Microsoft Visio is the latest platform to be enhanced with the ability to allow users to add custom shapes to their Visio platform after the Redmond-based tech giant gifted Windows’ Snipping Tool this ability as well, although in a different form.
Either way, the feature is currently rolling out to Visio users, and they can download custom shapes from third-party apps or create them using the Visio desktop app, and then add them to the preferred Vision document.
Microsoft says the new feature is useful for those organizations that want to personalize and brand their documents, as these custom shapes can be created and tailored to suit every need and scenario. The feature can also be used to create realistic and easy-to-understand plans by allowing the employment of specific shapes.
It’s worth mentioning that only users with a Visio Plan 2 license will be able to use this feature, so make sure you have one before proceeding.
- Open your Microsoft Visio web platform, go to the Shapes pane, and click on the Plus (+) button.
- Select Custom Shapes.
- Add a custom shape from your preferred location.
Users can also share the custom shapes with other users within their organization, which makes this feature even more useful, as it emphasizes collaboration. Sharing these shapes is the same as sharing the rest of the existing shapes.
