Do we <em>really<\/em> need that ice cream after dinner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our instincts guide in these situations, but in project management or business, you need more than intuition to make informed decisions.&nbsp;You need a method to evaluate risks and potential outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flowcharts are ideal for this, but they&#8217;re hard to make. And although Google Docs does allow you to make flowcharts, it\u2019s not the most efficient method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, I\u2019ll show you how to make flowcharts in Google Docs and then reveal a better way to make flowcharts using a <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/flowchart-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flowchart Maker<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/diagrams\/flowchart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flowchart templates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/flowchart-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>START CREATING FOR FREE\u00a0<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Click to jump ahead: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#flowchart-in-docs\">How to make a flowchart in Google Docs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#flowchart-templates\">Does Google Docs have flowchart templates?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#venngage\">How to create a flowchart in Venngage<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To create a flowchart in Google Docs, follow these steps:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open a Google Doc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201c<strong>Insert\u201d <\/strong>&gt;

If you want to create a flowchart in Google Docs, you\u2019ll have to create it from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might be enough for simple flowcharts, but for complex flowcharts with multiple steps or shapes, Google Docs is a bad option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend using Venngage instead. It&#8217;s a simple and powerful design solution for business communications that&#8217;ll help you make better flowcharts faster. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: <em>Some of our flowchart templates are free to use and some require a small monthly fee. Sign-up is always free, as is access to Venngage\u2019s online drag-and-drop editor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"venngage\">How to create a flowchart with Venngage&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to make a flowchart, the last thing you want to do is stress about design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, the purpose of flowcharts is to help you optimize a process and\/or make important decisions, and not figure out how to become a designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And though there&#8217;s nothing wrong with using Google Docs to make a flowchart, especially if you need a simple one with little moving parts, you will need some design skills like making sure shapes and lines align. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also be limited in terms of customization options to make flowcharts more visual and engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear not though! Venngage can help you produce professional flowcharts like the one in the example below without any design skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 &#8211; Sign up for a Venngage account (it\u2019s free!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/infograph.venngage.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up<\/a> for a Venngage account using your email, Gmail or Facebook account.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infograph.venngage.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Log-in-or-sign-up-for-Venngage.png\" alt=\"venngage sign up\" class=\"wp-image-81128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Log-in-or-sign-up-for-Venngage.png 1024w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Log-in-or-sign-up-for-Venngage-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Log-in-or-sign-up-for-Venngage-768x458.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Log-in-or-sign-up-for-Venngage-730x435.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 &#8211; Browse to our \u201cDiagram\u201d category<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/diagrams\/flowchart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flowchart templates<\/a> can be found in <strong>&#8220;Diagram&#8221; <\/strong>section of our templates page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Browse to the \u201c<strong>Diagrams<\/strong>\u201d template page and then select the \u201c<strong>Flowchart<\/strong>\u201d subcategory. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage-1024x592.png\" alt=\"diagram templates venngage\" class=\"wp-image-82075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage-730x422.png 730w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/diagram-templates-venngage.png 1532w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can find several <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/types-of-flowcharts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of flowcharts<\/a> on Venngage from process flowcharts to swimlane flowcharts and even workflow flowcharts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 &#8211; Edit your flowchart&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Venngage templates are easy to customize and a better way to create more appealing flowcharts quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll show you how easy it is to edit a Venngage flowchart template in this example.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/diagrams\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-fccfac08-0b40-48fe-a303-dad09bd388b6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"622\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-622x1024.png\" alt=\"simple recruitment process flowchart\" class=\"wp-image-82078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-622x1024.png 622w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-182x300.png 182w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-768x1265.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-730x1202.png 730w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart.png 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/diagrams\/simple-recruitment-process-flowchart-fccfac08-0b40-48fe-a303-dad09bd388b6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>CREATE THIS TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>Want to change the circles to squares?
