Your tutorials are so great! I'm sure so many people (including myself) appreciate the hard work you put into these!

[@Juan-re6rt]

Thanks a lot Kevin!! Any good website to buy Visio 2021 product key for cheap?

[@BenjamainTelekeni]

Many sellers and tools can activate Visio. I tried various sources, including eBay, but they also stopped working after a few months. I had to reinstall my OS due to malware so I stopped using free options. After thorough research I found a great company with fair prices and haven't had any issues since.

[@Juan-re6rt]

@@BenjamainTelekeni I prefer to pay one time for a key and that's it. Could you share the name of the company that you found?

[@BenjamainTelekeni]

True.. BNH-Software I hope it will help you

[@Juan-re6rt]

@@BenjamainTelekeni Thanks! Bought the key and it working perfectly!

Wow, I was literally looking at Visio today and wondered how to use it. This has made my day! Thanks😀

[@scrapdaworld]

Oh my goodness! I just started a new job and had no idea this program existed. I’ve been fumbling through tutorials for the last couple days until someone sent me your link. So happy I watched it! You’re very thorough, clear and your expertise is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to teach us all of this. New follower and definitely gave it a huge thumbs up!

Hi Kevin. Thanks to your awesome tutorial, I'm now proficient in MS Visio Pro 2021 at my job (I'm now working from home permanently) and ended up getting an immense raise, and I owe it all to you! YOU ROCK! (NOTE: I purchased the perpetual license version (or standalone version) of MS Visio Pro 2021 (full retail version), but at a cheaper price).

Thats awesome, can I ask what your job is? And how learning this got you a raise? New role?

This is a create tutorial! I was always interested in using Visio but never took the time to learn how to use it. Your video brought me up to speed quickly.

[@cee2615]

Hi Kevin, thank you for the tutorial. See how your diagram went across 2 pages, how do you get that 2nd page to be a proper 2nd page with the swim lane headings, etc ... like you can in Word where you select repeat headings. Thank you

Hi Kevin. Thank you for the awesome tutorial. It helped me gain enough insights to create flowcharts for my work. I liked the way you explain - straight to the point and with clarity. Thanks again!!

[@iritchapnick7828]

Thank you for Visio tutorial. I could use a refresher on Excel. I use the program, but never had the proper training to know everything that Excel can do.

[@Dark15g]

This helps me in flow charts and even floor plans and was helpful for my parents

[@SinskariBoi3366three]

I've never used ER Win in my past experiences but I'm strongly familiar with Oracle DataModeler and MySQL workbench Data modeler. Based on my current experience with Visio, I found its very helpful for Database Developer Community. If I had to build and design ERD from scratch then It would have taken me more than a month. For minor changed its good tool.

[@shreniksuman8547]

Perfect timing! I bought Microsoft office and Visio (cus we were gonna learn Visio at school) for my new laptop.Btw im a subscriber from 2018 :)

Hi Kevin - Thank you for this thorough and concise tutorial. I am in a new role where I need to create workflows. I am also in an informatics program and need to understand how to create these types of flowcharts and diagrams from data. Do you have a tutorial on that aspect of Excel/Visio?

[@GulfCoastGrit]

Did you ever find what you were looking for? Just started a new role as well and find myself in the deep end of the pool! Spent the last ten years in the field and now I’m having to dust all the cobwebs off what I remember before then! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@JaredVonBaren]

@@GulfCoastGrit This is also me! Haven’t touched this program since 2012 & now I’ve done this tutorial, & a few others, but I feel like I need some additional work.

[@davidcarrico2423]

Could you do a video on the different license levels of visio (M365 included, Plan 1, Plan 2) and best practices in its use in a multiple license level environment. For instance, I have plan 2 and actually find it difficult to create a diagram that someone with the M365 license can edit. I would love a way to put my Visio desktop into a compatibility mode or 'save as' so that it was M365 license compatible for editing (even if losing some features for that particular diagram). Are their settings or best practices we should be following in a multi-license level environment?

I could edit my matlab graphs saved in png format in visio 2017 but now I am unable to edit the graphs saved in tif or jpeg using visio 2019 pro. Is there a format limitation for editing in visio??
