Manage shapes in Visio for the web

Visio for the web has many shapes that are organized into stencils. Each diagram has a starting stencil. But you can also add stencils to the Shapes palette, so you can quickly access other shapes you want. For example, to create an informal process diagram, you can add the Basic Flowchart Shapes stencil.

Use the Shapes palette to add, view, and remove stencils.
