Frequently asked questions
Q. Is this public preview free?
A. Yes. You can use Visio Online's creation and editing capabilities for free until it is generally available (GA).
Q. Does my company need a Microsoft license to use Visio Online?
A. Yes. Since Visio Online relies on other Office 365 solutions-primarily, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Busines-your company will need an Office 365 subscription to use Visio Online during public preview.
