Microsoft Visio 2021 Professional

Visio 2021 Professional: diagrams, network and software plans on Windows

Microsoft Visio 2021 Professional is a standalone Windows application for drawing flowcharts, organisation charts, network diagrams, floor plans and technical diagrams. Visio is not part of the Office suites but is installed separately. Visio 2021 Professional is mainly suitable for workstations where existing drawings and templates are to continue to be edited at this version level.

Templates and stencils for IT and software

In Visio, diagrams are created from templates and shapes that are dragged onto the drawing page and connected to each other. Visio 2021 Professional includes numerous new Azure stencils as well as shapes for Amazon Web Services. These can be used to document cloud infrastructures, for example the connection of a web application to a database and storage. The stencils for UML and entity relationship diagrams have been revised visually and functionally; they are used for modelling software and database structures. With the new template for wireframes, the structure of a mobile app is sketched out before development begins.

Further templates and operation

For room planning, Visio 2021 includes templates and stencils that can be used to arrange workstations according to distancing rules. The Crime Scenes template has been extended with the Evidence, Inside and Outside stencils. The interface features a modernised start screen and revised ribbon tabs. In the “Colours” dialog box, colours can be entered directly as a hexadecimal value, which makes it easier to apply corporate colours. Microsoft has also improved performance and stability.
