Microsoft Visio 2013 provides new collaboration features, updated shapes and templates, and improved connectivity to business data. It allows users to create professional diagrams faster and collaborate more easily on projects. Key upgrades include co-authoring capabilities, presence awareness through integration with Microsoft Lync, and the ability to link diagrams to external data sources. Visio 2013 is available either as a one-time purchase or through a monthly subscription via Visio Pro for Office 365.
