Starting today, you can create and edit Visio diagrams online and share them across your organization using Visio Online in public preview. To enable these new features, which are available to everyone for free during public preview, ask your IT administrator to enable public preview features in SharePoint Online.  Please visit our support page for more information.

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.

I understand that part, it says so in the article.

 

I am more interested in the period after the preview phase. What license is needed then?

 

We are still finalizing the licensing for this product. We will be notifying about licensing as we approach end of preview phase.
Is this available in Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants for State & Local Government customers, Law Enforcement, etc.?
If not, when? Thank you.

Hello!  How do we enable this public preview option for our tenant.  I thought I saw you do this somewhere in Sharepoint, but I can't find the setting.

Thanks!

I too would like to know this, I was really looking forward to the July release.

@Rishabh Agrawal I would also love to know when/whether the free version will be available in the Netherlands.
