So we use visio for user flows. Sometimes we may have around 30 screens that are all placed as images. Maybe on the next sprint, the app is change and we have to update logos etc on every screen.

I'm trying to find the fastest way to use 'dynamic' linking so that when an image is replaced on a hard drive, the visio file will update upon refreshing/opening. This is instead of having to delete/replace all images.

All other Office 2010 products, one can right-click on an image and choose "Change picture" and all properties stay the same through the change to the new file. Granted, that's clicking on every image but it's much faster than having to actually replace/resize and position each picture.

Again, we have the Standard version. Objects, such as Illustrator, Photoshop etc do not actually show a preview of an image w/in Visio so that isn't any good.

A hack way is to place individual images in a Word or PowerPoint file. Place that file via the Insert/Object and then upon updating the Word/Ppt file, the update happens but that's totally hacky and placing each image in it's own Word or PowerPoint file kills the efficiency I'm trying to get.

Any ideas on how to place an image and be able to update the image after the fact when the disk image of that file is updated?
