Visio Online enabled

As per the Message Centre I noticed that Visio Online has been enabled in my tenant. Free during the preview period, it will be interesting to see Microsoft's pricing strategy in production, especially given the high cost of this Office client SKU.

    I'd like to think it would be included in the enterprise plans, being able to create diagrams, it is aimed for basic diagrams anyway and couldn't be used to fully replace the full Visio client.  Charging extra if your on an E3 or E5 for example, I would find a bit odd but there again look what happened with Workplace Analytics!

    Apologies if I'm asking for researchable information--do we know that Visio Online editing will be included in what is now the Visio for Office 365 license?

      No info on that yet Matt but personally I'd be surprised if this wasn't added to the full Visio licence!
