# Everything you always wanted to know about my visio artefacts but were afraid to ask

[Microsoft Visio](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/visio) has a big [user community](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/visio/ct-p/Visio), you can find stencils on many platforms including [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Visio/). If you don't find something, try third party commercial shape vendors such as [3DN](https://3d-networking.com/3d-symbols/), [NetZoom](www.NetZoom.com), [Shape Source](www.shapesource.com), or [Visimation](www.visimation.com).

I try to keep my artefacts as _fresh_ as possible by manually downloading them on a regular basis, sadly most vendors does not update them frequently. Furthermore, many stencils are only available to current customers via their support portal.

The repository also include more than 1,500 IT stencils older than 2019 because I have them and organizations are still using them.
