I have created an organization chart in Visio 2019 by importing data from an Excel file. This chart spans 60+ pages. Now I need to remove the photo place holder from all the shapes in all pages. Is there a way to do it without doing it page by page.

Also is it possible to add customized headers to each page?

    @Kavinga Ranaraja ,
    Welcome to Q&A forum!

    Per my research and test, you may need to remove all picture placeholders page by page.

    • Please press Ctrl + A to select all shapes in your Visio file.
    • And go to Org Chart tab, select Show/Hide or Delete in the Picture group to hide or remove them.

    To add customized headers to each page. I suggest you could refer to "Add a header video" to apply a custom header for each page.

    Hope the information is helpful to you.
