Flowchart Shapes

The document provides definitions for various flowchart symbols used to visually represent processes and workflows. It includes symbols for steps, decisions, documents, storage, inputs/outputs, subprocesses, manual inputs, loops, references, sorting, merging, and more. Flowcharts use these symbols to break down processes into individual steps and show how they relate to each other through sequencing, decisions, and data flow.
