Course Description

·    Add text labels to shapes and text headers to drawings.

·    Enter detailed data into shapes and customizing the data.

·    Insert images into drawings.

·    Work with layers and grouped shapes.

·    Create flowcharts, organization charts, and swimlane diagrams

·    Validate flowcharts and diagrams to check for errors.

·    Customize drawings with themes, variants, and special effects.

·    Print and share diagrams.

·    Visualize your data in your drawings with data graphics.

·    Work with containers and callouts to add structure to your drawings.

·    And more.
