Visio with SharePoint / Office 365

As you know that the SharePoint is most popular content Management System, it supports office web apps (All MS Office file types) except Visio files.

For Visio files, MS has introduced Visio Web Access web part to show the Visio file to a SharePoint page and this works fantastic.

Visio Online

Microsoft has now onboard Visio Online as a part of Office Web Apps (All Office 365 users can test in their environment as this in free of cost with their license)

Now It’s time to upgrade your existing solution of Visio file in SharePoint web part to Visio online and it also improve the performance of page load that has vision diagram.

Visio Online does not impact Visio Web Access Web Part. If you have SharePoint pages in which VWA Web Part has an embedded Visio diagram, they will continue to work. With Visio Online, you have additional capabilities to do the following:

Embed a Visio diagram in "Document" Web Part in Modern team site pages.
Build mashup solutions using Visio JavaScript APIs. These APIs provide richer solution-building capabilities compared with existing VWA support.

Visio Online is a new way to view and share Visio diagrams on the web. You first upload a Visio file (.vsdx, .vsd., or .vsdm format) to the cloud on either OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. Then, people can view the file in a web browser, even if they don’t have the Visio desktop application installed

To add Visio diagram on a SharePoint page, follow below steps

Create a new SharePoint page where you wish to embed the Visio diagram
Click on the + sign, and then choose Document.
