I am working on a swimlane map in which I will be handing off to a group that will be maintaining it in Visio going forward (non-negotiable). In exploring ways to make a template I use more Visio-friendly, I discovered that a lot of the swimlane maps shapes are transferring over as images instead of editable shapes. 

 

Does anyone have recommendations regarding shapes I can use to be more edit-friendly in Visio?

Hi @Shuffle 

 

Native Visio doesn't offer direct editing of swimlane shapes like those you create in Lucidchart.

When you import a Lucidchart document containing swimlanes into Visio, they often get converted into static images which are not editable within Visio itself.

Kindly try other possibilities for your requirement.

For more help, you can also refer the article out here - Swimlane Visio Template and Examples | Lucidchart

 

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards


HI @Shuffle, would you be willing to share a screenshot of your diagram in Lucidchart and the equivalent export in Visio so I can better understand what shapes you have that aren’t editable?
