Technical requirements
The BPMN template and shapes are only available in Visio Plan 2 or Visio Professional. So, if you want to create BPMN diagrams, you must have access to one of the following editions of Visio:
- Visio Plan 2: The desktop and web subscription app
- Visio Professional 20xx: A Windows one-time purchase only
Important note
You can also use Visio Online if your subscription is Visio Plan 2, and then your Plan 2 web portion will also contain the BPMN shapes. However, a regular subscription to Visio Plan 1 will not contain the BPMN template and stencils. At the time of writing, the BPMN shapes are only available in the web version for the en-US locale, but it is expected that they will become available for other locales within the first half of 2023.
