actually designed for real-time collaboration. Since the web app is part of Microsoft 365, if a few people maybe need to work together on a diagram or workflow, have we built in collaboration capabilities? So as you can see the diagrams and the visuals you build can be a lot more efficient at communicating what you need rather than just relying on text alone. I’ve got one started here, and if I want to add a step, I can simply drag and drop shapes into my canvas, label them with a name and create the relationship based on where it fits in the process. So let’s dive into a proper example, a basic flow chart. There are lots of templates to get you started. And now with the new Visio web app, part of Microsoft 365, you can use it for free in your organization. It’s been around a long time and has a huge cross-industry and cross-discipline appeal because you can literally visualize almost anything with diagrams. So at its core, Visio is about visualizing our ideas and connecting things together on a canvas. But before we look at the latest round of updates, can we take a step back and explain what Visio is and what it solves for? So it’s really been a while since we’ve covered Visio on Microsoft Mechanics, you know, it’s one of the most popular diagramming tools around. So, Mukul, thanks for joining us again on the show. And also if you’re a Visio expert, we’re going to share updates to the desktop app, including new integrations that export diagrams to PowerPoint, a document in Microsoft Word, or as a process in Power Automate. And if you’re new to Visio we’ll show you how easy it is for anyone to get started, including coauthoring across Visio for the web and Microsoft Teams. Coming up, I’m joined by Mukul Kumar to take a look at the latest updates to Microsoft Visio, including the new web app that anyone using Microsoft 365 in their organization can now use for free.
