Most commercial Office 365 subscribers now have access to the Visio Online process-mapping service.

Visio is used to illustrate business processes and organizational hierarchies, or even generate network maps. The Visio Online service, which lets users share diagrams, was at the preview stage back in November, but now it’s released. It’s accessible by all Office 365 subscribers that have access to Office Online as part of their subscription plans, according to Microsoft’s FAQ page ( https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Visio-Online-Frequently-Asked-Questions-e6647040-2fca-42ec-9fa5-d16a4e39e0ee?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US )

Microsoft recently released a Visio Viewer for iOS solution that works with the Safari browser. It permits Visio files to be viewed from OneDrive, OneDrive for Business or SharePoint. The Android platform has support when using the Google Chrome browser.

Visio Online permits the adding and sharing of diagrams, but it currently doesn’t let users edit diagrams.
