Use More > Import in a version that supports organizational-data import. Prepare names, titles, and manager relationships in the required TXT, CSV, XLS, or XLSX format, then check the generated hierarchy for missing managers or duplicate entries.
Start with a corporate or hierarchical template for management levels, an HR template for departmental planning, or a restaurant or construction template for an operational team. Replace sample roles with your organization’s actual structure.
Add positions, update names and titles, and connect each role to its manager. Use consistent department colors and distinguish direct reporting from project relationships so readers can follow the hierarchy.
Export your org chart for onboarding documents or presentations, or use link sharing where available. Keep an editable copy and assign an owner to update roles and reporting lines as your team changes.
