Note : Visio in Microsoft 365 users will be able to view shape data in the Visio Editor, but will not be able to edit the data.Įxample user scenario: Process flowcharts This blog post details everything you need to know about this feature update in Visio for the web. Today, we’re excited to announce that users with a Visio Plan 1 or Visio Plan 2 license will now be able to view and also edit shape data in the Visio Editor. While a web user could access important information in the reading view, such as the product number, location, or manufacturer of a PC in a network diagram, the user could not update the data. Until today, Visio for the web users were limited to viewing data that had already been added to shapes in a diagram via the Visio desktop app. For example, shape data can further detail the steps in a process or details about pieces of equipment in a network diagram. Shapes in a Visio diagram can contain related data, called “shape data,” which is useful for providing additional details about the diagram without cluttering it with text.
