I think I'd need to bring back to this topic about reading new Visio format (.vsdx) in SharePoint Online. Driving the customer to manually key in tag in the Keyword field in Process Diagram would be greatly ideal but this does not what we expect easily in life. In that matter, I have to find a way to programmatically read Visio VSDX file property

 

During my research that Microsoft published a JS API for Visio (https://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/visio/visio-javascript-reference-overview) but it is dedicated for Visio Online which might not be the approach in my case. Perhaps I'd need to trigger C# from a 3rd party cloud serverless in case there is no direct JS API support for Visio file.

 

If anyone has ever done such a case (without using serverless cloud service), please share. Your recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
