  • When you try to save a large .vsd file in Visio 2016, Visio 2016 crashes, and the file isn't saved.

  • When you open a .vsdx file in Visio 2016, renamed rows in the Shape Data section are deleted for all master instances.

  • When you try to create an organization chart by using a Microsoft SQL Server driver, you receive the following error message in the organization chart wizard:
