Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Microsoft Visio to create flowcharts, network diagrams, org charts, Venn diagrams, block diagrams, and business matrices. It works within Microsoft 365, letting you co-author diagrams in real time with colleagues. You can generate diagrams automatically from Excel data using the Data Visualizer add-in, collaborate inside Microsoft Teams by adding diagrams as tabs, and export diagrams as images to embed in other Microsoft 365 files.
