Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 remains the best tool for designing diagrams in companies, based on common industry standards such as IEEE. In addition, Microsoft has made thousands of detailed improvements and introduced new features, mainly to facilitate project work in larger teams. This makes the software explicitly aimed at professional users. However, the familiar ease of use is retained, mainly thanks to numerous templates and the proven Microsoft Office interface. Every buyer still receives 2 GB of free storage space on Microsoft’s own cloud solution, OneDrive.

Generating diagrams in Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 is possible immediately after starting the program: Hundreds of templates, based on a selection of more than 250,000 shapes, ensure this. Since the desktop application also continuously updates itself, new templates are added regularly. Users can then share finished diagrams not only as Microsoft Visio datasets, but also via the Internet: Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 supports web-based diagram views and PDF output for users who do not have Microsoft Visio on their device. Comments added to the diagram by other users are immediately visible to the project creator, who receives feedback.

Specifically for Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 and Microsoft Windows 10 or 11, Microsoft has also improved support for touch input and pens such as the Microsoft Surface Pen. Diagrams can now be refined using natural input methods, using virtual ink or even fingers to color, move shapes and reorder diagrams. This also makes it easier to use the program on a tablet such as the iPad Pro, for which a special app is available in the official Apple Store. To facilitate collaboration with others, the annotation functions have been improved and the integration of Skype for Business into the program interface has been expanded.

New data is imported directly from popular programs such as Excel into Microsoft Visio Standard 2021. This saves time when editing diagrams, because manual input is reduced. To make these diagrams more vivid and to clearly display even large amounts of information, numerous colors, shapes, and images are available to draw attention to the data that is really important to the viewer. The program also supports the integration of drawings created in the popular AutoCAD software. This significantly expands the range of functions, as even complex shapes become possible.

As soon as data previously integrated into the diagram changes, Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 immediately changes the display of the project. To do this, the program continuously scans the integrated data – regardless of its origin and whether it is available locally or on the network – and then immediately implements changes in the current diagram. This ensures that everyone working on the project always has an overview and collaborates on a single version of the diagram. Eliminating manual updates also simplifies the workflow and saves a lot of time in the long run.

Microsoft has developed Microsoft Visio Standard 2021 to be compatible with only one edition of Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft Windows 10S. It is not possible to use the software on an older version of Microsoft Windows. In addition, this offer is a product key for a desktop PC or notebook. There are no additional subscription costs. Microsoft guarantees updates for this software for at least five years.
