If you are using, or are going to use, multiple Workflow Designer clients to connect to the same Content Manager, note that as of SDL Web 8, all those clients must use the same version of Visio. That is, you can no longer connect to a Content Manager instance from a client using Visio 2016, and at the same time connect to that same Content Manager instance from a client using Visio 2013 SP1.
