FAQ
Questions, answered
The short answers about lists, snapshots, sharing and accounts.
- Do I have to draw anything?
- No. You list each person, their title and who they report to. StaffOrgChart places everyone and draws the lines. Change a manager and the chart redraws.
- Can I bring my list from Excel or Google Sheets?
- Yes. Paste the rows or upload a CSV with Name, Title, Reports to and Department. You can download it back out the same way.
- What is a snapshot?
- A dated copy of the chart. Save one each quarter and StaffOrgChart lists who joined, who left, new titles and new managers since then. The free plan keeps your latest snapshot; Pro keeps all of them.
- Who can see my chart?
- Only you, until you turn on the share link. Anyone with that link can view the chart but not change it, and you can switch it off or make a new link any time.
- Can more than one person edit the chart?
- Yes, on Pro. The owner makes an invite link in Settings and sends it to a second manager or office lead. Pro covers up to 5 editors, each with their own sign-in. Billing stays with the owner.
- Can I print or export just one department?
- Yes. On the chart, pick a department or a person's team from the Show menu, then download a PNG or print it (or save it as a PDF). Only that part of the chart is drawn.
- Is there a staff directory?
- Yes. Everyone on the chart is also listed in a searchable directory with their title, department, location, manager, work email and phone. People who open your share link can switch between the chart and the directory.
- Can I show open positions?
- Yes. Add a role you are hiring for and tick "open position". It shows on the chart as a dashed station so everyone can see where the new hire will sit.
- Do I need an account to make one chart?
- No. The free maker works in your browser with no sign-up, and you can download a PNG or PDF. An account adds saving, sharing and history.
