The intuitive desktop interface, which is also familiar from the MS Office programmes and has been updated in the new version, makes it particularly easy to get started with Visio 2021: even new users quickly find their way around and can immediately use the tools and features to convert data and ideas for their projects into informative diagrams and presentations. Visio 2021 Professional can also be used on touch-enabled devices - with a digital pen as well as with a finger.

MS Visio 2021 Professional also contains new shapes - to create detailed descriptions of workflows and organisational charts, but can also be used to represent a wide range of technical systems and their processes - among other things, UML structure diagrams are also available to model classes and interfaces, as well as DWG files that are easily imported from AutoCAD. When using Microsoft Azure Active Directory or Exchange Server, data can also be imported from Excel directly into the shapes.

These are the new features in Visio 2021 Professional Edition

The desktop view has been modernised, among other things with newly updated tabs in the menu ribbon. Of course, Visio 2021 Professional also includes updates to shapes, templates and styles, including improved support for team collaboration: multiple people can work on a single diagram at the same time, which can also be linked to data. Visio Professional 2021 also offers extensive options for managing information rights, e.g. to prevent information leaks. Furthermore, Visio 2021 Professional offers:

- New templates to help users create Azure diagrams, including for network topologies, virtual computer configuration, and many other operations.

- With the new infrastructure shapes for Amazon Web Services (AWS), corresponding templates can now also be used for diagrams.

- More rich media content, including a curated library of archive images, icons and more, can be used for Visio representations.

- New shapes for planning workplaces that take into account current guidelines for spatial spacing. New shapes for crime scene visualisation are also included, as well as wireframe diagrams for mobile apps.

Use the large selection of diagrams in MS Visio 2021 or create your own shapes

Visio 2021 Professional offers an extensive collection of Visio diagrams with which all conceivable areas can be represented. To make it easy to find the right diagram, these are clearly arranged according to so-called templates, which then contain the individual shapes. These shapes can be supplemented with text by the user - either by automatic insertion when writing, or by linking to an Excel spreadsheet or an Exchange database: when using MS SharePoint or OneDrive Services, these can also be imported via this. Many of the integrated shapes are industry standard compliant, i.e. they contain binding information for further use.

Visio 2021 Professional contains over 600 shapes, approx. 400 of which are "intelligent" shapes that automatically adjust the associated meta data when they are updated. You can also create your own shapes in Visio 2021 Professional and save them as a master shape so that they are available again the next time you use them.

Visio 2021 Professional in particular offers users a whole range of additional diagrams that are only available in this edition:

- UML diagrams: The UML tools integrated in Visio 2021 Professional can also be used to create communication, component and deployment diagrams that visualise relationships and components such as those of ports and interfaces. The graphical modelling language UML - Unified Modelling Language - was developed specifically for the visualisation and documentation of software components, for example, as well as specifications and designs: UML class diagrams show static views including the relationships between objects of a system, UML component diagrams, on the other hand, are used to illustrate relationships of related components as well as the structure of a code. Furthermore, UML deployment diagrams are included for the representation of the configuration of hardware and software elements, as well as UML sequence diagrams for the visualisation of interactions between actors or objects.

- Database Notation Diagrams: Also called Entity Relationship Model (ER model or ERM), these can be used to create a graphical model of a database.

Further diagram types in MS Visio 2021 Professional

Visio 2021 Professional again offers many different types of diagrams or features as well as support for additional file types. In addition, the practical start diagrams enable a quicker introduction to the Visio software in the areas of brainstorming, organisational charts and SDL (Specification and Description Language), which are used particularly frequently in the visualisation of flow charts, workflows and timelines, including practical tips for beginners in particular when creating them.

The shapes contained in Visio 2021 Professional can also be adapted creatively with various tools: Gradients and transparencies, shadow, glow, mirror and 3D effects and many other options can be selected.

Visio 2021 also offers optimised support for AutoCAD files, so that DWG or DXF files can also be imported and scaled, including the delay-free shape overlay. AutoCAD objects such as building plans and floor plans can be converted into a Visio Shape and then supplemented with further Visio Shapes.

Overview of the diagram types in Visio 2021 Professional Edition

In Visio 2021 Professional, for example, the following frequently used diagram types or shapes are available in many variants:

- Flowcharts visualise the individual phases of business processes or technical procedures, including Swimlane diagrams, cross-functional flowcharts (IDEF0 diagrams and BPMN diagrams) and business process diagrams - these are used in business informatics or process management, among other fields, to explain complex operational processes. Pivot diagrams, timeline diagrams and 3D bar charts are also used to illustrate certain aspects.

- Process flow diagrams are used in the technical field to visualise chemical and industrial processes and plants, whereas

- IT diagrams are used, for example, for active directories and databases.

- Organisational charts, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams and state diagrams clarify structures within organisations as well as those involved in interactions, or also the product life cycle of objects.

- Use case diagrams and communication diagrams, on the other hand, visualise interactions and different phases of business projects.

- Floor plans and building plans help with space planning in a company to visualise the use of rooms, and IEEE-compliant technical representations are also available for building services.

- Wireframe diagrams are used in app development, for example, to clarify the user interface and the individual functions and contents.
