What’s new in Visio 2016
Visio has
updated the diagram templates so they’re better looking
and easier to use. New styles, themes and other handy
tools will help you cut the time you spend drawing.
You’ll also find more ways to work together on Visio
2016 diagrams, along with new commenting features, that
enable real-time co-authoring on diagrams.
Updated
diagram templates
New shapes and content
Several
diagram templates have been updated and improved,
including Timeline, Basic Network, Detailed Network, and
Basic Shapes. Many have new shapes and designs, and
you’ll find new and updated Containers and Callouts.
Organization chart
The organization chart
template has new shapes and styles designed specifically
for org charts. Plus, it’s much easier to add pictures
to all the employee shapes at once.
SharePoint
workflow
A new SharePoint workflow template now
supports stages, steps, loops, and custom actions.
BPMN 2.0 support
The Business Process Modeling
Notation (BPMN) template supports BPMN version 2.0,
following the Analytic conformance class.
UML and
Database templates
The UML template and the Database
template are easier to use and more flexible. They now
use the same drag-and-drop functionality as most other
templates, and you don’t have to set up solution
configurations beforehand.
Styles, themes and tools
to cut drawing time
Format shapes with Office Art
shape effects
Visio now offers many of the formatting
options used in other Office applications to your
diagrams. Apply gradients, shadows, 3-D effects,
rotations and more to your shapes.
Add a Quick
Style to a shape
Quick Styles gives you control over
the way an individual shape looks, so you can make it
stand out. Select a shape, and on the Home tab, use the
Quick Styles gallery in the Shape Styles group. Each
style has a combination of colors, shadows, reflections,
and other effects.
Add variations to themes
In
addition to new themes that add color, fonts, and
effects to your diagram, Visio 2016 has Variants for
each theme. Choose a variant to apply it to the entire
page.
Duplicate an entire page
It’s now much
simpler to make a copy of a page. Right-click the page
tab and click Duplicate.
Replace a shape that’s
already in the diagram
Replacing shapes is also
easier, with a new Change Shape gallery on the Home tab.
The layout doesn’t change, and all the information the
shape contains is still there.
New collaboration and
coauthoring features
Coauthor diagrams as a team
Several people can work on a single diagram at the same
time by uploading it to SharePoint or SkyDrive. Everyone
sees what shapes are being edited in real time. Every
time you save the document, your changes are saved back
to the server and everyone else’s saved changes show up
in your diagram.
Comment on diagrams in threaded
conversations
A new commenting pane makes it easier
to add, read, reply and keep track of reviewers’
comments. Replies are easy to make and follow in comment
threads. Read or join the comments also by clicking the
comment balloons on the diagram.
Review diagrams
on the web
Reviewers can view and comment on
diagrams, even if they don’t have Visio installed. Use a
web browser to review diagrams that have been saved to
Office 365 or SharePoint.
More improvements
Use
Visio 2016 on portable devices with improved touch
support
Read, comment on, and even create diagrams on
touch-enabled tablets without a keyboard and mouse.
Use a single file format for desktop and web
Visio saves diagrams in a new file format (.vsdx) that
is the default on the desktop and for viewing in a
browser on SharePoint. You no longer have to save in a
different format for different uses. Visio also reads
and writes in .vssx, .vstx, .vsdm, .vssm, and .vstm
formats.
