Make your choice and press the Finish button. At this moment your process will be sent to the cloud server where the Visio VDX file is prepared. This can take some time. Then, the Visio file will be automatically downloaded, so you have to wait for information from your browser.

 

The following types of steps will not have its counterpart in the Visio diagram:

Begin and End of an expanded subprocess
Parallel, Join and Goto join
Goto node (if connections are shown)

The space occupied by these steps will be just filled with longer connectors. Both Choice and Decision steps will be represented by a diamond shape even though Decision is also an activity.
