SmartArt is a new group of easily editable and formatted diagrams. There are many preset SmartArt graphicslayout templates in a variety of categories such as list, process, cycle, and hierarchy.When an instance of aSmartArt is inserted, a Text Pane appears next to it to guide the user through entering text in the hierarchicallevels.
